CN new logo?

[CartoonNothing]

I'm not liking this logo at all, it's so....bland. I like the logo as it is now, it fits the network just fine and looks really good so I really don't know why Cartoon Network would want to change it aside from a full rebranding or something, but even if thats the case then why go for something so generic looking? Blah, the logo is definitly fine as it is now.

Agreed.

 

[Silverstar]

While I don't think these modifications are necessary, since it's not all that different from the previous logo overall, if Toon decided to go with this design, I could stand it, provided that they kept the black and white palettes on the 2 tiles opposite colors; having both tiles being white on black just looks monotonous.

That was for the upfront. Just like last year with a different logo? Nothing changed.

True. Last year, around this time, there were images of a new logo shown at the upfront, people got freaked out, and nothing changed.

That pretty much freaked me out when I first saw the image...

 

[ToonFaithful]

Yep. That's the logo I saw. It was also on one of the Tooncast videos.

I like it. At least it still has CARTOON in it. I think it's officially the new logo. It probably won't debut until this summer or fall.

We don't know that yet, so we shouldn't jump to conclusions. Everybody thought that the logo Rho was talking about was going to be the new logo also, and we saw how much that changed things over at CN.

In any case, it's just a logo. Channels update their logos from time to time. Nothing to get over excited about. If Toon were on the verge of changing it's format, now that would be newsworthy.

I would much prefer that logo with the people standing in front of it to the one that sparked this thread, the CN logo shows a few posts up from mine actually looks really cool and I wouldn't mind that as the networks logo if they really wanted to ditch the current one.

 

[Peter Paltridge]

This is the logo equivalent of Stephen Hawking's voice box.

HELLO. I AM A NETWORK. I AM THERE.

 

[Atoon]

I don't like that logo at the upfront very much though.

 

[WolfGran]

I don't like that logo at the upfront very much though.

I'd hardly doubt the execs would be included in the logo also, those self-indulgent lil' buggers.

 

[Master Toon]

I don't like that logo at the upfront very much though.

After cropping the picture, how come you didn't crop out the executives too?

 

[simpsonsfan]

I kind of like it. But I still prefer the one that was around for 12 years of course that's probably nostalgia talking though.

It's not just for the upfronts.

Remember that logo they used last year? They didn't trademark that one at all.

Remember that round logo that was recently unearthed but unused? They did trademark that logo, but they let the trademark lapse. Cartoon Network trademarked this one for "CABLE TELEVISION AND SATELLITE TELEVISION BROADCASTING SERVICES, STREAMING OF AUDIO, VIDEO AND AUDIO/VIDEO MATERIALS OVER THE INTERNET" and the same logo for the following goods and services:

- SOFT DRINKS; FRUIT JUICES, SELTZER WATER, DRINKING WATER

and (this one is kind of important):

- ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES, NAMELY, A MULTIMEDIA PROGRAM SERIES FEATURING COMEDY, ACTION AND ADVENTURE DISTRIBUTED VIA VARIOUS PLATFORMS ACROSS MULTIPLE FORMS OF TRANSMISSION MEDIA

If it was for a one-time use, why bother filing trademark applications for ALL of those services if any trademark applications at all? I think we're going to see the new logo later rather than sooner, which is why they didn't showcase it at the upfront event.

It's okay. It's a little too simple, almost deceptively simple, but it's an interesting, albeit familiar look. I'm just curious how they'll implement it on-air.

 

[BigMac]

Sorry guys but I'm kind of confused. So is this official? Will this be the new logo or will the current one stay?

By the way, in my opinion, that logo is very bland, simple. I prefer the current logo.

CN trademarked it, meaning they now own the logo and can use it at any time. Whether or not they will do so and when is just a matter of waiting, for now.

Truth be told, nobody around here really knows what's up.

This we do know:

- In late March 2010, Cartoon Network applied for 15 individual trademark applications for a new Cartoon Network logo.

- Several of the trademarks are for on-air and online presentations as well as portable media.

And THAT'S ALL WE KNOW!

It is an official documentation of the network actually applying the new logos for trademark registration, so it is legit. As for what that means, no one really knows, but it would seem that the logo will likely change pretty soon. The logo hasn't been completely approved yet, and that could take a while, which explains why they didn't present it at the upfront. So, it's coming later rather than sooner.

I don't know about you guys, but this is kind of exciting to (most likely) be getting a new logo. Maybe once it get approved, we'll finally see that full rebrand, which I'm guessing will be cartoon related in some way (since Snyder himself admitted that animation will always remain as the core of the network).

I have a feeling CN'S going to rebrand this Fall. But that's just me, I don't want to start any rumors.

 

[Silverstar]

When a TV network rebrands, we usually don't know when it's going to happen until it happens. When we turn on Cartoon Network and notice a different logo and bumpers, then we'll know.

I think people tend to obsess over bumps, logos and packaging just a little, honestly. Cosmetic changes like that aren't really that important at the end of the day.
