Whoever made that logo was laughing their way to the bank, no doubt.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.

I feel it fits the company philosophy much better
I miss the old one. How long did they have it for? I remember seeing that on games since I was really young.

Atlus just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by having a boring minimalist logo. If you screw up your logo design in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after seeing this new logo with the letters too far apart, is not going to want to purchase Persona 5 for any system, nor will they purchase the stupid spinoffs like Dancing All Night. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Atlus has alienated an entire market with this move.
Atlues, publicly apologize and cancel the logo redesign or you can kiss your business goodbye.
Definitely looks better then
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:
This is one great, I really liked the notches in the logo before, it was part of the character, you know? The actual new logo is pretty bleh though. Not great but not horrible.

I'm indifferent to the new logo, it's not that great, but it's not awful either, just very average. I've seen worse company logos *cough*Gap*cough*, this one is alright.
Though it's pretty amusing to find this gem of a logo from ATLUS US branch from the PS1 days.
I genuinely laughed at this. Never gets old.Atlus just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't like it.
Solid letters suck.
Needs more gaps:
Much better.
