Gone is the silly bellman carrying bags. Instead, we are now presented with a very modern look with the "o" being an important focus.<p> <a href="http://www.trademork.com/hotelscom/">Trademork</a> speculates the "o" could be "an elevator button and the arrows are up and down arrows" but we think it might have something to do with a search function since Hotels.com is essentially a search engine for cheap hotel prices.<p>Either way, we'll have to wait a bit before the new logo is in effect. Trademork reports that the application to protect the trademark was filed Jan. 25, 2008.<p>In other news:<br>&#183; Lionel Richie apparently consoled the defeated Patriots team at their private Super Bowl loss party juliana 2008-02-04T17:13:16-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2006/3/29/10035/3420 <![CDATA[<p><img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/tomorrow_flyinghotel.jpg">So the <a href="http://www.popsci.com/popsci/whatsnew/18ac893302839010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html">Flying Hotel</a> made a big impression on people a few months ago and someone has gone one step further to detail just what could be the future of the hotel industry--if everyone goes bananas for blimps.<p> <a href="http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/2006/03/resort-hotels-of-stratospheric-future.html">The Bldg Blog</a> has posted some drawings of another <a href="http://www.watg.com/singleproj_watg.cfm?categoryname=31%3CF%2EJY5Z%20%24%2AZD%21E%2DB%2F8T%40IZ%278%20%20%20%0A&amp;tableid=%21%24%20%20%20%0A&amp;projectid=%25%25XW%28%5B%5D%5C%20%0A">"hotel of tomorrow"</a> courtesy of an architectural firm. <p>But no sleek renderings here. Rather the pics are sort of science-fiction inspired and scary. <p>To us, blimps don't seem very futur-y, so the inside better be full of cool things. Also, we want to know where do you land and take off with these things? At regular airports? In deserted fields? <p><i> Image via <a href="http://www.watg.com/singleproj_watg.cfm?categoryname=31%3CF%2EJY5Z%20%24%2AZD%21E%2DB%2F8T%40IZ%278%20%20%20%0A&tableid=%21%24%20%20%20%0A&projectid=%25%25XW%28%5B%5D%5C%20%0A">Wimberly, Allison, Tong & juliana 2006-03-29T10:11:35-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
