Fashion Marketing & Management 1

From rebranding the logo, means the change in the website, now using the small logo than the old one they used for over 30 years. This is one of the problems that brand is currently facing as it has been confusing to the customers as they do not understand the strategies the A&F is currently taking.  Looking at Abercrombie & Fitch website it looks simple and easy to use.
