Logo Change

It can't be silent hill Wii since it would be very...very wierd to find a game called silent hill wii for the PS2 or PSP.

Also, shattered memories might have more meaning then what we think.

Silent Hill Wii would jsut be a ridiculous title, and a mistake, imo. I just think that sounds goofy.
Shattered memories has much meaning, from what I can already tell. It shatters our memories of the first game, figuratively speaking, because we have to deal with things we are not expecting while playing through a familiar story. And it shatters Harry's memories:
"What are you people doing in my house?!"
See? His memories seem pretty shattered.

Couldn't of put it better myself, plus I rather like the sub title.

Hmmm, I think I hated the first one, this one's not too bad, I guess. Now I'm thinking, and without having them in front of me, I don't even remember what the logo's for the other game's even look like, and I can't say that I really give a flying bowl of noodle's what any of them look like. I can't say it makes a difference to me, I mean, they could write it with a sharpie and it wouldn't put me off even a little.

I'm probably the only one on this forum who feels this, huh? Oh well.

It's shiny though, I like shiny.

Personally I think the new logo is much better, the original was just had a "look at me I'm icy" look to it, the new one however seems to twist and distort in a rather creepy way.

Or 'Silent Hill Wii'.

Or 'Silent Hill: Harry's Drunk Again'.

...A 'rename the game' thread would be fun.

SILENT CHILL (sorry, couldn't resist)

Anyhoo, back on topic, I think both logos are stupid-looking, but I'm not going to let that bother me. As long as this game delivers.

That's a good one.

Ooh! The old one was cool, but I prefer the new one. Like others have said, it does seem much more refined. Also, the new one seems somehow more eerie to me, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Not really a fan of either of them, but it's just a logo.

The old logos were cool cause they just used normal fonts in weird ways (I don't know if the fonts are related with the game in anyway)... But the concept of use the game's main theme in the logo is a bit childish for me...

The fonts are generally serious and neutral (Except for the shitty cartoony logo of SHH, the Silent Hill V logo was a lot better)... The icy font don't look good for Silent Hill, maybe if they use white or gray instead blue it will look better...

This.

Whoever is in charge of designing the SM logo doesn't seem to understand the concept of 'less is more' which is the case with pretty much everything. Except money. And sex.

I personally wish it was in Comic sans font XD.

I prefer the new one, it looks much better than the previous in my opinion. The ice hanging off the word 'Silent Hill' was a tad over the top.

Post by **Harrys_Girl** » 02 Aug 2009

The new one is... better... than the old one, but they are both no where near what I would consider taking seriously. Then again, I still don't like the font for SHH.

It could be worse, just picture Shattered Memories' title like this:

Honestly, the Silent Hill logos never really wowed me... though I wasn't particularly fond of Homecoming's, not that it detracted from my enjoyment of the game.

That said, I do like the new one more than the old one, but I do agree that something simpler would've done the game better justice. But, then, when it comes to things like this, "simplicity," will always be my answer.

Hell, they could've typed it out in Times New Roman and I would've been satisfied.

Ugh, Origins and Homecoming had such ugly logos... I was trying to forget those, Kage! WTH...

No, but in all honesty, some logos actually can pull of a very common font and still look amazing. Look at Final Fantasy's logo-- it's not TNR, but it is a rather plain serif font that looks great on it's own, even without all that trippy Yoshitaka Amano art.

The original was so cheesy. The new logo is definitely better!

Post by **Numb Body01** » 02 Aug 2009

Logo's much better, thanks for the heads up. Subtitle still looks shite though.

Post by **SGTCOOL** » 02 Aug 2009

I like the new logo better. And would just like to say the European box art for homecoming is 100% better than the American box art. It was fucking terrible.
