    Whatever Happened to the Original UT Logo??

    I know I am on a rampage here (as are many others) trying to make sure that some of the vital lifeblood of UT99 doesn't get lost forever - this may be our last chance to make a stand on some of these important issues. This one isn't AS critical, but I just HAVE to know! What in the hell happened to the orginal logo? Did you notice the copyright restrictions on the "Circle U" logo when you fire up UT3? Well, the ORIGINAL logo WAS the CIRCLE and WAS the U...I thought it was ingenious - and I know for a fact that others did even more than me - HELL, they TATOOED it on their bodies! ...I've seen countless photos.

    Don't get me wrong, I am not saying the new one is bad, but comon...I sure as hell don't think it's up to par with the orginal! That was CLASSIC! ...why would something like that just get tossed in the woods? (Hmmm...I'm starting to see a pattern here that I don't like). The "III" in the new logo is nice, but the original U....THAT should be the center of attention IMO (amidst the full name of the game and the "III"). I was actually PROUD of that logo! (though I never tatooed it on my body )

    Fire up UT99 and you be the judge -- is it me?? ...am I the only one with a strong opinion on this...or do I need to get committed ASAP??

    P.S. If you think I'm too fixed on the past check this thread out LOL: http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=580785


    ***EDIT***

    Just to be clear, the poll is whether or not to keep the existing artwork, but replace the 'Circle U' in it with the original one and make it more pronounced - I DO love the 'III' in the new artwork, and all the color patterns, etc. for the record! (but it's also to help determine whether or not I am also a ******)

          err, new one's fine. Gotta be a real c*n7 not to buy a game based on the games logo. I'm sure, while Epic would have employed some talent bugg*r to design it, I'm sure they were focusing more on the actual game....

              Don't get too happy.... I'll be charging at least $20 per teabagging. I don't come cheap and my balls are precious. I need to make enough money to buy that new 8800.

              Edit: I'll teabag the ladies for free of course (I can't get enough of that, hahhahaha).

                3nvy changing the color of your font doesn't make you sound more important than any other post in this forum...

                all it does is hurt my eyes, please stop doing this.

                        Honestly I like the new one, and the new font.

                        I think I'll Tattoo the new one.

                          I think the fact that you could cut the original design out of a sheet of metal and actually have it as a plaque creates something infinitely more solid about it, instead of the ut2003, 4, and UT3 floating 'u' which seems to have no substance. The design of the U is nice, but the UT99 one seems more 'real'.
