Change in Disney's logo

BTW, Vi... the DisneyToon logo WAS 2D if you are talking about the one with Mickey drawing out the unit's name?

Right, I know it was 2d. That's what I was referring to. I guess I didn't write it clearly.

I think it will be Stitch taking a bite out of the castle. Or Mac's logo. Anyways, what Meg said is correct: the new one will become iconic in time, and it sounds like it's grounded in the old one.

I'm hoping it's not going to be like Pixar's version of the castle. I can't stand that one. I did, however, like the CG castle in front of Chicken Little. It had so much more detail and it kept to the spirit of the original.

Although I do think the style should change from time to time, I think it should always involve the castle and some type of arch going around it. Other than that, I'd have to wait until I see it to comment on it.

I'm the opposite, Mike...I never had a problem with Pixar's one but wasn't satisfied with CL's logo.

I agree with Meg and PV regarding Pixar vs CL

Stitch taking a bite out of the logo each movie would make me happy every time I saw it.

I don't like Stitch at all, so I'd die if they did something like that.

They should have Stitch fly in as Incrediboy. ^o^ Actually, Syndrome would fit him better, but I haven't drawn that yet. I included something close to that though. =P

(I drew this for Halloween last year)

How can you not like Stitch

Do you hate BREATHING TOO?

Post by **Meg** » May 7th, 2006, 9:06 pm

Yes, I do, actually.

I like to breathe. I try to do it often.

That wasn't done by circle seven. That was done by WDFA. It was a "Chicken Little version" of the castle logo.

It's been a tradition of WDFA films recently that the castle logo gets a treatment in the style of the film. Home on the Range had the castle logo get branded. Atlantis had an underwater and rusty treatment, etc.

The Chicken little castle looks like a birdhouse.

BTW, remember Warner Bros famous shield logo? They didn't use it all through the 70s, instead going for their Warner Communications "broken W" look. Now that they have the shield back, they've replaced the W on the 70s films for the shield. But I don't see that as being "significant"...?

You folks are too young to remember the Paramount logo before you flew around a miniature mountain. It used to be just a flat graphic.

And folks old enough to remember the original star wars can recall the 20th century fox logo before you flew around it in glorious cg.

And the Warner shield never used to zoom out of a reflection of the warner studios and fly in in 3-D.

Studios create new animations of their logos sometimes.

Bit presumptuous to guess our ages!

I remember the original logos of all of the above - and have obviously seen logos from before those times too, thanks to print restorations, television and DVD.

The Paramount logo, before the flat Gulf & Western times, was actually 3D - it was a model that used to spin around very slowly. Hardly used, but I've seen that film grace a few early color movies from them.

Yeah, I was going to ask where that Circle 7 thing came from, Vi? C7 had nothing to do with CL...!?!?

Yeah, I saw Star Wars three times in the theater in 1977.
