i think the new logo is kind of cool, however i have to agree on the perspective ("tilt"). making banners and everything will be a pain in the arse

but colors seem cool to me. even though i like the red ones better, because red/brown has always been the abandonia's ..how to say, signature?

btw saccadde most probably thought it's complex because there were watermarks all over it like it were the most expensive piece of graphics on the internet (..like it were difficult to clean a logo like this from it anyways lol)

and i don't agree with quia that you can't change logo 'radically' :P and i also don't agree that logo has to be "readable". logo needs to be memorable. that's all what's expected from a logo

Bah, who cares about what you think? :tongue:

The thing is that if the logo isn't readable, someone who doesn't know what the heck that logo is about, no matter how memorable it is, he will not know where to look. Think of it as a courtesy to the newbie that wants to know what all this fuzz is about


(In case it isn't obvious, the "who cares about what you think" was a joke)

and what's a user going to know if there's written "abandonia"..?=P that there's a lot of old games? or that this place is abandoned? there's really a lot of books and lectures about design. and believe me, if a website logo is memorable it doesn't have to be "readable". if a user knows that this mark belongs to this place that's what matters. and it's not like it were completely unreadable btw ...

Who's logo is that? AB.fr or AB?
Interestingly, they also have a facebook account, steamgroup http://steamcommunity.com/groups/abandonwarefrance, twitter and all that bollocks. you can get the other links from their site as i can only copy/paste one item at a time here.

They're on Squakenet network, I think - reckon that's where I found them.

can't be arsed to post anything more.

Yes russ, once again you read my mind perfectly and surprise me that you always know what I am thinking before I even think it.
