Seriously. They shouldve just stuck to the old one.
The new one is just as terrible as Alan Wake 2.

This was my initial thought as well. What a dumb move by Take 2

Next they sue Respawn, Rare and Raven because of totally similar Rs and orange in the latter two logos and Raven's raven certainly looks almost like a star if you really try to see it, not. smh

As I've understood it, T2 just gave Remedy the green light for the remakes, as they own the IP. But Remedy is doing it on their own.
But never let reason get in the way of a trigger-happy IP lawyer.

They need to stop giving trademarks to Letters. I hope a Judge throws out "X".

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Control is everything to these companies.

That's a fight they will lose, there aren't enough similarities except both start with R.
They're hoping to win through intimidation and never go to court.

TFW you live long enough for EA to become the least-hated amongst the huge 3rd party publishers.

Yeah that R with the bullet & casing in it is great. It also tied them nicely with Max Payne.Seriously. They shouldve just stuck to the old one.

Considering they lost 8,5% and later 13.3% of their value following the Battlefront II and Battlefield V debacles.... Yea i can see them wanting to try a new direction of not being scumbags.

This law suit is frivolous as hell... that said, you're absolutely right! Remedy's old logo was infinitely better than the new one.

Both logos are terrible but I'm surprised to say it but the new one is better.
The old one just says 1996 is alive and well, somehow.
Remedy, if you're reading, I've got a new logo for you. All yours for £2m:
Remedy.

All that new logo does is remind me how terrible AW2 was (to me)
Hopefully T2 wins the lawsuit and they revert back to the classic look. Hell, hopefully they revert back to making good games.

Maybe if they make their logo a quadruple R, then T2 will leave them alone. lol

I kinda saw the remnant of the crippled R in the oval porthole or whatever but never would have seen a bullet in there either. Now it was pointed out I can't fathom how I could not see it.

Take Two Interactive is the same company who attempted to go after Hazelight Studios last year for their game being named "It Takes Two". Because the general public would obviously get "It Takes Two" and "Take Two Interactive" mixed up, right?
So I'm less surprised towards the fact that this lawsuit is taking place, with more surprise directed at just how fucking stupid this particular lawsuit is.
While I don't hate Remedy's current logo, their old logo is superior.

No lie, I looked around for signs that this was an older April Fools thread that got bumped.

I see the resemblance I guess. R, I immediately think Rockstar. Than being said, it’s a R.

That was my first thought, we laughed when the joker guy said he was filing a lawsuit - but the Florida Joker guy looks a lot closer to the in game character than these two logos look alike.
