What Do You Think Of THQ’s New Logo?

Kotaku AU

To be perfectly honest, I’m not sold. New logos always tend to look weird until you get used to them, but I just don’t get this one.

UK Tracked Vehicle Company Using Lionhead Logo?

Kotaku AU

Can’t afford your own logo, or can’t think of one awesome enough? Why not just take someone else’s? Reader Grant noticed that a UK tracked vehicle company, called IJ Access, has lifted Lionhead Studios’ emblem for use on its site. If you look above, you’ll see the IJ Access logo is on the left, LHS’ is on the right.

Now, I thought at first it might just be a coincidence… until I found a newer version of the site. If you visit the original page, Galaxylift.co.uk, the logo is out in force. However, if you jump to Lionlift.co.uk, which is almost identical, the logo has been scrubbed from the page header and the crane in the picture as well! Very naughty.

In case it all disappears, I’ve included screen caps of both sites after the jump.

IJ Access [Thanks Grant]

Old clip is old, I know, but I’ve finally found the time to sit through 14 minutes and 43 seconds of Sega logos, shredded, blown up, bastardised and molested in every imaginable way by anyone and everyone who ever published a Sega Genesis game.
