Problem I see is that if you're not familiar with the company you have no idea what it is. Also you really don't even see the "M" because of the "extra bug legs" so you wouldn't even recognize that the logo is for something that starts with M.

Actually, I do not like it at all. As mentioned by another poster: it looks like a "Transformer" kid cartoon or movie logo to me. Heck! What do I know, I am colour Blind, Hearing Impaired, can't see without my glasses anymore and drink way too much.............On another note though, Matrix Games to me is recognized by their great games, awesome Devs and awesome Customer Service, their Logo is NOT what makes me come here, so to each their won!

+1

At the bottom, would be fine.

Actually, the new logo is not that different from the old:



Many of the criticisms leveled at the new logo could likewise apply to the old. (By chance, a week or two ago I was thinking to myself how old-fashioned and stodgy the previous logo looked.)

Still, adding back the company name would help.

With the "Matrix Games" added below in white letters, I think this design could be a real winner and a good modern look.

Status: offline 		Just saw the logo in a reduced size as a Browser "tab" preview and it suddenly jumped out at me....

This is the Helmet/Mask of Magneto!

Now it all makes sense to me... there is an "X-Men" game in the production pipeline and with the movie and comics tie-ins it will be a huge blockbuster and become the crowning jewel of the Matrix game lineup... ergo... the new Mask of Magneto logo
