I like the current one. The 70s one is my least favorite.

Good question Alex. I can't decide because they all have a special meaning associated with a particular era of the development of Playmobil, so I say I like them all. :love:

I like the simplicity of the 70s logo, I'll go with that. :)

my best is the 80's logo  !! i don't know why i think it looks better in sets that were realesed with two or three versions with the other logos  :)

I think I'll choose the current one, but I'm also okay with the 80's.

Post by: Luis on May 21, 2011, 21:57:22
yeah i agree with Panos

in fact, i don't see any difference in the font except for the additional words ("b" and "System") and the dot over the "i" from the 80's one :hmm:

what would be REALLY scary is if Playmobil changed its logo for a radically different one :omg: :omg: :omg: (for some reason Bauhaus and the colors they've always used are part of the brand's essence, aren't they?)
Title: Re: which playmobil logo you prefer?
Post by: Bill Blackhurst on May 21, 2011, 23:43:19
Yes, the blue & pink box colors are a brand trade mark that many people associate Playmobil with.

Now, now, Alex, don't take it personal. If you look real close they all look similar, plus we weren't allowed to vote for more than 1. ;)
Title: Re: which playmobil logo you prefer?
Post by: Luis on May 22, 2011, 20:46:56
i still see no major difference among the 3 of them :P

 no i don't take it personal :lol: :lol: :lol: (why should i ? i desighned it?  ;D)   i just wonder why the majority voted for the current one ... :hmm: :hmm:

Post by: bonniebeth on May 23, 2011, 05:18:55
I think the current one just looks more interesting, with the letters having a somewhat 3D effect. The others look so plain.

Title: Re: which playmobil logo you prefer?
Post by: Luis on May 23, 2011, 14:57:13
actually the current boxes DO have the logo in a 3d effect, which looks very neat
Title: Re: which playmobil logo you prefer?
Post by: Bill Blackhurst on May 23, 2011, 17:10:20
So there's a forth design that isn't included for the poll, Uh Oh! :omg:

what do you mean? which set has it like this? tell me to google search it...
Title: Re: which playmobil logo you prefer?
Post by: Bill Blackhurst on May 23, 2011, 17:33:58
no... it's written the same way so it's the same  ;)
 

Not really, because all of the logos are close to looking a like, so if there's a forth that's 3D it can't look exactly the same! :hmm:
Title: Re: which playmobil logo you prefer?
Post by: Giorginetto on May 23, 2011, 20:57:41
I really dislike the current one, the best one is the first one, they should have never changed that .  :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

Absolutely 100%, i rally dislike the later ones. and they shoudl have kept big dioramas in the boxes , all started going wrong in teh 90s with biker klickies kicking klickies off cliffs, close up photos, the old custom made dioramas were so good we all love them ...!!1 ;)
Title: Re: which playmobil logo you prefer?
Post by: Wolf Knight on May 23, 2011, 21:22:24
Agreed on the diorama, but the logo is fine changed this way.

 perhaps ... i really want to see that 3d logo you are talking about ... but from the current boxes i see it is the same with the 90's one ,see:

the top agents boxes have some black around the letters but it's written the same.. and the accent to the "i" is round ...

 i agree with that too the dioramas were brilliant that's why i collect old msib boxes ;) the boxes are getting worst and worst as the years pass the 90's boxes with the colour label were fine with me ... these latest ones are horible  ??? ???

Actually, having taken a second look at the sets, they seem alright.
I do not like the design of some of the people,
But the fort has all the characteristics and design as a "real" secret base.
And I think the story that goes with it is really cool.
