lol... maybe we'll fully embrace MS paint as our aesthetic by then

in the meantime here's the logo by itself

also here's what it might look like when we put it on key art

our guy T.J. also designed the new icon

edit: also here's the logo by itself on a grey background that i literally just made in photoshop

AND FINALLY for when we need to shrink down and maintain legibility, here's the black-and-white version

The new icon is really beautiful, but I do believe losing the "WoW plate" (no idea how to call that) aesthetic on the full logo is a loss. It's too…bland.

it was so iconic for League that it reminded everyone of another specific game made by our competitor

He does if he wants upvotes. This sub’s community doesn’t reward phrasing questions to devs respectfully. I’m making it a policy not to respond to disrespectful sh*t though.

I could understand your reasoning if you actually made the logo somewhat unique, as it stands it just looks like... text? Nothing about it stands out and it’s rather boring and bland. Has no substance to it.

I personally disagree (I think the details on the gold texturing are pretty unique), but your opinion is no less valid than mine.

Speaking on behalf of the company: we expected people to react this way to having the old logo replaced and we wanna see how people’s feeling change about the new one given time.

You don't have to respond, and it wasn't phrased respectfully at all, but he does have a point. How's the artists-to-programmers ratio at Riot these days? The client is higher on my priority list than the website, but a major company really shouldn't be letting customer-facing content be so janky. Especially not the website that might be first contact for a new fan.

I actually agree with the point. We need to fix the website and soon. Plans are in place for before the end of this year.

Which is 100% a good thing.

Great to see a Dev not bend over backwards for every toxic person in the community.

Good on you, Cactopus.

I won’t call anyone toxic. I want less name calling, not more. And I actually agree with u/texanapocalypse33 that we need to fix the website (plans are in place to do so for before the end of this year). I just don’t think it’s cool to call me or my coworkers clowns. If we could all avoid the name calling, that’d be great.

Ok, I'll ask you in a polite manner.

Why do you think that the league website hasn't been in the best of shape for a while? Multiple features of the website seem to be abandoned (i.e. they haven't been updated in a while).

The biggest offenders are probably the champion ability / bio pages which don't get updated even months after changes to champions and the web-based match history that seems more like a tech demo for your API than anything else as it is buggy (doesn't work at times).

Does Riot have any plans to update these pages / features, or perhaps simply discontinue them (I'm assuming they're still supported officially by you guys since I see it linked through the official website as well as through new articles published there within)

I think the simplest answer is that it just hasn't been prioritized versus other issues we're working on. That's changing soon, though.

Thanks for that info. Any plans for the client? I'm not a programmer and I imagine it's all very complicated, but I also imagine riot has the budget to hire people capable of solving those problems. Are you able to speak on whether there's any real push to fix the myriad of problems from poor performance to losing LP from forced dodges that the clitent has suffered from since it was released?

Team's working on it—has been for a number of months. I'm hesitant to make promises because when we think we're going to get massive improvements and then they underperform for a lot of players it stings everybody worse. It's something we're working on, though
