CS85 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 OLDNEWThis was from like 3 weeks ago, but no search results turned up anything. I think it's a major upgrade, I hated the old chrome look.

habsfan1 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 At least now it doesn't look like a Pokéball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Isn't the circular multi-colored thing kinda playing itself out? This is Picasa... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I think it looks pretty good. I was never a fan of the pokeball myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash61 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I think what is bugging me about it is the matte finish. It's named Chrome for crying out loud! At least the Pokeball was shiny.

quantum Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 The old logo made Chrome look distinctive. The new logo lacks the factor that differentiates it from other logos.The old logo may not have been great, but this new set is a failure.

cameroncrazie07 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Yeah, I actually liked the old pokeball logo, major downgrade IMO. The Core 4 Sports Podcast Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoknight Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 The Pokeball logo is very mechanical. It looks like it's got moving parts.The old logo looks about as "fresh" as one of the 9.2 million "Bills" concepts on this board. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF. TITLES | 5th in HEISMAN | 7th in DRAFTS | 8th in ALL-AMER | 7th in WINS | 4th in BOWLS | 1st in SELLOUTS | 1st GAMEDAY SIGN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewharrington Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 The old logo made Chrome look distinctive. The new logo lacks the factor that differentiates it from other logos.You mean the old logo that was shiny, full of gradients, and extremely bright? That makes it look just like every other logo that's come out in the last decade, which is exactly the opposite of distinctive.

The overall look made it stick out compared to other similar looking logos. The flat look makes it less distinctive compared to others.

abluecarrot Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 The new one looks much nicer on a screen. Simple logos with few gradients is the new style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CON40 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 The new monochrome looks ok but I've never been a big fan of the Jamaican flag rasta palette. It's visually incongruous with technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
