CaptainUnknown Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Seems to be a simplified version of the previous logo. But at least it's better than the LA Chargers' logo. In other news, the park's website has also been given an update.
SFOG1991 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 That logo has become increasing more bland. Not sure I'm a fan but it looks fine. Website looks nice as far as I can tell!
thrillseeker4552 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Looks nice. I rather liked the consistency of websites across all CF parks, but if other parks adopt that new style I'm all for it!
Meghna Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Looks pretty cool! The text size is a little small for me in the header, but other than that it all looks really well balanced.
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Okay, I know I am in the minority here. . . I loved Cedar Point to death, but my god I hate that logo. It's so . . . bland, and basic. Oh well, they still have great coasters!!
DILinator Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 SO... Is there any way to set up TPR so that I get a notification for this thread only if RMC Streak is talked about, or something else specifically CP related, so I don't waste my time in here otherwise??? To be fair, there's not much actual news on that either so you'd just end up with 2017 / 2018 arguments. Yes, this is true, and we certainly don't need any more of that either! Honestly, I just keep hoping for more pictures of the construction, but I imagine we're probably a little too far into the throes of the winter period to see much happening in that regard. At least KI is keeping my desires for construction updates sated with Mystic Timbers!

DoubleDown Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 In case anyone hasn't noticed the trend over the past 5 years has been to basically take away the 3D look of logos and make them flat, basic, and 2D. Cedar Point has apparently finally caught up with the trend. Look up any type of logo be it from soda companies, to fast food, to applications on your phone, anything that's been around for a more than a decade or so, and you'll see they have changed their brand logo to being basic and not like things used to look in the 90's. It's a new trend that will probably be around for another decade, then something new will pop up and it will change again.

Saw a commercial for Taco Bell the other day and was shocked to see how basic their logo looks now: I'm not making this up -- it's really that simplified. Seems as if Cedar Point has just hopped on the bandwagon as well -- clearly not to the same extent as above, and frankly it doesn't look bad, but definitely simpler and flatter all around.
bluestreak Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I enjoy simplicity so I'm all for this logo!
Gerstlauerguy Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I like it but wish it had at least another shade of blue. Possibly a border
Password121 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Interesting how the park logo is incredibly simple and new ride signs are more and more complex and three dimensional (Banshee, Gatekeeper, Fury, Leviathan, Valravn, etc). I don't mind the logo, but I kinda liked the wavy look of the old logo. Really doesn't matter in the end though.
coasterbill Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 The new website feels like it's designed more for mobile than it is for desktops, but even so I don't mind it. I'm sure it'll grow on me.
I Like Theme Parks. Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Personally, I would have kept the yellow letters and used the darker blue as a thick outline, so it would look like a natural evolution and more closely resemble the old logo. Love the simplicity of it, though.
livai Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Personally, I would the old site. This is really bad
Philrad71 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Was checking out the Cedar Point Shores water park website and noticed that the new children's area is called Lemmy's Lagoon. It mentions that Lemmy is the name of Lake Erie's "legendary monster". Can't say that I have ever heard of Lemmy...other than this guy. Oh yeah, the swim up bar is now called "Muffleheads Beach Bar"....LOVE it! Edit: for all you drinkers out there, there is also going to be a new bar by the wave pool called Schooner's Bayside Bar. Loving the new look of Soak City already! "C'mon and check out my new water park...ya f-in' brats!"

The story is known around the region, although the name Bessie is more commonly used...
Ed Farmer Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Great Lakes Brewing also does an IPA called "Lake Erie Monster". I greatly enjoy their Chillwave.
PKI Jizzman Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Great Lakes Brewing also does an IPA called "Lake Erie Monster". I greatly enjoy their Chillwave. Ha! I was just looking for Chillwave at Binny's. They didn't have it. Seriously one of the best double IPA's I've had so far. If you're a fan of double IPA's or hops, definitely look out for it.
prozach626 Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Lmfao! A new slightly changed logo came out and coaster enthusiasts are already bitching about it. That, and we already have a couple logo analysts. **** my life.
drummermattk Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Found this on CoasterCrazy and it was just posted within the hour. (This is a legal photo by the way) Source: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1454753484537059&set=o.43800422463&type=3&theater
chickenbowl Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Here is the source. This looks to be the valley of the first drop, right? I'm trying to figure out what's going on with those ledgers that the track is leading to!
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I'm trying to figure out what's going on with those ledgers that the track is leading to! Either an outward banked turn, or an inversion.
chickenbowl Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 ^ Outward banked turn?? Or inversion?? That top ledger is definitely outward banked! I'm trying to imagine what kind of element this will be! This is really exciting -- It's our first look at any interesting bit of this layout! And it'll only get more exciting from here!
