    More comic book logo talk!

    I know that DC has retired the 2005 logo, and good riddance to it, but it's still such a downgrade from its predecessor:

    The Bullet was kind of long in the tooth by 2005, but their idea of "modernizing" it looks like it was spat out of the same machine that has spat out most of the sports logo updates in recent times. Its replacement, while a bit better, still looks overly corporate and bland (at least by default):

    Just...too wordy, Fox, too wordy.
  • the fucking fuck is with that 2
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    That's how the 20th Century Fox "2" is supposed to look, really

    You're just seeing it from an unflattering angle
  • I feel like that uses 5 different sets of type

    That's impressive in its own right

    Why not just, like, use the plain 20th Century Fox logo but with a "TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION" subtitle? That would be more aesthetically pleasing, I'd think...

    Because Rupert Murdoch's Fox has made it a point to piss all over the iconic 20th Century Fox logo

    Considering how '90s it is, I'm surprised the old logo lasted as long as it did

    Same.

    We can do anything if we do it together.
    It's also surprising that the old logo lasted so long given that it lost any aesthetic sense after the World Wildlife Fund forced the 'F' to be removed in 2002.

    Local TV logo design in the year 2014, everybody:

    I can see what they're going for, but I dunno, somehow it doesn't do it for me.

    Ehhhhhh, no

    The wordmark's set in what appears to be Century Gothic, for one (which goes against pretty much all of MS's design standards dating back to at least the Vista days). The panels have a little more legitimacy, but there's something in me that feels unconvinced given how recent the switch to the W8 panels was.

    So anyway, I'm watching HLN for some reason, and omg Nationwide got rid of the square and went back to the N for real...and they animated the bird, something I wanted them to do way back in 1989-1990!

    I forgot to mention that...

    you know what I don't know how to make the Columbus Clusterf**k logo parodic because real sports logos have gotten there:

    Funny, I was thinking about the Columbus Clusterf**k the other day

    You know any NFL team here would be driven out by an angry mob of college football fans

    so that RubberDucks logo was designed by Brandiose, a firm that is, among other logos, responsible for this identity

    the team's name is the Stockton Ports, and I don't know which side of the process led to stuff like Not-Popeye menacingly wielding big asparagus and such...

    I wonder if they ever abbreviate "Stockton Ports" as "S'Ports"

    I know the "B" shape is a reference to the Hanna-Barbera splotch logos that appeared in the title cards of their early cartoon shorts...are the stars a reference to the Swirling Star?
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Possibly...could also be generic pixie dust, but who knows?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Or a reference to a certain animation smear effect present in Golden Age H-B material...

    Remember a while back, how I said it was weird that Columbia Pictures seemingly never used "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean" over the Torch Lady? Well, it turns out they did, in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington...something I would have known if I'd ever watched that movie all the way through and not just the ending.

    The new Finder icon is a cutie. Never knew that the box could work without the big stroke between the two "faces", but it does.

    This seems to be the only good picture of the old "Distributed by Warner Bros." closing logo out there:

    I like its rendition of the WB shield - it's the typical wide one, as opposed to the narrower one they seem to prefer. But when they want a wide version of the shield, what do they do? Stretch out the narrower one! Do they not have access to a good picture of this version of the shield?

    Behold, this hideous revival of the Orion logo:

  • whoever greenlit that "Ri" ligature at MGM needs to be promptly removed
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    It was actually part of the original Orion wordmark...

    That animation in general's pretty bad though...it makes Orion look like some chintzy, fly-by-night entity...

    It's weird when Orion feels like it's too classy for fucking MGM (we all know they've seen better days, but of course they've gotten chintzy in recent years, though they're less chintzy now than they were like 10-15 years ago)

    Can you get more '80s than this:


  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    are you reviving that
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Of course I am! I'm gonna stick it at the beginning of that new line of Hanna-Barbera cartoon videos that ABC Video Enterprises, Inc. (Obviously Not Warner Home Video) is releasing

    I don't like the new colour as well. It doesn't match the rest of my phone icons as nicely. It's too blue to play nice with the row of green icons, and definitely too green to hang out with the blue icons. 
  • it's very minty
  • I feel like they changed it so Hangouts stands out a little more against stuff like the Apps section of the Play Store and the standard Android green.

    I don't mind too much but eh. Most of the Material changes are welcome, IMO.

    The more I look at Media General's logo, the more it bothers me. It looks it dates to the '70s or the '80s, and was hastily digitized in the '90s.

    Moreover, Gannett got rid of their old globe logo a few years ago for looking too dated and not modern enough - this thing is begging to be replaced with a new logo!
