mr3urious 6 years 7 months ago Posts: 3359	This is a continuation of Orliaurelijah's article on the logos of the past and how they've changed over the years. I'm covering some of the logos he left out. Xerox Old Such a simple, yet iconic logo. Why in the world did they have to change it into this...? New Baskin Robbins Old The pink and blue colors clash nicely, and the 31 has a nice classic look. New That "BR/31" combo looks pretty neat, but I'm not too fond of this logo overall. NBC Old (1956-1961) The original NBC peacock, which was used to represent color TV broadcasts. (1979-1986) This is my favorite of all the NBC logos used. It is a simplified version of the 11-feathered peacock combined with the futuristic N used between 75-79. They went with this after a lawsuit from the Nebraska ETV network due to the similarity in the logos. New (1986- ) An even more simplified version of the previous peacock with just six feathers representing NBC's six divisions. The peacock now looks to the right rather than the left.

mr3urious 6 years 7 months ago Posts: 3359	Here's a few more logo comparisons, done in the style seen on Orliaurelijah's article: Chevron The new one looks a little too busy. Konami Why did Konami have to get rid of the middle logo? Cool Whip The new one has the name written in whipped topping. Aflac The old one had a more "serious" look to it. CBC ("exploding pizzas" only) Ironically, the logo on the left looks more modern than the other two.

In my opinion, it was way better than the new Hardee's/Carl's logo. I like the Carl's smiley star, but it's not incorporated into the new logo very well. Old: New: Edit: Damn image tags...

They changed the Xerox logo? That's a god-damn sin.

shiroihikari 6 years 7 months ago Posts: 1751	There was an article like this, we were just discussing other logos that weren't discussed in the article. Anyway, I think the new Holiday Inn logo is a piece of crap. Here's a write-up about it by someone who feels differently, but it's still an interesting read. http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/funky_script_takes_eternal_hol.php Personally, I think the new one has no character. It's so generic, and uncreative. "Oooh, I know, let's put a giant H in a green box with lots of drop shadows and bevels and embosses!" Bleh.
