ITW 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) It reminds me of a slot machine or videogame. It's very tacky, but if it means new album, I'll take it. My guess is that this new logo is probably something that DJ Ashba designed. Edited March 23, 2012 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Don't like it nearly as much as the one on the CD cover. The logo on the bottom of the 'Chinese Worker' shirt was pretty awesome too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wicked Hand Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 It makes me think Axl is returning to a more classic GNR sound.New logo , new direction.Just my interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cineater Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Very feminine and the G looks like it has an extended Elvis hairdo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One.In.A.Million Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 To be honest it's not my favourite logo by any means, looks very standard and could be any bands logo in that font. I also think it's a definite change in direction in terms of the Chinese Democracy era, and I think Axl is going for a classic rock direction. This logo reminds of a band like Thin Lizzy, and I much prefer the over the top, mystical logos of 2001-02-06-07.I don't think this logo has any danger to it, like the previous one, it seems MUCH more calmed down.Just my view, but yes I agree......if it means a nod into the direction of a new album, I'll take it.

Chewbacca Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Well, since they're not using chinese stilished letters anymore, I would guess that this means CD is something from the past now and we're moving on. Good news? Considering that those letters look like a vintage band logo, I take that Gn'R want to relate themselves to more traditional rock this time. Perhaps, to prepare ground for a new straight forward rock album... aw, man... I wish Gn'R would keep their experimental side from CD. I don't want a straight forward classic rock album Of course, I've seen this kind of letter on ethereal/ dark albums/ bands (Jar Of Flies by Alice In Chains). I would love an album like that Edited March 23, 2012 by Chewbacca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnicky Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Very average. Looks like a font cyprus hill would use, or something you'd see written on a wall in compton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
