I like the logo. Of course, I'm a big tiki/60s/Cabana Bay guy, so what do I know.
I like the logo. Would've preferred a bolder font, but I think it's fundamentally a good design. And to compare it to the Adventure Island logo is laughable.
I second this.Since everyone is a critic... I challenge to make a better logo.
Typhoon Lagoon has the best Water Park Logo!Uni should have made the logo closer to this:
Relaxing but exciting and conveying the park's icon.
Or those whose job it is to come up with a stand out/iconic logo could've done that. I honestly don't see why everyone is so defensive of the logo as if criticizing it isn't even allowed. It's trivial, certainly, but what else is there to talk about with this right now?Since everyone is a critic... I challenge to make a better logo.

There's no issue in talking about this for the time being imo. If someone posts pictures, great, we move on. But someone posted a picture of a logo, that's the latest we have to discuss right now here.
I appreciate a reasoned response and get that the designers come up with something along the lines of what they are described. My point was though, you are calling everyone a critic. I simply see it as people having opinions. Everybody has them.I never said there was an issue talking about. But since we're talking about it, I challenged people who were critical to come up with a better one because I can flip your statement and say I don't see why anyone is so critical of the logo.
As you said, it's trivial but everyone wants to be a critic about it.
As someone who's been involved in graphic design, and I'm sure others can attest, you make what your told. The graphics people were probably told to keep it simple. IMO, not every logo has to be grandiose.
Colors, lines, font all play a factor. Blue/Green conveys tropical/water. The font looks like a retro/tiki vibe. It works. Could it have been better? Sure, but I like it. The simplicity of the logo may be a better pay off for merch.
I mean, we don't have to experts in a craft to say something doesn't look appealing lol. Saying that is like saying "you don't like Antarctica? I challenge you to build a better ride" :tongue:Since everyone is a critic... I challenge to make a better logo.
Better?

Just because some don't care for it doesn't mean they are all of a sudden haters as some want to insinuate or that we should go draw a better one (I actually think it's fine, I just expected something, well... more). No one who was saying they didn't like it was being rude initially, so what I don't get is when a few people display opinions that some oppose, others have to get nasty and start mocking the situation.
Things like that are what made Magic the mess that it is.
It isn't particularly striking and memorable but ultimately I think we're getting a bit ahead of ourselves with jumping to conclusions about the logo. It's likely a placeholder for the time being.
See early IOA logo's:
Edit: The last one was an alternate IOA logo found on promotional material and official documents.
