Chimes
I remember when I first got my SNES, I used to hate how long it took some games to get through the logo screens, copyrights, etc when starting the game. However I used to never get tired of the Giant Konami logo, with the classic "chimes" (i.e Super Castlevania 4) It will be greatly missed.
I'd love to see the man hours and cost that when into this revolutionary new symbol.
"I dont like it. It stinks!"
Worst. Re-vamp. Ever.
Looks more like a Generic-Brand-Tylenol logo.
Which, with all the headaches it's causing, is pretty appropriate.
Selling collection, Atari through XBox. Send a PM with whatever games you're looking for.
The saying "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" seems strikingly appropriate.
I just hafta ask why? The old logo didn't look dated and had a very clean, classic look to it.
Ahh whatever.
Too many guys in suits + 6 or 7 figure salaries per suit + justification for their existence/pay = crappy new logo.Originally Posted by Captain Wrong

The original logo from the early 80s was so nice... I have lots of MSX games with it.

I am all for modernizing outdated logos (within reason), but a 5 year old who could spell Konami could have come up with that one.
Great to deal with: Leonk, AdamG, Cheesystick, DigitalPress, ButtaSuperb, Hydr0x, Darth Vader, Gary Gnu, Portnoyd, NexWave, Postermen, Kaine23, ARCZero, kai123, Buyatari, Minilek, DREW, bighab, AlanD, Flack
Ewww my 9 year old cousin can draw up a more innovative logo! , how BLAND!
I'm sad that Konami ditched their logo like that. The flag logo is one of my favorite company logos. Can't believe they ditched a classic logo in favor of that ugly as crap one.
is it just me, or are a lot of even non video game companies constantly changing their logos? BK for example! i ejoyed looking at the cool old school BK in the burger, but now its all "futuristic"!
Somebody once told me to get a life.
I told them I sold it for money to buy video games.
In an effort to mark the company's 30th anniversary on March 19, Konami Corporation announced this morning that it would be changing its classic double-lined logo. Meant to symbolize the expansion of Konami's business field and its scheduled shift towards becoming a holding company, the new logo will take effect on April 1.

Conform. Consume. Obey.
I must say, that while this logo is rather bland the old one wasn';t much more "video game" related... two squiggles... but then, few companys logos match their product...
However for such a well known to company to change there logo... why?
I mean squiggles don't mean much, but after seeing it for so long we know it means konami...
Same as pepsi.. don't think much of a picture that looks like a squished rubber ball, but I know it means Pepsi... why change it?

What I don't understand is that, if Konami revamped their logo for the company's 30th anniversary, then why not do a variation on either the flag logo or on the older logo (the word konami with an upward extra leg on the K). That would've made more sense than the "we are a corporate business" logo, which should be used only for stationary and the like, not for videogame releases.
