Less is More

I like the simplicity of the new Comedy Central logo.
However, this Flash promotional bit made me hate the fact that I have eyes:

Comedy Central Press
Comedy Central: Refreshed and Rededicated
www.comedycentral.com
Funny JokesUgly AmericansThe Benson Interruption

First they giveth, then they taketh away.

Oh wait, or do I only really like it cos of the similarity to the Apple power button?

Eh, who cares...I haven't listened to Queens of the Stone Age in forever...

  1. Reminds me of the Creative Commons logo. I think it looks a little too serious.

  2. I agree, the similarity to the Creative Commons logo is right on. It's weird I didn't make that connection.

    The new logo does look serious, however, I think it's a great contrast with the sort of comedic content they put out.

    It also makes me wonder if they're hoping to head down a path of being taken more seriously as a real network channel. Maybe, like how MTV took music videos out of their programming line-up, Comedy Central will eventually not show any "comedy".
