Incredibly mediocre graphic design. Wonder how much they paid for that lol they got robbed. Unless they were helping out a friend which could be the case.
Not terrible but his old branding was definitely a lot better, but I skew towards bolder font and graphics.
This seems immensely better.
Even the best graphic designers are left to the whims of the people paying them.
Whoever created this probably had better ideas for the redesign but at the end of the day, the decisions lie with the person that is paying.
I was going to post the same thing then I feared it could be considered thread whining. Happy it came from a mod now. XD
Anyway,.A dude who earns millions of dollars changes a logo. A life changing info for all of gamers.
The merch isn't too bad I guess.

And this is why the branding works.
Looks solid on merch and you can bet Ninja makes absolutely shitloads on his merch.
Looks less gamer cringe on shirts than his old fake katakana esque thing anyway
His audience is clearly getting older and he's changing up his brand to keep up with that.

The logo is fine, the typeface is utterly confusing. Why are some letters bold?
Hair part is decent, the lettering? Ugh. Why is the I and J bold?

god it really is ugly, like, unusually ugly.
Maybe that's the point. I mean the fact that it got us all talking about it.. so maybe its working?
edit: also looking at the merch, I guess it works…. I still hate it lol
Very true. My partner is in graphic design and the clients are always making the wrong choices.
His old branding was so good. I've never watched his streams but the graphic package he had around 2 years ago was incredibly clean and solid.Not terrible but his old branding was definitely a lot better, but I skew towards bolder font and graphics.
The thin font and lines just don't do it for me, but it stands out since there had been a lot of streamers who had been adopting the previous style that he was using.
The font is terrible. Logo is whatever. Actually the old logo is way better.
League much better than the new logo.Not terrible but his old branding was definitely a lot better, but I skew towards bolder font and graphics.

Yeah, wasn't thinking of the idea of big streamers having branding like that. I've probably seen the old logo but never paid attention to it.
For the people asking why there is a thread for this. I think the answer is because Ninja is a little shit and his new logo is awful, which gives us a reason to get a kick in. I'm always happy to dunk on a self-centered millionaire. I'm happy his new logo is incredibly stupid. It looks like utter garbage.
I am in the middle of carrying a league of legends game about to close it out, and my bra-less graphic designer brings me a logo (not asked for) with new font as I get a double kill bot lane.
So how is your day going?

That someone took the time to design and make that pompous ass video is just... an affront to life itself.

Yeah I assumed this was some kind of hate symbol imagery, intentional or not.
