Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.
I can dig it. this'll probably be locked though because it's not really Dragonball related.
The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128 Still recording Toonami broadcasts on VHS after all these years! #1 Paikuhan fan!
I for one, greatly dislike it though, because it's a very boring font, and that's all it is. I hate modern logos that are nothing more than a "stylized" font.
"Kenshi is sitting down right now drawing his mutated spaghetti monsters thinking he's the shit..."--Neptune Kai "90% of you here don't even know what you're talking about (there are a few that do). But the things you say about these releases are nonsense and just plain dumb. Like you Metalwario64"--final_flash
Well, to make this Dragon Ball related, this is the logo that will appear on future DVD/Blu Ray cases of Dragon Ball footage (future movies, Super, the Kai Buu Saga, the 4 OVAs/Jump Specials, etc.)
You can go through your collection and see how much FUNimation has grown by just looking at the logo.
I kinda like the new style and I don't see really why it'd be locked as the company dubbs the Dragon Ball franchise and has aged ties to it itself. If they done red font and a white background it would have looked better imo.
I really actually like the old logo. I mean, it's extremely simplistic, yes, but it looks very old-school, immediately recognizable and somewhat nostalgic, like the old 4Kids! logo, which I used to see a lot when I was younger and watched Yu-Gi-Oh! I prefer simple to overly-complicated, but it still needs to have SOME defining factor, unlike this new logo.
I rode by a sign the other day that looked near-exactly like that eyes/noseless smile in Funi's new logo. It was either for a park or an apartment complex. I wasn't thinking to take a picture of it.
I prefer the previous one, to be honest.
The font of the new one is way too "modern", and I really don't like the look of it.

Looks boring as hell. What was wrong with the previous logos? They were actually pretty good and reminded me of oldschool anime, y'know with that star and stuff. But this doesn't even look like anything. It looks like the logo for a frozen yogurt shop.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.
