No...just no.

 

[Guzim]

Needs more McGriddle.

 

[human5892]

Now you have to type it as iGN.

 

[Joe]

the logo is fine.

in before 2 pages of hate.

 

[SyNapSe]

I don't like it, but what did the old logo look like.

 

[gofreak]

It's alright. Better than the old one, i think.

 

[Scoobert]

[Laurent]

The fact that the old logo sucked is not an excuse to replace it with something as hideous as this...

 

[Hournda]

Who cares people.

 

[aoi tsuki]

Geez, what's wrong with it? Looks fine to me. Reminds me slightly of Next Generation's website logo.

 

[Makura]

It's more professional and corporate than their previous one. Based on the direction they're going in, it was the best thing for IGN to do I think.

 

[Littleberu]

Huh. It's mighty fine.

 

[belgurdo]

That logo looks fine. Or are people just complaining because it's IGN?

It's certainly possible. I personally have no problem with iGN, though, and I find that logo to be pretty bad as far as logos go.

The colors... Red and black always looks weird. The line after "ENTERTAINMENT" isn't logic; they add it to balance it with the red dot, but they should have done something with it (an arrow for example).

I like the letters being bold, caps and close to each other. Italic is getting standards nowadays (Microsoft, Burger King, etc).

Maybe hideous was a little strong on my part... But they could have added a modified version of their arrowcross, the logo looks empty. Although it NEEDED to change (or go)...

I don't think they will refer to themselves as iGN because of their logo. Everyone wrote IGN even thought their old logo was in small letters...

Heh, yeah, I don't think they will either. It was really just a joke to illustrate that the random lowercase letter irritates me.

 

[aoi tsuki]

i think the red dot of the i is used to enforce that the i is indeed lowercase. A lowercase i, to indicate "internet", "iPod", "i-whatever". Kind of the further procession of their old taglines "We are i" and "For those of the i generation" (or something like that). i agree on the red line. i think it would've been better to just leave it out completely, and maybe balance "iGN" out by right-aligning "entertainment".

 

[Escape Goat]

I hate when people say "I could do better" but in this instance I think I really could do better job designing a logo.

"Internet" is a proper noun...

 

[Laurent]

"Internet" is a proper noun...

Not if you ask Wired magazine...

 

[LinesInTheSand]

I like it. Simple and professional.

 

[bishoptl]

Needs more McGriddle.

You and I are in agreement.

 

[mightynine]

Not that bad. I don't like the red stripe on the bottom, though.

 

[Manabanana]

e-mail to email? Newspeak is born!

And a side note - "iGNorance"

 

[Blackace]

"Internet" is a proper noun...

The Internet is a proper noun indeed... it is a name... and should be capped...

 

[carpal]

What the fuck? Red and black go great together. The logo is an improvement, but it's not great. Who cares either way though.

Then make one, post it here and we'll be the judge.

No, it doesn't go well together since 1919...

 

[human5892]

I agree. Do it.

 

[carpal]

Because people are really going to look at IGN's logo and associate it with the Nazi party?

Also, just look at how effective and impactful the that image is! Just another demonstration of how powerful red and black are when used together.

PPS: Let's not turn this into an argument about hatred and all that shit. Nazis can suck a dick, but they had smart logo design back in the day, just like they had effective propaganda. That's all.

don't be fucking stupid. that has nothing to do with why red and black don't go together. it has everything to do with you bringing up a completely unrelated negative connotation in order to support your opinion.

Of course it's completely unrelated. I am not saying otherwise... But the fact is that you should watch out for colors that might remind people those kind of things. It's a very basic marketing rule...

Fortunately, they seem to use the white IGN on grey background most of the time (which I like best)...

 

[HAOHMARU]

I lost my other IGN riot police photo when my webpage went down. Now we have one with the new logo incase the IGN admin crew decides to invade GA and opress us again.

 

[Guzim]

Red and black go great together.

Wolfpack in the house!

 

[Hitman]

That is one fug-ugly logo.
