OK, I know that most people who are raging in this thread have no idea about design, but I'll try and clear this up.

It's good because:

  • It ditches the shield that's behind the logotype, which will make using the new logo easier on different backgrounds.
  • It uses a sans serif font (mostly; there's still vestigial serifs on the Ls and on the A), which makes the text more legible at smaller sizes and more modern.
  • The font is more uniform, both in size and glyph shape. It makes it possible to turn it into an actual typeface that can be used in multiple ways.
  • The modest detailing will make this logo WAY easier to animate, which is pretty key if you want to use it in... idk, video games and live streams?
  • New logo is way thicker and has a distinct outline - yet again making it much more legible, especially at smaller sizes and with lower contrast.
  • You can now actually make a 1:1 monochrome version of the logo to be used in screen printing or embroidery, which will make it much easier to use it on merch.

I get that people don't like change but this reaction is way out of proportion. The new logo is fine and it will help use the branding in every medium - from stream production, to merch.

A lot of people are mistaking the logo for an illustration. Logos are meant to be clean, legible and easy to reproduce and this one is all that. That doesn't mean the branding will be dull or interesting. Aside from the logo itself, the branding consists of key art, color palette, patterns, typography, animations and a slew of other things that create a cohesive imagery. Having a simple logo helps make all the other things shine. Just look at how simple the LEC logo is and how well it works with the rest of the branding.

thanks for the thoughts! if i was making an indie band i'd definitely call it the Vestigial Serifs

EDIT: Jesus Christ ó_ó - I just came back after few hours & I see this.
So - I'm not an author of this, because I don't even know who's the author - I just linked what I saw somewhere... I don't know exactly where specifically, but it was "somewhere somewhere" at surrenderat20.net

If that's true, that @The_Cactopus is the author - I don't want to write stuff like "hehe you're to slow with posting grandpa!" - you have my respect, because that image was funny as fk. If not - respect for the author, whoever he/she is.

So all credits to the author, not to the "delivery man".

PS: For my punishment (for that all karma) you can demote me to Iron. Seriously - details at pm & "revenge will be done".

Actually I want to get to the Iron....

YOU TOOK MY KARMA

edit: i forgive u even tho you called me a grandpa gg no re
