Honestly they should have rebranded entirely after the Alcatel-Lucent acquisition. It's no secret that what was Alcatel-Lucent is what makes Nokia Networks what it is today.

Find a great logo in 1975 and settle on it forever? If so, I completely agree. So many great logos lost to meddling marketing dudes.

I agree but it’s branding 101 that people should be able to read the name of the company. It’s like they know it’s not recognisable so that’s why they’re also keeping the old one.

Nokia has always been an electronics manufacturer, but about a decade ago they realized that their mobile phone division was losing a lot of ground to Apple and Android. They partnered up with Microsoft to create the phones for Microsoft's mobile OS and then sold off the division to Microsoft a few years later. Part of that deal was that Microsoft got to use the Nokia brand made famous by their pre-smartphone devices that were incredibly rugged and reliable while still affordable.

When this happened, you had two different companies using the same company name. Nokia Networks was the main brand and still made lots of equipment like routers, switches, cell tower radios, and optical networking equipment. Nokia Mobile/Nokia Phones was essentially a different company, though as I understand it after Microsoft left the cell phone market Nokia bought the company back but spun it off as its own company also using the Nokia brand.

I immediately read Nokia but that’s probably because I’m a designer and I’m more accustomed too negative space logos. And therein lies the problem, that if you need prior knowledge to read it then it’s not working as intended. It’s the same issue that Kia faced with their simplified logo (people googled “KN”) and a more recent example is Kate Bush’s new album “Fish People” written in ascii. People thought it was a code to crack when it was perfectly readable for a trained eye.
