truthofsin Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I was just having a look at the Torch site and noticed the unofficial Money in the Bank PPV poster they have up.. If it does indeed turn out to be the real PPV poster, it's interesting to note it features a new logo in the top left hand coner.. Basically its an old WWF logo (80s) withe the 'F' part reworked into an 'E'.. Â I just figured its worth noting as i know that a lot of folks (me included) dont like the spinner belt and its unlikely they'd keep using it should this new logo turn out to be part of the 'rebranding' going on right now.. Â Thoughts? Â (id post the pic, but doing this via my phone so cant right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted April 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 11, 2011 I found this: http://pwtorch.com/artman2/uploads/3/mitb2011.jpg  If this is the one you're on about, then I really don't like that logo and don't like the poster either. I'm going to say I'm 75% sure this is a fake, otherwise WWE have got really lazy. Like, TNA-level lazy with PPV posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSJLogan Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 That logo looks so stupid that i can actually believe they could change it to that! the poster however looked ridiculous. Â Mysterio jumping out of an aeroplane with dollar bills everywhere? then again, thats stupid enough to be real as well. I just hope it isnt though. Â WWE really could do with getting a new WWE title though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to say I'm 75% sure this is a fake, otherwise WWE have got really lazy. Like, TNA-level lazy with PPV posters.  Im sure I've seen that fake WWE logo before...  Anyway, even if there was a redesign of the logo, its more likely they'd take the new logo and slap it onto the current belt. I'm afraid your grasping at straws here.  One thing that I do think is quite surreal is that we've had this "gimmicked" WWE title belt since WrestleMania 21... thats 6 years now! Much longer than most recent world title belts we've had in the last 15 odd years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldCobra Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 The spinner belt doesn't actually spin anymore, so there's no reason to get rid of it. Besides, it's now got the WWE logo upside down, which is Miz's "gimmick". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Invisible Boy Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yeah I'm pretty sure I've seen that logo before too a while back on a photoshop fake PPV poster. I'm sure that is a fake, the logo looks as though it might be slanted at an angle and looks like an obvious photoshopped old WWF logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhenom Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 That's the same fake logo that was rumored to be the new official WWE logo last year. I really wouldn't mind a new WWE title design now though, it has been 6 years and it still looks pretty stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 The changing of the belt will depend on how many of those replica spinner Cena belts are still shifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthofsin Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 The changing of the belt will depend on how many of those replica spinner Cena belts are still shifting. Â This is true, WWE is all about the merchandise revenue after all.. Looking at this from another angle it occurred to me that the spinnner belt is actually the one title that might not need changing during this 'rebranding' phase, as i believe it doesnt feature the word 'wrestling' on it anywhere, where as all the other titles do.. Â I must have missed the fake logo last year, so cheers for the pointer on that. Even if this logo proves to be a fake i still wouldnt be suprised at a new logo as part of this rebrand. Theyve been using the current logo since late 97 (or was it early 98?) and its about due an update. For the sake of ease im counting the 'scratch logo' in both its WWF and WWE forms as one logo. The logo was designed to be symbolic of the new attitude WWF was pushing back then and as the company is now pushing a different family friendly product it doesnt really fit with that..

Paid Members neil's bitch Posted April 11, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 11, 2011 Aparentlty they were working on having a new belt made at some point last year, in which there also planning on unifying the titles at Wrestlemania aparently. Â But that poster looks terrilbe though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They started phasing it in from October 1997 during those "Try lacing up my boots" videos, but it wasn't until about May 1998 when the New Generation logo had been replaced fully. I don't wan't them to change the logo anyway, the current one is plain, simple and recognizable like McDonalds, Nike etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 That fake poster is one of the worst fake posters I've ever seen. If it's real, I'll eat a full colour A3 printed version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
