You have more than likely noticed that the ROBLOX logo has been changed to a new, unique design. Except, it isn't new and unique. What it actually is is just a simple square-style O slanted at about a forty five degree angle, something like that.
Unfortunately, this is hardly iconic at all. The original ROBLOX logo had that R that really stood out, with the unique typography. The majority of the logo modifications did not interfere with the general vibe to the logo, it really did stay the same for several years.
Now, it has less of a ROBLOX feel and more of a trying-to-be-modern feel. Most people who have at least grasped the simple concept of free programs such as paintDOTnet (not sure if I'd get content deleted for including a website in here) would probably be able to replicate this.
The new logo just doesn't really represent anything. It's just a slanted O for the icon, and the logo just feels too generic. I know a logo isn't really that important, but if you really want to succeed in marketing, you should probably alter your changes.
Many people have posted things similiar to this and I haven't read most of them, but that's what I think.
Please excuse any typos, by the way. |

| I disagree. The logo is the face of any company or organization. So it's pretty important. By making the logo more generic and simple, it'll become more easily identifiable. It's an artist and marketing ploy after all. Lots of major companies and organizations are switching over to more simple logos. |

Sorry but telling a major company that "If really want to succeed in marketing , you should probably alter your chances" broke me.
First of all, many companies now are striving for more simplistic and modern look. Although the "iconic" feeling is destroyed, a new feeling is similarly born. The feeling in which ROBLOX is advancing. It was celebrating 1 million concurrent players 4 days ago.
New start, to hopefully a good year is signified by a new design. Although you may say it's bad, and moves away from the "Old Roblox feeling" but that was the exact idea. Many new people are registering on ROBLOX each day and having a simplistic logo they can easily memorise is all part of the plan.
Look up history of different companies logo's.
Lego throughout the years got more and more simpler. So did windows, so did Starbucks. I have so much examples.

| Indeed, if the logo was more simple and generic, it would be more identifiable. A prime example would be the company Apple's logo. It's really iconic. On the other hand, ROBLOX's is just a letter, and it's pretty bland. If it's just a letter, then there could be confusion between other companies. |

So are other companies logos? It's called being easily identified.
For example, whenever I think of an apple, I think about the company and it's products.
Whenever I see a window, I think about windows,
ROBLOX is trying to implement the same ideology but with a square.

| I don't care if the logo changes. I think the new toys idea is actually pretty cool now that there's a Dusekkar Sword, and a Golden Package. |

"By making the logo more generic and simple, it'll become more easily identifiable."

Simplicity is what most GFX designers cherish.
Anyway, what did you expect? A Picasso painting?

Oh right, so Youtube's icon that is so simple and bold is not easily identifiable?
Twitter with the bird, simple and bold.
Please support your argument if you're going to argue against it.

| If roblox doesn't change their logo I will be making a site exactly the same but just removing the logo. Maybe I should have some, ####### have none. |

I would support this but everyone is replying so I have to change the topic to what's relevant.
The thing is, those are just objects. Roblox's icon is literally just an O. They aren't the same thing. |

Youtube has the name youtube in it Twitter sounds like tweet aka birds
Roblox is is a game for building, playing, trading, and wild imagination
not a cheezit commercial the square just seems out of place

| This is showing that Oblox-I mean, Roblox, is moving towards simplicity in all areas of the site. I shudder to think about what that means for game development. |
