A fresh and refined look for Remedy Entertainment

A few years ago, as our studio has been transforming from creating a single game at a time to making several simultaneously and expanding beyond the borders of Finland, to a second location in Stockholm, Sweden, we embarked on a mission to refine our visual identity. We haven’t updated our logo...

www.remedygames.com

Creating a new logo and a refreshed visual identity for Remedy was an emotional journey, like anything to do with art. For longtime Remedy followers, you surely know how vital artistic direction is for us. Not just in our games but from the standpoint of how our studio identity looks. Not to mention our hoodies!

As a game development studio, we have come a long way since 1995 when we got our start. Remedy is constantly evolving.

The bullet in the letter R in the old logo represented the era of Max Payne, but the Remedy of now is much bigger than a single game; we have a whole portfolio of games, new and old.

It was time to update and redefine our visual identity to bring more consistency, showcase our evolution over the years, and better express our vision of today's Remedy.

The Remedy logo means a lot to us, but we know it also means a lot to you. Like the games we create at Remedy, we approached this process with great care, consideration and a lot of passion!

We want to create memorable worlds, stories, and characters for you to experience through our games. We wanted our new logo to reflect how we constantly evolve and continue creating exciting games with the very best people. However, it's all still one Remedy where courageous creativity thrives. We hope you like the new look.

[Dr. Suchong]

Crisp and punchy.
I like it
Now give us Control 2

 

[Fahdis]

 

[Valt7786]

Have they just taken the R from Control and jazzed it up a bit? and I use the term "jazzed" lightly here...

 

[Kikorin]

Team Rocket vibes from this logo.

Unrelated, I want take the chance to say yet again that I love Remedy.

 

[The Fartist]

It hurts my eyes, not even joking.

 

[CGNoire]

Im calling it now.

There logo screen is gonna have that R come firing out from the Left screen edge toward the center of the screen accompanied bye a Gun shot sound. Then the 2 other R fragments will pop out from behind it accompanied bye a chick, chick sound.

 

[CGNoire]

sorry but that's a downgrade

Yah there other one was so classic and timeless.

 

[GHound]

Now that's a job right there. Copy. Paste. PAYCHECK.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Never even noticed that it was supposed to be a bullet in the old logo until I read this and finally saw it, lol.

Anyway, it was a neat logo. This new one is basic as fuck.

 

[GymWolf]

The logo was made by ubisoft because you can notice the downgrade.

 

[Kenpachii]

Logo hurts my brain,

Also can't wait to get white color beamed into my eyes when opening there games now.

 

[phaedrus]

It hurts my eyes, not even joking.

It's like screen tearing, only vertical.

[Alan Silvestro]

I like it. But the old one had more personality.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Awful.

 

[roosnam1980]

cant focus on that logo

 

[Perrott]

New logo reminds me of Rockstar's, especially with the game-specific color variants.

 

[Iced Arcade]

someone made a logo on microsoft paint and tried to talk deep about it.

 

[Connificent]

cant focus on that logo

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Noticed on that page that they're hiring a narrative lead for Max Payne...it's further off then I thought, then

 

[Husky]

Usually these logo updates are pretty awful (lmao Ubisoft), and I was expecting the same for this, but I like this one. I think it's an upgrade. Makes me think of shimmering glass.

 

[Rayderism]

Looks like vertical screen tearing to me.

 

[Banjo64]

Who comes up with this shit

 

[adamsapple]

Please re-confirm Alan Wake 2 for 2023.

 

[Fbh]

When your printer is having issues but it's easier to just change the company logo than trying to fix it.

 

[Katatonic]

Definitely a cleaner, more confident logo IMO. I think Control gave them that needed shot in the arm.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Must have been the same person that made up the Liberty Mutal Insurance jingle.

Liberty, Liberty, Liiiberty, Liiiberty

Genius

 

[flying_sq]

Rockstar lawsuit inbound

 

[StealthGoblin]

Is there some some dual meaning to that logo or is it just vertical screen tearing? I feel like I'm being dumb and not noticing something obvious.

 

[Crayon]

I don't even know what the old one looks like but that is awful. #teamhurtsmyeyes

 

[UnNamed]

Their new logo has tearing.

 

[SportsFan581]

Optician approved.

Things starting to look blurry? Having problems with double vision?...

 

[Robb]

I actually like it. Something about it kind of reminds me of their games. Very fitting visually imo.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Remedy's new logo.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Oh wow, looks like a corrupted JPEG

It was surely "an emotional journey" to the ugliness guys, seriously, just open your eyes Remedy.

 

[SportsFan581]

It does kind of capture the styling they go with in a way, if you are going to comment seriously on it.

I actually like it.
To me it evokes a sort of alteration of reality, a weird shift that's awkward to look at and makes you double check to figure out why it looks awkward
Which I think fits their current style of games focusing on the supernatural, parallel realities, time travel, etc.

I actually can picture the games of a company with that logo looking like this:

 

[Johnny Concrete]

Yea good logo. Much better then the old one.

But wait. Did they just say that Alan Wake 2 is releasing this year??!!?

 

[Umbasaborne]

No way alan wake 2 is still coming this year, right?

 

[GinSama]

Man i love some quantum break. My favourite developer of all time. Love their games

 

[Mokus]

R-r-remedy or Rrremedy?

 

[SmokedMeat]

Eh, not a fan.

 

[semiconscious]

i find it delicate, with a pleasing after-taste...

 

[Killer8]

Not surprised they wussed out on the bullet. Violence le bad in 2023.

 

[wipeout364]

Terrible, I hope they didn't stress themselves too much because it wasn't worth it for that. Honestly don't care though since it's the game I want to play and when the corporate logos show up I am to fixated on hitting X, A, or the space bar to try and get past that crap to get to the game.
