"DON'T NOD" turns 14 : new logo,new website,and some little teasers ?

[Hadok]

"DON'T NOD (previously known as DONTNOD Entertainment) is celebrating our 14th year of creating meaningful narrative games. The company has evolved consistently since the beginning, and so we've undergone a visual rebranding as part of our evolution to better reflect who we are as a company today.

""The company has undergone lots of huge changes in recent years, namely the addition of our Montreal studio and our expansion into games publishing, which brings us to around 320 talents in France and Montreal that benefit from our innovative FROG (Fully Remote Organization) scheme. Dontnodians are all working in several human-sized teams and on six exciting upcoming internal projects! We self-publish most of our games, as well as those of other developers, by offering our support in bringing their creations to


the video shows 7 variations of the new logo...so it's probably related to 7 new games.(6 self published)

"

And it looks like the videotape is related to the new project made by the LiS team at Dontnod Montreal ?

I just realized what Dontnod means. I don't know how I didn't get it before.

Same here, I'm going through an existential crisis now.

 

[julmirakel]

Now that's a great logo.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

In for complaints about the logo, and nostalgia for 3DRealms's old logo

Wait, what does it mean other than not nodding

 

[AgeEighty]

B-but now it's not a clean palindrome.

 

[PucePikmin]

Kind of a weird awkward rebranding? Having an apostrophe in your name just seems... strange. I also don't like the logo that puts Don't and Nod on different lines.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

Happy 14th Birthday !!

I can't wait to see what's next from them.

 

[Hadok]

B-but now it's not a clean palindrome.

Click to shrink...

yeah the palindrome is ruined now :'(

 

[benzopil]

That's how you ruin your brand

[Khanimus]

It's really terrible, why did they do it?

I'm having an existential crisis trying to figure out why you're having an existential crisis. What else does it mean???

 

[CrazyDude]

so what does don't nod mean?

Click to shrink...

The don't nod, I just never put it together because it was smashed together before.

 

[J 0 E]

Hope for the best for them but alas they ruined the palindrome.

 

[AudioEppa]

Dope logo. One of my favorite narrative focused game studios. Hopefully their feature output continues delivering what I love to experience.

I would like to request how you pronounced their name prior to this revelation

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

I was always a bit unclear on whether it really was just "Do Not Nod" or if there was some other meaning to the word DONTNOD. I guess I have an unambiguous answer now.

 

[Helix]

don't nod dontnod

I would like to request how you pronounced their name prior to this revelation

I don't think I ever tried to. Lol

 

[kurahador]

I'm I the only one who see "Don't Do It" here?

 

[Dice]

yeah the palindrome is ruined now :'(

B-but now it's not a clean palindrome.

Legibility >>>>>

The fact people didn't know what it was before this is indeed a problem

 

[D O T]

rip DONTNOD

Is it? I feel like when it comes to a corporate brand, recognizability >>>>> meaning. It's not like some critical truth about the company and what they produce was hanging in the balance of knowing "DONTNOD" comes from "DON'T NOD". It's just a name, one that isn't innately game studio-like.

 

[MarcelloF]

It's definitely a nicer logo than their old one.

 

[Blizz]

Had no idea it was supposed to be Don't Nod lol.

 

[Hadok]

hmmmmm

 

[nihilence]

It's fine. No strong feelings either way.

Click to shrink...

Same. I assumed it was just Don't Nod, but was always unsure if there was more.

But, guess not.

I'll take sci-fi 👀

[Wolf]

Cool new logo, very bioware-esque branding... but none of those teasers feel like they'd belong in a Remember Me sequel, so consider my hopes and dreams from them squashed :(

 

[Lowrys]

That's a great logo.

 

[Dandy]

I really don't care what their logo is... I'm just excited to see what they are working on!

they don't own the IP.

 

[Hexa]

The new logo is nice but I'm not a fan of the name change.

 

[Lukar]

It'll always be a palindrome in my heart. :^(

 

[klauskpm]

I like the new logo. Their usage remembers me what Sony Santa Monica Studio is doing. I like em both.

 

[Acquiescence]

That's one way to dissociate yourself from Twin Mirror.

 

[Fraktur]

no vampyr 2 teaser...

 

[gig]

The new logo is nice but I'm not a fan of the name change.

Click to shrink...

I mean it's not really a name change. The name is same, it's just styled differently

 

[Deleted member 81119]

People here really can complain about anything 😂

 

[Hadok]

 

[Hadok]

 

[julia crawford]

wow i always though it meant Don T. Nod

 

[Zomba13]

I really like the new logo but it ruins the clean palindrome they had before and that was honestly one of the more unique things about their name/logo that stood out to me over others. At least the logo actually looks nice for a change, thought I guess outside the palindrome I never looked at or cared about their logo, just how their name was stylised.

Ayy, I just subbed to nina yesterday on twitch, always happy to see what she's working on now. Cant wait!

 

[peixe2]
