I think so too. It's the rainbow colors that make it look fugly. If it was slick, with teal and black, it might look alright.

I didn't notice that until I was like 12 or 13. Anyways, you will be happy to know that most brewers fans here in wisconsin tend to prefer the mit mb logo.It's a sports logo but it needs to be posted.

The glove logo is fucking brilliant. It's an "M" and "B" that looks like a baseball glove catching a baseball. Why even try and improve on that?

I actually haven't watched Nick since the logo change so I don't know how it looks on TV.

I like both of the new ones. Nick's seems weird at first but the animation for it at the end of shows is pretty cool, better than just a scribble/splat.
CN's old one felt really weird to me as a kid because it was like trying to enforce that CN is this colorless, straight-edge network, which it totally wasn't. Never really worked. Of course, nowadays calling it "Cartoon" Network may be a misnomer.

This is a great blog covering logo design (I believe I actually discovered it on GAF a while back):
http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/
The most recent one that has affected me is the new Blue Jays logo: http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/hi_hi_birdie.php
Looks nice and definitely an improvement over the old one, but something looks off compared to the original.
They just need to change the fonts. The old classic logo was "rounder."
Demolition Man, actually.
Old
New
Ughh...I'm a Marlins fan, but...I just don't know.
Still don't know why they simply couldn't do this.
Its not like the old logo had a bad history. 2 WS titles in 10 years is pretty awesome.

Ah yeah. It's subtle but it is indeed better, while still getting some nostalgia points. Good redesign.
I hate to differ with you there, but that logo was used on Nitro broadcasts many months before the takeover of WCW.

I love the new PS3 logo. No more Spider-man font!
Yep, it's all over their site.

Goatse olympics is the best
Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
Really? I've never seen that on wcw before the invasion angle. It looks like I'm gonna have to do some research.

Because Jeffrey Loria, the owner, is an avid art collector and his favorite color is orange. He's also a fucking idiot.
Also, your avatar is a great example for this thread. Old school Bucs logo is fucking awesome. Never liked the new one.
Another car manufacturer. The current version is good, but I miss the ducks. They would probably look out of place on modern Cadillacs though.
I'd love to see the rainbow logo again, but would look so weird on modern electronics. Even looking at my original iMac G3 in my closet, which started the solid color logo thing, I can't imagine them coming out with that design today.
If were talking about color.

That new one looks like shit. Why would they get rid of the icon yellow running man logo? Also, I'm not a fan of the all lowercase look in general.

They actually changed it to this which while still being bad is not close to as terrible as the my ___
I noticed this too couple of weeks ago, what's funny is that SPACE seems to be just crappily photoshopped on [________] in the logo that appears on every page on top left corner
Both Carton Network logos look fine...I actually haven't watched Nick since the logo change so I don't know how it looks on TV.

That's the same as the Starbucks approach.
Ad Executive: We need a new logo. I'll pay top dollar for the best new design!
Graphic Designer: How about we just zoom in on the old one?
Ad Executive: It's so simple, it just might work... *maniacal laughter*
Well the reason the MTV logo is double the fail is because after losing any last bit of music left on the channel they literally dropped the damn words off to reflect it. Insult to injury.
I'm pretty sure that logo on the right is literally the default preset for a Greyscale Gorilla HDRI lighting kit for Cinema4D.

One interesting thing about the MTV logo is how it changed to fit the TV.
quoted for truth that's so truthful it's physically jarring. and people are brave enough to WEAR it?
......
The new Cartoon Netowkr is a great morph of the original iconic logo and the new modern one. It's perfect.
Pretty good.
How the fuck has this not been posted?
Pretty good.

Not trying to prove anything, I just wanted to try.
This almost looks real.
I uh.. disagree.

It's not about negativity, it's about staying fresh and new. A new brand reveal gives the message of a new initiative and zeal for that company that they are staying ahead of the times, and that they aren't the same old company or product, but one that takes risks and is always trying something new.
And the new Comedy Central logo is bad by itself, but works really well with the overall style of the brand. (colors, background, patterns, typography) This applies to most brands. It's what you surround the brand with that matters.

Turn of the century Pepsi logo is a million times better than the current logo.
1973 Pepsi is best Pepsi
I recommend Brand New if you're interested enough into graphic identities work.
I'd like to point that the logo isn't everything in a visual identity, it's very prominent yes, but take it as the cherry on the cake.
People judges very hastily basing only on a logo, and this how the world works, but visual identities do work when the whole corporate design is planned adequately and specifically.

Actually, Starbucks approach is inspired from Nike's "swoosh": remove of the name, emphasis on main color and symbol (in this case, the siren).

Needs a consistent Font and the baseball doesn't connect to the Maple Leaf like the original did.

So many baseball teams have the same color scheme. I hated how the Astros had something unique and then end up with the same colors as half the League.
Oh, this is real? LOL

You're welcome.
I think it looks pretty awesome (on the iPad and MacBook), that's why I have such a sticker on my MacBook.

All these years of seeing the Pepsi logo and I never realized the circle was a stylized bottle cap.

NeoGAF really did have that dino logo at some point?

Yes. Of course.
You know, "Of course" makes the statement sound like a cover up or something like that...
