Audiodrama Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 If I remember correctly no version of the XIV version had the number 14, Arabic or Roman, anywhere on it.correct.Somewhat incorrect, actually. Take a look at the spine of the VHS cover.http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091126015705/prowrestling/images/0/0b/WWF_Wrestlemania_XIV_-_Cover.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 ALSO in the graphics for the vs screens, you can see a XIV in the background on the right gold portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I like them all. 23 is the only one with a completely different font, 13 isn't easily legible, but none of them are significantly ugly to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I like them all. 23 is the only one with a completely different font, 13 isn't easily legible, but none of them are significantly ugly to me. "WWF"RESTLEMANIA 2000 had a different font as well. I'm quite partial to the Wrestlemania X logo. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they used Heat in the name at that time, we will never know. Other than Austin/Hart match it seemed like the rest was thrown together. Usually stuff like that is because there is something related to the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 WrestleMania 25 is pretty bad. Not only is it entirely way to busy, but it's wrong. WrestleMania XXVI was the 25th Anniversary, not WrestleMania 25. Don't even get me started on WrestleMania 2000.

Audiodrama Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Not to mention that they didn't even call it "WrestleMania 2000" during the broadcast (or much of the build-up). It was simply referred to as "WrestleMania." Not sure why they backed away from "2000"...perhaps the WWF/E feared their simpler fans thinking they missed out on the previous 1,999 events.

The thing that irked me was that WWF/E had never before (or since) used the year to designate 'Manias. They used numbers. The NWA/WCW used the yearly designation for Starrcade.

TheOldRoman Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 A beautiful but unused Wrestlemania logo...I understand the need for using the 25th Anniversary one, but it meant that this one had to go to waste.There was no need to use the 25th anniversary because it wasn't the 25th anniversary. It was 24 years after Wresltemania I, making it the 24th anniversary.I agree that the whole Wrestlemania 2000 was bad, but it is atleast somewhat understandable. X-Seven and X8 are beyond explanation, and whoever pitched those names needs to be punched in the groin.This is the first time I noticed, but the WWF attitude logo was only used for 4 Wrestlemanias, while the WWE version is on its ninth. Funny considering I though when they debuted the E logo that it looked half assed (which it was) and would quickly be replaced. They really need a new logo.

Because if its a PG show then, they are not going to get away with Wrestlemania XXX. I can see them doing a subtle logo like WMXX but with the XXX in some design but with the number 30 somewhere.

I would hope that most people are mature enough to realize it is the Roman numeral and not any other kind of reference.Then again, Vince could go completely in the other direction and totally play up a sex angle. I wouldn't put it past him and the company brass. But either way, they won't tiptoe around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 And FTR, I hate that they still use the modified Attitude logo. How outdated is that thing??I hear ya. You would think they would have used the changeover to PG to drop the Attitude logo completely. If only to show the rest of the world that they were really serious about leaving the controversial Attitude Era behind.I mean, is it just because they can't come up with anything better? I don't even get why it reads "WW". Am I missing something? Why no "E"?? GAHHHH!Something like this would be simple and ideal: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
