Ok, I know that Candlekeep ran a poll on this some time ago when the logo first changed (http://www.candlekeep.com/voting/results_logo.htm) but as time has passed and some people who at first snub change (human nature I suppose  ), may have warmed to the 3rd edition logo....... Now, which logo do you prefer, the 2nd edition logo or the 3rd edition logo? If you dont know what im talking about, see the above link

I personally was one of those who didnt like the change, I originally chose the 2nd ed. logo to be the best, but now I LOVE the 3rd ed. logo
I think the style is quite classy and the font is really unique and mysterious. The whole style of 3rd edition FR products is the best yet. The parchment effects and chapter headers are just perfect!
So......... I vote 3rd edition logo!!  |

I still prefer the old one. But I still prefer the old D&D logo - the one with the & in the shape of a Dragon. |

I don't really have a preference for the logo... as long as they keep a consistent format for the products. Currently all the new FR products have the smae look and feel (exception Monsters of Faerun), besides looking nice on a bookshelf, it helps provide a little of that special realms-feel.
Ok if I have to vote... the new logo... just because it's fresh and reinvigorated. |

Just a quick response to that about Monsters of Faerun (I dont want to start on about this incase this thread gets off topic) but I wish, I wish, I wish that WotC would rerelease Monsters of Faerun in the FR product style, it would fit so much better with the rest |

I believe I have yet to see the new 3rd Ed logo. The link contained only the old one.

If you go here, you'll find the new logo (as well as on all but one of the 3rd ed. Realms products) |

I really do prefer the old one, actually. It's more "realmsy" to me. When I looked at the new one, my first impression was of a kind of dessert feel. Even though I've gotten used to it now, I still feel like it's not equal to all of the Realms. Like it doesn't "fit" someplace like Myth Drannor, or Icewind Dale. All a matter of aesthetics, really.
Still, as my signature suggests, I try to be open-minded. Now if only I could keep my brain from falling out . . . . |

| Well I like them both. But I like the 2nd one a little better, but I guess its because I haven`t gotten use to the 3rd yet. But as time passes I`m likeing it better and better. |
I`m not lost, my dreams are.
I am one of those people who go through life unseen, but I don`t think of it as a bad thing, no I think of it as an opportunity |

| I prefer the older one better. The newer one in my opinion is too new. It stands out way too much. But of course, that's just me. I'll probably get used to it after a while though. |

| I think I prefer the logo that won the poll (I think its the new one but I'm not sure). It just looks more appealing to the eye (well, my eye anyway!) |

I think the first one is the best. I always like the original, from the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (now its Ninja Force or something stupid) to the old Denver Bronco uniforms (the orange ones with less blue)
P.S. I hope the Raiders lose the SuperBowl today! |

| The original logo is decent but they improved greatly on the 3E logo, it looks much better. |

| 3rd edition is the better looking logo. |
Some believe there is something more after death, if you really want to find out... go kill yourself and stop pestering me. |

| I vote the 3e logo. More intricate design and it just looks more professional. The old one just looks so outdated and 80's-ish. |
"Lies engulf the drow in fear and mistrust, refute friendship at the tip of a Lolth blessed sword. The hatred and ambition fostered by these amoral tenets are the doom of my people, a weakness they perceive as strength. The result is a paralyzing existence that the drow call the edge of readiness." -Drizzt Do'Urden |

| Despite being a 2nd edition player I think I prefer the look of the 3rd Edition logo. HOWEVER! The 2nd Edition one is much more noticeable, many the time have I been looking through my local AD&D store and seen a book with it on the front cover and instantly thought... Forgotten Realms. However when I look through a bundle of 3E stuff I need to look twice to notice the campaign setting. |
Once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore-
While i nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

| I could imagine that for the novels... but for the game accessories that seems a bit odd. They have a very distinct layout and cover background, something that really stands out among the other D&D products IMO. A situation similar to the last series of FR accessories for 2nd edition... |

| 3rd edition logo is better, I think... |

| I prefer the 3E version myself. I also love the FRCS book itself, definately the the most pleasing on the eye of all the source books I have. |

I agree on that one. As for the logo I think I like third better, but I have no problems with the logo of the second edition either. |
'All that is' is also 'All that is not' for the one cannot exist without the other.
