They should've changed the S. It's so ugly

 

[Coxy]

now the only thing that's cut off is europe

 

[Jinfash]

That U needs to loosen up a little. Take it easy.

 

[-Horizon-]

Liked the old logo better.

 

[duckroll]

The logo is kinda whatever, but I think we should really be celebrating that Altus as officially gotten their original corporate identity back. It's pretty damn cool.

[kick51]

the ugliest logo i've ever seen in my life, kiss your fanbase goodbye

 

[Syril]

What the hell? Why is every logo redesign from this decade so incredibly bland? It's like these logos all just graduated college and are trying to make themselves look serious because they were told that everyone will judge them only on the most superficial criteria.

 

[Jimnymebob]

The kerning looks odd.

 

[Lightning Lord]

Should have just used the logo I made for them:

 

[erpg]

*shrug* I like it.

 

[Aeana]

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

 

[pleunv]

The high res version has improved lighting.

Nice. I'm in the privileged group that can find this hilarious.

 

[gngf123]

Ahaha .

Not a fan of the new logo, but the differences are nothing major.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Went from a model kit logo to as one said, a hardware logo.

I like it, definitely better than Marvelous' new logo, that's just clip art the logo.

Snazzy logo for index though.

I bet if Sega changed its logo, people would lose their shit a bajillion times over. Nintendo just changed the color.

But yeah, it'll be jarring for the first while. But hey, let's see how it looks, someone should attempt a mock-up.

 

[esterk]

Definitely more aligned with what is popular in graphic design nowadays - more simplistic and minimal. It's not a huge change but I will say I liked the design aesthetic on the old one.

 

[wuxian fengguang]

I quite like it. Slick and modernized, yet in touch with its roots.

 

[Magicpaint]

Prefer the old one but meh, still better than that awfully basic new Marvelous logo.

 

[terrisus]

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

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

 

[RPG]

Prefer the old one, but the new one is still easily identifiable. Still nowhere as drastic as the Konami logo change.

Also, I like the new Index logo (not that it matters at all, since I have no idea where I'll ever see it.)

 

[Levito]

Some of these nitpicks on the new logo are hilarious.

 

[Taiser]

New logo

 

[D4Danger]

missed opportunity

 

[zroid]

I barely even recognize it anymore

 

[SousedLouse]

The logo is kinda whatever, but I think we should really be celebrating that Altus as officially gotten their original corporate identity back. It's pretty damn cool.

That's true. It's a small gesture, but it underscores the fact that Atlus is "back", so to speak. And the time that's passed between Atlus getting their name back and now makes it feel a little more genuine - like it's incidental.

 

[Hero of Legend]

So I assume Conception 2 will be the last and PersonaQ will be the first with the new logo? Not sure what's in-between.

 

[klinkcow]

It looks like Impact font...

interesting kerning choice as well

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

That looks nice.

 

[Terra_Ex]

I prefer the original tbh, this seems like an arbitrary change.

 

[injurai]

missed opportunity

i am die

 

[Green Wiggly]

Absolutely disgusting and inexcusable. All preorders cancelled.

 

[Empty]

the way the A in the logo is stripped down and simplified is very clearly a symbolic indication of how the new persona will be stripped down mechanically. the tip of the T is less wide showing how their games will be shorter and have less breadth of content. the U is also made more homogeneous to lead into them taking personality out of their games to appeal to the average gamer.

this is shameful

Obsession with minimalism. This is the same thing that led to someone actually getting paid for spilling a drop of blue paint and calling it USA Today's new logo.

 

[Magnus]

Hideous. Not kidding.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I prefer the original tbh, this seems like an arbitrary change.

Certainly not arbitrary. Some might question its design but, like duckroll stated, this is a fairly effective means of highlighting the fact that Atlus is its own entity once again.

 

[braves01]

 

[Matt Attack]

I kind of like their new logo. I don't know if it was a necessary change but I don't mind it at all.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Looks better.

 

[Aquamarine]

Obsession with minimalism. This is the same thing that led to someone actually getting paid for spilling a drop of blue paint and calling it USA Today's new logo.

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.

 

[wmlk]

I like it.

 

[ohlawd]

that T is messed.

 

[klinkcow]

this got my curious as to the origin of the Atlus logo - and wow, it's fairly hard to find a concrete "History of Atlus"

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

[AkuMifune]

downgrade.

 

[Graphics Horse]

that T is messed.

Looks a tad too narrow.

 

[TheSlySoul]

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

 

[Hero of Legend]

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

©ATLUS ©SEGA All Rights Reserved.

 

[CrazyTank940]

Something about the new logo just doesn't feel right to me, can't put a finger on it really.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Prefer the old logo and the top of the T is a little short.
