    Default Uh... what is this thing?



    Ubi Soft's new logo is weird and creepy. It looks like an eye on a stalk, sneaking a peek through the porthole of a ship. I'm not a big fan of any logo that features a single eye... it always looks like the damned thing is spying on me.

    Eye on a stalk..? Oh wait, I see it now.

    When I first saw that picture, it looked more like a swirling drain. A drain is a most inauspicious choice for a company logo, I'd say.

    It reminds me of the Vortex in one of the Original Mortal Kombat backgrounds.

    Damnit, now that's all I can see. When I first looked at it, I saw semi-concentric circles, now all I can see is a damn eye on a stalk in a porthole.

    Remember how the lens opened and closed on the eye of "Number 5"?
    That's what I see.

    What was wrong with the old logo??? It was easily recognizable and certainly more elegant. I guess they wanted on that was more macho.

    On a side note, Konami's logo didn't need to be changed. Their red and orange symbol was instantly recognized by most gamers and their name was below it so the less initiated would know who it was.

    The first big wavey thingy is too big, there should be 4 of them instead of 2 and 1 elongated one.

    So this is great. Our little focus group sees

    a drain
    dead dog's head
    wierdass eye on a stalk which is intent on subjecting you to tentacle rape
    Xbox eject button (good vibes about Splinter Cell 2)

    and I see something which looks about right for the setting of Deus Ex 2. Not the happiest choice of colors, and the web-theme doesn't help the feeling either. Maybe they want you to start thinking about conspiracy, death, and being hopelessly lost?

    But yes, the tentacle eye is by far the easiest thing to see. For shame.

    That adds a disturbing new wrinkle to this discussion. I never said anything about the alien having its way with sexually blossoming Japanese schoolgirls.
    Oops, I think I just did. Watch out, Sailor Moon!

    P.S. Someone PLEASE explain the dead dog thing.
