BadSeed84 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Downgradeold one was nice and simple, this one isnt as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Must be just the Canadian version. The American version is still the old one.I like the new modern typography. It's a little more angular, and the sunburst is bigger, which feels warmer than before.But the pseudo-gradients are a big minus. it makes the logo too busy.The stark contrast and all-caps type hasn't changed since the mid-80's, and is very dated.EDIT: Upon visiting the parent company's website, it does appear to be the new logo for the US as well.

DEAD! Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 It appears the logo change is chainwide, not just Canadahttp://www.wyndhamworldwide.com/media_cent.../show.cfm?id=10 I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 But the pseudo-gradients are a big minus. it makes the logo too busy.I don't mind the pseudo-gradients. What I mind is the fact that there is a real gradient (in the semi-circle) in additon to the pseudo-gradient.

Patsfan99 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 the new logo isn't so bad (gradients aside)... it's just that it's replacing a logo that, while not maybe outstanding on its own, had become iconic and easily recognizable for many a road tripper... so it's got a tough act to follow from that standpoint.... and it doesn't immediately seem as iconic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I think that's a major, major upgrade -- aside from the gradient in the semi-circle. I think the pseudo gradient looks fantastic and creates a much warmer effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneRaizer Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Downgrade. The 3D sunburst and with the light blue almost reminds me of a church logo. An upgrade would've been nice, but this is closer to a complete overhaul which was unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogoHound Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 It's a definate upgrade. Just looking at it tells me that it's a place where you would want to stay the night. Now it looks like a higher end place and not your average bargain motel. This is one of the few applications were you can pull off the gradient look. It also has the original elements incorporated into it so that it's easily recognizable by their loyal customers (if there is any). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipdopdillywip Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 The typography is very nice. the gradient that is below (in the blue) looks a little funny,otherwise, id say upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBear Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Reminds me of the 1980s Columbia Pictures logo (the starburst they used for a while before going back to the Statue of Liberty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
