Old- View attachment 46461 New - View attachment 46462 I personally quite like the new one's simplicity.
I personally prefer gradient designs over flat, but seeing as everything is going flat these days it will be more cohesive with other software. I think it was ultimately a good decision.
I didnt' notice. but I always figured gradients are something you grow out of once you're 7 years of age and stop using microsoft word to print out flimsy birthday cards in comic sans rainbows. Its a move in the right direction
2nd one with black text is the best. Or the 4th with 5th ones text Oh shit, whatever, they all are awesome!
I quite liked the old one but the new one a little less. While I usually prefer flat designs I feel that the new one lacks interest. The font of the text next to it looks a bit odd next to the logo in my opinion. I think it's because the text and logo have a different line thickness. The text looks nice though so I think it's the logo that I am a big less fond of. Probably just me though and I can't currently think of a better way to do it. I will likely give it some thought though.
I don't really have an issue with either but I guess if you want my opinion then I would have the old logo with the new text. I do get funny looks when I tell people about BeamNG though. They have no idea what I'm on about when I give them the name. One of my friends said whats is it about, teleporting black guys or something? I wet my pants as I hadn't seen it like that before.
Well crap, I was avoiding giving a shit about this topic but I'm bored. I like the new tougher and bolder looking font and jammin', I too have that same issue. Deer in headlights when I say "BeamNG". They don't even know what to say and the discussion then falls into an awkward silence. Good thing I have screenies on my phone to re-rail the discussion.
Actually i have to say that rage's designs pretty much made me sidereal what my issue is. The logo needs to be larger than it currently is with very slightly thinner than current beams to connect the nodes. I think that might "fix" it in my eyes, but as with pretty much all design everyone else's opinion may be very very different to mine.
I like the new one. It just fits in better with the logos these days. I liked the old Windows and Apple logo but they both (Along with many other corporations) moved to a more 2-dimensional simplistic design. The old BeamNG logo made this website look like something out of 2005. I think it's an improvement.
Honestly, I'd be all for any of Rage's designs. The new logo is a little bit too fat for my tastes, but I'd certainly pick it over the only one. Though I doubt it would go too far, I think Rage's designs deserve their own thread just to get them out there. Opinions?
I love the windows 98 logo, but i think thats mainly due to nostalgia reasons as opposed to anything else. I am still using my keyboard from them meaning i have the old style windows keys.
