New Season, Professional Season, New Logo? Pro Logo?
Here's the current logo:
And here's a more professional looking one I made with Motel King and Word 2010 Beta in 20 seconds:
What do people think? I think if Season 3 is going to be epic it could work.

So it's changing? Colour too?
It changed for Season Two to a flat, unshaded yellow-greenish color. The actual typography isn't going to change, but the treatment always does.
Why? Everyone loves shine! You can just give us a lens flare for a logo and we'll most likely buy it anyway. Why the extra work?
Besides the fact we're already coming up with logos even though we know absolutely nothing about the game?
For the record I like the black version of the logo.
Let's suppose it is "modern", and an "epic" story should feature a modern-style logo. Let's forget that most epics take place in the time of Romans and Greeks.
The problem with these assumptions, other than that they're somewhat suspect on their own, is that Sam and Max aren't modern. Look at their office. Look at their phone. Look at Sam's clothing. They're cartoons in detective noir skin, in a world of cartoony exaggerations. Modern is not the way to go.
But yeah, when did "shiny, modern" ever have anything to do with Sam and Max? It's a comic that regularly features rats and 'roaches.
'Nuff said.
...what? Didnt Sam-with-a-'tash look english to you?
Our Noir, but I wonder what the new color will be...hmmmmm...
EDIT: Nvm, it's just half grey and half black. First logo wins. I didn't really pay attention when I first looked at it.
Haha. When you put it that way, it does sound foolish, and it probably is. I mean that we don't really have "modern" epics. The closest I can think of is "Star Wars", and that is basically a samurai/medieval knight story dressed in a sci-fi skin, with some WWII airplane fighter combat tossed in for good measure.
And on top of that, the point was mostly ancillary to my main argument anyway.
Maybe we should throw some dirt and grime onto the logo, then?
The glossy "wow that piece of consumer electronics sucks the oil off my fingers from across the room and gets smudged two seconds after getting pulled out of the box" shine doesn't work for Noir. We'd need more of a grainy shadow, rather than a glossy shine. And because they're bright cartoon Noir rather than Noir, black and white probably won't work, they're too bright and colorful.
Kidnapped could be considered a "modern" epic in that it's a long story loosely based on real people where a lot of stuff happens, but most of it's pretty unimportant in the long run and it's better heard aloud then read. Plus I find it boring, definite sign of an epic!
And old paper cups, yes, yes.
I never said modern.
Shh now.
Sam & Max are NOT Web 2.0. Get a grip.
Oh wait... you made it in 20 seconds? In that case, of course it's more professional. I imagine you would normal charge about £500,000 for that level of branding work. I stand corrected, how fantastic you are able to do Telltale's job for them.
But star Wars takes place even BEFORE all those other things that were named! It's not modern at all.
Oh, wait, did you mean "modern" as in "it was made in modern times"? Because if that's what you meant, Star Wars isn't modern, it's contemporary. Something like the Three Musketeers would be modern.
But I digress.
Definitely got to be lemonade for chillin'. But hot cocoa is perfect for getting warm and snuggly.
ugh... lemonade is horrible... give me a nice coke and whiskey... though on codl days hot coacoa *is* good...
I like lemonade... wait do you mean American lemonade that's the staple income of suburban kids everywhere, made with real lemons and sugar? Or UK lemonade, made mostly from artificial flavours, preservatives... and sugar?
The one with Red Dye #2 and battery acid.
Lemonade is awesome though, easy to make and it's taste is ogod awesome.
That's right, if there isn't even a small chance of getting some form of cancer, it's not lemonade.
I've never made or tasted home made lemonade, so I'll have to take your word for it.
The less sugar you put in it, the more refreshing it is. In my opinion.
Cocoa is tasty too, especially with almond milk. Although oats milk goes well with it too, it's like liquid mudpies.
As for Sam & Max, I was a big fan of the version back on the Season 1 website, with the wood panel background and the sort of badge-shaped line art around it. At least I think it was on the Season 1 website.
