    I should have elaborated more on my distaste for minimalism. I dislike a very specific type of minimalism which is, the plain, one color, sans-serif, all caps font pasted on a background. Minimalism can be a very effective tool to use for specific franchises and stories. The new Doom logo has nothing to say to me other than "Hey, I'm a Doom game. Clearly I'm serious because I'm missing bits of my text which must symbolize that this game is raw and hardcore!" I just feel like they could have done more with it, which they are with Doom Eternal. I'm gonna talk more about this in a follow-up. I just didn't want to sit here and make one long, 2 hour video about modern, "minimalist" design.

    Great job on the video, man! I had one thought about the DOOM logo though: the old one was beautifully crafted as you mentioned, but one thing I'll give the new logo credit for is the way it POPS on marketing material by separating itself completely from the game's colorful artwork that features vibrant and deep reds and yellows. That's the only reason good reason I could find for them changing it, besides just being easier to print on merch and other marketing stuff..but man that old one is a masterpiece! EDIT: I just scrolled down after typing this comment and realized a bunch of people had the same thought! Good stuff..

    You know what bugs me the most about the Sonic Adventure logo? That they clearly used a different font initially, changed it, but didn't bother to change the textured background to match the new font. Notice how under the 'v' and 'n' and next to the 'c' there used to be more pointed accents that don't exist on the updated text.

    It feels like you don't really know what you are talking about. I worked at gaming sites in marketing departments for 6 years now, and I've created hundreds of banners, advertismends, brand integrations and specials for for tons of videogames and seen a lot of design guides and materials for them. Logo is not just about beauty, it's should be functional at first. It should be recognizable, to represent the game and it should work at many different formats. From small banner 250x250 pixels in size on a site, to huge billboards on a road, it should be instantly recognizable and readable. If you put old Doom logo on Playstation Store in a row with a bunch of other games people will just glance over it, becasue it bleeds into artwork. New logo however works even on Twitter avatar, because it's simple and clean. But you still recognize that it's Doom, becasue of it's shape. Same with The Crew or Far Cry 5 and The Last of Us (also you used secondary horizontal version of the logo in the video, main version of logo in three rows much more memorable and recognizable), but I can agree that A Way Out logo is too much on the edge of generic and bland. You can argue that designers can make detailed logos for big formats and simplified versions for smaller formats. Some games do that, but it muddies the overall image and there is always a possibily that someone down the line would use improper version of the logo. So in the end you can't judge logos by itself, it's always a matter how and where you would use it.

    I get where you're coming from with your opinions, but the New Super Mario Bros and all the minimalistic logos are more "I don't like this" rather than "this is bad". It might look uncreative, but minimalism is sometimes very tricky to get right, and when it is done right it can look very attractive. It certainly isn't some crazy rennaissance art, but's it's readable and actually very trendy with most of the current market.

    Phoenix Dawn minimalist design is about conveying the core of the message using the bare minimum, this doesn't mean that all logos are automatically soulless and bland. Granted, some logos like Battlefield V's are a bit bland, and through consistency they have managed to become recognizable. But I find other logos like DOOM 4's very good, because you can tell that it's doom just by looking at the font. And the lack of detail and the contrast of the white with the rest of the cover kinda sets the mood for the rest of the game. I much prefer Flat/Minimalist design to the Skeumorphism that defined the 2000's and early 2010's.

    To be honest, I actually really like the original Sonic Adventure logo. Sure, on the surface it seems pretty messy (especially with the unnecessary letter drop-shadows; that I’ll agree with you on), but upon further inspection and thinking about the game’s contents it actually does a fairly good job with representing what Sonic Adventure’s all about. Similar to the DOOM ‘93 logo, it told a story within its text, use of colours and scenery, mainly hinting about Chaos and the ancient Echidna Tribe civilisation.

    I remember my mom and I were at GameStop a few years ago looking for something to buy. New Super Mario Bros was pretty old at this point, but when my mom saw the game on the shelf, she saw the logo and said, “Look! It’s new! You want me to buy it?” I still find it funny to this day.

    I don't think it's fair to compare wacky 90s logos of Mario and Sonic to the contemporary logos of Until Dawn and The Last of Us. These are completely different sides of the video game world. I would argue to most important aspect of a logo is to match tone, and - while they might seem dumbed down in comparison to Final Fantasy- you can't say modern video game logos don't do that. Video games have been around long enough for a refreshment in visual style, so fair enough that the Doom logo is as different to the original as it is. Imagine the fans of Doom, after waiting years for a refreshing Doom game, getting the same logo they got however many times before. Style changes with the time. As movie posters have developed from clustered commercialising necessities to abstract and minimalist artworks, video game logos must do the same. What's popular changes with the time as well. So if a minimalist style is what's popular, that's inevitably what will be mass-marketed. Of course modern logos aren't going to be the same as older ones, it's somewhat why the word "modern" even exists. In other words, don't expect the trend to die out any time soon, you'll only be disappointed. I admire that you're bringing to light a rare topic that I've personally questioned about for ages, but maybe a consideration of society at large would better support your arguments. Anyway, keep doing what you do and comments section, please feel free to rebuttal any points I've made. I'll admit I'm not quite as educated on the complete history of video games as some of you may be.
