That logo looks like it came straight from 2003.

That logo looks like it came straight from 2003.

It is intended.
But it should look older than 2003

Then you set out to design the logo?

Yoshida: We had to ask Minagawa to hurry (laughs). I had to apologize that I gave him very little time (laughs).

Spoiler:

(Laughs) Although the logo follows the original design, the font and color is very different.

Yoshida: For the font, we plan to change it with each patch. Since an air of unrest is arriving in Eorzea and the battles will be very intense, we chose a font which reflected that. Unlike the traditional FF series logos, we wanted people to instantly see a difference when comparing the different logos side by side.

Seems like a bit of nostalgia is built into the design also.

Yoshida: Yeah, I asked for it to look a bit like something of a 1980s or 1990s rock band, so that was intentional (laughs).

You intentionally chose the design in a rock band style?

Yoshida: I wanted it to look different from other things that we've seen recently, so that even as a web banner it would be a very different image from others.

It looks bad. All I have to say.

[Scamperoo]

It's a joke right?........please tell me it's a joke! cos otherwise the lunatics are running the asylum.

Apart from the bunny girls, that's the new logo and the art direction given for it's creation was to look like a rock band's logo.

I like the new logo tbh, and on a side note we need a bunny girl race lol

I like the new Logo. It looks very Halloween-ish, which fits with the Dark themes of the Primal Awakenings into Extreme mode... Siren (Pharos Sirius Boss Fight) is supposed to be on par with Garuda HM (as a 4-man instead of 8-man, difficulty wise).

Vierra will probably be considered for the first Expansion, as with each Expansion (3.0, 4.0, etc) they will be adding a new race. Also, once XV comes out in 2015, we will likely see XIV being removed from the title and just have it be Final Fantasy: _______ Insert Patch/Expansion title here.

It reminds me of the lettering in the original Doom game.
