It doesn't look that much different, at least tgey disn't pull a Marvelous on us. I still like the old logo better.

Old Logo is so much better. Please stop with the logo redesigns, guys.

 

[Etzer]

I can't say I like it. :/

The top bar on the T is too short. Very annoying.

Glad I'm not the only one bothered by that.

The top of the "T" is not long enough. It really irks me. Otherwise, decent logo.

that T is messed.

Heh, check out the copyright now under their games (PersonaQ for example):

Neat. Comparison of the copyright on the Persona 5 website from before and after:

 

[RaikuHebi]

So serene. Much modern.

 

[Dark Octave]

At first I was like "why not" but looked at the old one again (OP image not working for old logo) and yeah, I like the old one better. The new one has short letters and not as much detail.

I dunno.

 

[Jinfash]

The top bar on the T is too short. Very annoying.

The new type is too compressed while the A remains the same width sans bar. It's kinda distracting.

 

[Saroyan]

I'm not sure I would have even noticed the change if this thread wasn't here

 

[Jimnymebob]

Quick and dirty edit to add the cuts into the letters and makes the kerning similar to the old logo.

 

[Ryu Hayabusa]

I like it.

 

[Levito]

I'm not so sure about this new logo:

You can barely make out what it says...

 

[Alienous]

It's amazing that it's so similar, and yet so distinctly less interesting.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I can't say I like it. :/

you missed my post.
I thimk it only needs a few more pixels, but having a stand out colour and looking like that doesn't quite work for me.

 

[hydruxo]

They have one of the ugliest logos I've ever seen for any business. Looks so outdated. Both of them.

 

[Taruranto]

 

[KojiKnight]

Is that improperly kerned? Or is it just me? It seems the spacing is off between the letters and it bothers me greatly.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Aside from the T, the S has a much bigger gap than the other letters, but I don't know shit about kerning.

 

[Raticus79]

Reminds me of Carnival Cruise Lines. They use a similar font and colour combo on everything.

 

[Aeana]

I can't say I like it. :/

Yeah, the problem is that they extended the width of the A, so the T looks strange next to it.

 

[RM8]

No, I don't like it. Oh well.

 

[Syril]

Can't wait for the day that flat / simple / minimalistic logos go out of fashion and we can get some depth / complexity to our logos again.

See, this is a fucking logo. I could believe that an artist spent creative effort to design this.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Kind of a sidegrade. The slight simplification is good and I like the new "A" but the rest is kind of dated generic. I probably would have gone with a thinner font if they were going to go in this direction. Maybe something closer to this:

 

[Hero of Legend]

See, this is a fucking logo. I could believe that an artist spent creative effort to design this.

Fuck yeah, I'm alright with TT Games current logo, but hell no it never will replace this one, timeless.

 

[Sobriquet]

Looks much better.

 

[emag]

Is that poor kerning or am I losing my mind?

It's horrible kerning. But I wouldn't rule out you losing your mind as well.

 

[Voliko]

Definitely a downgrade, it's so boring. It doesn't have anything to set itself apart besides the /|. Bring the cuts back!

 

[Shig]

 

[Dennis]

This makes all the difference.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Reminds me of Carnival Cruise Lines. They use a similar font and colour combo on everything.

Holy crap, it does look like a cruise company logo!

 

[jf DOOM]

I like it. Looks cleaner.

 

[Octorockin']

I like it, though it could be due to its association with the company's restrengthened identity. I'm glad to see Atlus back on its feet and past its recent hurdles.

 

[hemo memo]

Yes, the thinner font is better.

 

[Winterblink]

Looks fine to me; still says Atlas.

 

[Soriku]

The beginning of the end for / T L U S.

 

[El-Suave]

I guess they did that in house - otherwise subtle changes like these remind me when our German Employment Agency changed logos.
Old one and new one:

That change did cost a confirmed 100.000 Euros and the estimated cost for all agencies to implement it was 10.000.000 Euros.

 

[Darksol]

I like it.

 

[FirstBlood]

Just be glad they didn't go with @LUS

 

[Dice//]

THe spacing is the only thing that bugs me, but otherwise if their games are still good, then I'm happy.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Dat 90s webpage nostalgia. for some reason all I could think of when looking closely at the new logo was that Atlus is an anagram of "a slut."

 

[sörine]

It's okay. Not a complete failure like Bandai Namco or Konami were.

 

[cuyahoga]

I don't really care for the company's games, but this new logo is pretty solid.

 

[kmax]

 

[eyeball_kid]

The leaning of the A and the compressed width of the U and S letters makes the logo look squished. Also, the abstracted A now feels disconnected from the rest of the letters, none of which maintain its forward momentum as the old logo did with the old S and the linework on the T.

Whoever made the new logotype doesn't really have a strong grasp of typography. Moreover, the changes seem arbitrary. Companies generally change a logo when they want to express a new direction for a company. What does this logo say? It says to me that they're confused about their image or their future, but they don't want to let go of the past completely.

What's curious is that this high-res version has completely different kerning. At least this one breathes better.

 

[HoodWinked]

that kerning looks terrible and amateur.

 

[Zaventem]

Old logo looks better.

 

[Messofanego]

Maybe catering to those with apperceptive visual agnosia?

 

[John Rabbit]

the fact that the A is like 150% wider than all the other letters is really fucking with me.

 

[eyeball_kid]

The new Index logo at least went in a different direction. I'm okay with this.

 

[RMI]

the A, T, and L look fine but the U and the S look kind of odd to me.

Otherwise I think it looks fine. I'd buy their games regardless, even if their logo was ATLUS written in comic sans with fucking emotes and lol-cats spinning around it.

 

[Josh7289]

Oh, that looks good.
