You're kidding, right?

For the sake of the cola wars.

The old one is so iconic. I love seeing it scattered throughout old Konami games. The new one is barely a logo.
My GF (who does not know who konami is) says "that one looks like bacon strips!"

One of the worst fucking logos ever. Looks right at home on the back of a rascal scooter, though.

Spiderman font is what made it so great!
AOL:
AOL changed their logo not too long ago.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
The myspace new logo is money. People just can't separate the idea of myspace from the logo.
The people using myspace and all the shitty music and lame pages people made were the problem.. but that new logo was simplistic and great... it was just too late.. Facebook had already won.

Turn of the century Pepsi logo is a million times better than the current logo.
1940 > the rest
I've gotten used to it now so i enjoy it more than the tower.

Confusing, not clever. My Space is meant as a personal place, area or spot. Not a gap between words.

Ah, yes, the classic "You're all wrong / Heaven forbid you become [x]" argument.
Fine choice, sir.

Old Bucs uniforms were terrible, though. UGH creamsickle and red? *BARF*
They wouldn't be as bad if they won Super Bowls wearing them. People just needed something to blame for those terrible seasons and those uniforms were the only things people could blame.

i think the more interesting topic would be "companies who change their logo and get universal acclaim from armchair designers on the internet"
because that has literally never ever happened

Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
funny you would say that, i just watching a video with some of their logo intros thinking the same thing
pretty crazy in hindsight
I think so too...The "copyright" thing is really clever, I think. I guess it makes sense to not like it if you don't know why the other C is shaped the way it is, like the OP.
I have a feeling a lot of you people are dissing new logos thanks to our friend 'nostalgia'.
Regardless. I'm not sure how the new Comedy Central logo is any better, really. It's boring and bland and certainly does not remind me of "comedy". That's not to say the old logo was perfect. But at least it was more playful and wacky.
The Cartoon Network logos I've always found really bad. They were often saved thanks to some animations made my the network. But that didn't stop them being rather dull in stills.

Not every logo is supposed to scream what it does at you. Also, for Comedy Central having their logo similar to that of a clean-cut, "boring and bland" copyright mark for a channel that mocks these things all the time is pretty funny.

dr. pepper has had a lot of revisions.
i'm not saying it got progressively worse (id say the 1923 is the worst). i just think its interesting to see the changes. i like the current one the most.

That font is over 100 years old. Time to move on.

The old Pepsi logo was basically a sun rising over the ocean. It made you think about being on the beach.
The new one isn't terrible, but it doesn't evoke that image as much. If you think really hard it might evoke a sailing boat with the sun behind it.

It's a blank space you can fill in with whatever you like? Personal profile, music, movies? "My Whatever"? Not a space between words? Ya follow?

The best part about that logo was that jobs asked for some options that rand could show him, so jobs could pick the one he liked.
So Rand just told him "there are no options. You will pay me, and I will make your logo, and if you don't like it you don't use it".
And jobs had to shut the fuck up.
yes, I read the sj biography. fuck off
One of the reasons that people prefer "nostalgic" logos is because they're simple. A lot of logos these days try to do too much, and have gradients, drop shadows, highlights and a host of other little effects that are so easy for designers to use these days. Unfortunately, there's usually no real point to them.

I always liked the old windows logo compared to the newer one.
I liked how the flag window thing breaks apart and trails off gradually getting smaller.
Go figure, I like the old apple logo compared to the new as well.
Looking at these old and new logos, a lot are going minimalist now and some really have payed off, while others I don't think are as great.
Like the old Konami logo. It's small, easy to identify and is somewhat unique and really iconic.
New one is minimalist and sleek, but easy to not notice or grab attention as easy.
Logos are an important figure head of anything, especially with companies, brands, ect.
... dinos are the best logo for everything. Period.

How the fuck has this not been posted?
At least it's accurate.
Not sure why, but that logo reminds me of something you'd see at Epcot circa 1982.

I just designed this new logo for Comedy Central. What does GAF think?
It's Comedy Central and a big broadcasting tower. Spewing out comedy centrals programing all over the heavens. Good?

PS3 logo change changed for the better, the long PLAYSTATION 3 in Spider-Man font was not distinguishable from far as apposed to the simpler 360 or Wii
