The font is an edited Futura Futuris Medium by the way.

Thank you, kind sir. It looked like a Futura offshot because of the perfect-circle "O", but I wasn't sure. Haven't actually seen the Futuris though.

 

[OnionPowder]

Not sure about the bird but the witcher 3 logo is way better

 

[Fletcher]

It breaks my heart this game was delayed.

 

[Savitar]

I quite like the Witcher logo.

The bird though....yeaaaaaaaaaah, not a fan.

For some reason I keep thinking of a Pokemon.

 

[Wasp]

Their old company logo was awful so this is better.

 

[injurai]

Nah, it is suspect. I wonder what made them come up with that.

They were the localization, porting house, and domestic publisher for Poland. Namely during the CD era. Red I believe is the Game Studio as the split up the company into a holdings company with CDPR and GoG underneath. Red might be a reference to Polands colors. The official register name of the company is really weird though. It's cdp.pl Sp. z.o.o.

 

[psychotron]

Looks good, now bring on the game!

 

[flyinpiranha]

What's the bird reference?

Cool game logo.

 

[Teleporter]

woodpecker

i dig this

 

[3bdelilah]

Two things.

1) This TW3 logo looks better
2) despite that, I think they should've sticked with the old logo. I mean, and I'm probably just splitting hairs, they're not being consistent since TW2 didn't have Roman numerals.

 

[MasterLeePhD]

Really like both logos. I especially like CD projects new one. Absolutely hated their old design, as it reminded me of some 90s dodgy software for Windows.

 

[inm8num2]

CDPR sure is looking good...

 

[LiK]

Oh man, the transparency makes this illegible with the Dark Theme.

 

[Sickboy007]

Read the OP, they even mention who is the wearer of the helm.

I read it, still looks like it ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Triggerhappytel]

The III is stylised to look like a mask, yes?

I realise that's the look they were going for, but it looks more like three claws to me. Kind of looks like the text has been slashed as well, which I assumed was a continuation of the old Witcher 3 logo.

Makes sense, I suppose. tbh if I was them I'd just change it to "Projekt Red" which sounds infinitely better.

 

[Philippo]

TW3 new logo is just the icing on the most awaited cake

 

[∀ Narayan]

For once, a logo update that doesn't suck.

Seriously, those logos look great.

 

[red731]

It looks like VERY surprised Sauron from LotR. Heh.

I like them!

ed: Them logos look really good on neojeff dark theme because .png

 

[RoboPlato]

I really love that studio logo. Unique and memorable.

 

[eXistor]

A logo update I actually like? What is the world coming to?

 

[NingenJanai]

The III is stylised to look like a mask, yes?

Wild hunt head?

 

[rObit]

The bird looks a bit awkward. Give him robot legs since you are making that Cyberpunk game eventually.

 

[Brazil]

I like them both. The bird looks awesome.

 

[Revson]

I like them both, especially the Witcher 3 logo.

 

[molnizzle]

Roman numerals suit The Witcher. Now things are as they should have been.

The Witcher III. Has a nice ring to it.

 

[Vidpixel]

I actually think they both look pretty good for the most part, but I do not care much for the amount of cracks and spiked edges in "The Witcher III" font. I really like the subtle image of the mask in the "III" though.

Actualy CD in the company name doesn't originate from Compact Disk but it's an abbreviation of Centrum Dystrybucyjne (Distribution Centre).

CD Projekt founders Kicinski and Iwinski started with small booth at computer market in Warsaw - in early 90s that was the place to go to buy pirated everything. They were one one of the first to try more "civilised" way of doing things, with importing original games, marketing and localizing them. Over the years, as they grew, main focus of the company was distribution of games, movies etc, and they still are doing it in Poland (now focused more on digital, and rebranded as cdp.pl). CDP RED was more like thing on the side, they basically acquired Witcher license and then had to do "something" with it.

Pretty funny, that eventually, CDPR with Witcher 2 (ok, GOG success helped a lot too) ended up saving whole company from bankruptcy at some point in time. I think people outside Poland really don't understand, how rough was the company's situation between first two Witchers.

 

[la_briola]

I like them.

Using a stylized roman numeral 3 as part of a game logo has a proud history.

Quakers unite!

 

[SolidsnackooFoxhound]

Why did they choose a cardinal for their logo? Do they even have cardinals in Poland?

Yeah, this was well explained in this presentation:

As well as this fantastic article on EG:

Why not read OP?

 

[Philippo]

Game delayed to 2015 because all the studio was working on the new logo.

 

[Marvel]

Love the Witcher 3's new logo, not sure about the bird.

 

[HeelPower]

Here's the new logo :

What seems a like slightly different Geralt design, at least in terms of hairstyle :

Here's old Geralt and Logo for quick comparison :

Shinobi me if old.

 

[xxracerxx]

Never played the previous but I want this when I get a new console.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

I see CDPRed still hasn't ditched that sharpening filter fetish

 

[Betty]

Never played the previous but I want this when I get a new console.

Likewise, the scale and beauty alone has me intrigued.

 

[Shiokazu]

;-; i hope it runs on my computer.

 

[epmode]

sharpening filter

Oh god, I hope that's an option this time around.

 

[Human_me]

What was the old logo like?

 

[Dinjooh]

I see CDPRed still hasn't ditched that sharpening filter fetish

More is more!

 

[Ciastek3214]

On my Facebook feed cdp.pl posted the Geralt's face and commented "Geralt is getting ready for E3".

So yeah, gameplay footage on E3 100% confirmed.

 

[HeelPower]

Just marathoned 1 and 2 over the past week or so, beat the second one tonight actually, and I'm really excited for this game. I can't wait to actually hop on a horse to get to where I'm going.
