New WWE logo for the Network

If Adidas were called outdated, out of touch and their business had been on the downturn since 2001, I'm sure they'd have changed their logo a few times as well. WWE is essentially a TV show. They aren't Coca Cola. If they feel that a logo change could freshen up the promotions image, then its a good idea. It worked in 1997. They changed the direction, and what came with that was a change in opening music, arena set up, the colour of the promotion and the alround feel of the show. The wrestling business goes in cycles and constantly needs change. Sometimes a new logo is good. Adidas dont release the same logo on the same pair of trainers every year. There are colour changes, pattern changes, size changes. Same with Coke.

 

Yeah and that happens, WWE change event logos, TV logos, setups and names etc, they do freshen things up. Maybe Adidas was a bad example, i was just trying to pick out examples of companies I couldnt remember changing their core day-to-day logo in a long time. Theres a lot of problems with changing logos, just look at GAP and Pepsi of examples of things not always working out but generally successful brands dont change their basic logo, its what they are known for and is their main calling card.

I think it's slightly better than the OP version. Less spikey shit, but the red thing is ghastly. I guess if they had the same but flat at all points, it would look quite boring thinking about it. Need something with a bit more oompf...

A few new ideas they've been throwing out there for the network...

 

New Show Concepts

 

-- "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and a beer expert visit a different local brewery, pub, or beer fest each week in a different U.S. city.

 

-- A show based on the real lives of Big Show and his wife, Bess. Included will be footage from "Show Cam" documenting their home & travel life on Big Show's tour bus.

 

-- Mick Foley tours U.S. adventure parks in search of the ultimate roller coaster ride.

 

-- A show that follows WWE's Road Crews as they travel from town to town for weekly TV. WWE described it as "akin to Ice Road Truckers or Deadliest Catch."

 

-- The exact opposite of "Biggest Loser" - WWE stars help a "skinny" male put on muscle mass to appeal to his dream girl.

 

-- A show that sounds like "Tough Enough" or MTV/CMT's "MADE" reads: "Die-hard, middle-aged fans live out their childhood dreams of becoming a WWE Superstar by training in the ring, learning how to talk on the microphone, and getting 'slammed' by their childhood hero."

 

-- Superstars & Divas show select fans how to perform their work-outs to stay in shape for WWE.

 

-- WWE fans compete in an Amazing Race-type competition show to win tickets to WrestleMania. The course will be limited to U.S.

 

-- Six Divas profiled in a "behind-the-scenes look" into their lives, work, and partying as they travel together on a tour bus. The interactive aspect is the bus's "live 24/7 webcam."

 

-- An HBO 24/7-style show documenting developmental wrestlers as they "work, train, and struggle" their way onto the main roster.

 

Using WWE's Tape Library

 

-- Viewers vote on which classic WWE moment or match they would like to see. The show would be hosted in WWE's HD Studio.

 

-- A show that documents classic "romantic relationships" in WWE history - Savage & Liz, Hunter & Stephanie, Edge & Lita, and "Mr. McMahon’s multiple conquests."

 

-- The Oddest WWE Superstars profiled, ranging from George “The Animal Steel” to Goldust to Mankind to The Brood.

 

-- A 10-part series on WWE's "most hilarious scenes, commentary, and bloopers." Examples referenced include DX skits, Rock's interviews, and Edge & Christian top moments.

 

-- OMG Moments hosted by Mick Foley documenting "death-defying falls" including Foley off the HIAC, Hardy off a 12-foot ladder, and Shane McMahon falling off the Titantron.

 

-- Classic matches from NWA, AWA, WCW, WWE, Smoky Mountain, Georgia Championship Wrestling, and more territories in a "modern day presentation." WWE would show matches featuring Bruno Sammartino, Bobo Brazil, and Bob Backlund with "enhanced with onscreen factoids and interactive interviews."

 

-- A show that revisits "water cooler" incidents such as McMahon's limo explosion to document what led to the events and would include interviews with the involved parties.

A wrestling "Pop Up Video" sounds amazing. I'd love that.

Water cooler moments? They obviously haven't tried to jaw wrestling into conversation next to the water cooler at work. A true wrestling water cooler moment involves replies such as "you dont watch that shite do you?" and "you watch that fucking gay wrestling?"

That sounds fucking brilliant. I'd love to see that.
