Worst Redesigns

  • 🔧 Actively working on site again.
Video game redesigns are hit and miss.

For instance, the PlayStation 3 style.

...to a more basic design.

I like the back cover, but the front just lacks personality compared to the Spiderman font.

Now this is just soulless and lazy. And it looks too similar to the PS4 template.

Agreed hated the redesign that came when they moved on to the slim model. I also hated the slim model for being a cheap PS3 being introduced when the PS4 was out. I like my consoles big so i love the original PS3 over any of the slim iterations the model that replaced the "fat" was still good looking. But we lost backwards compatibility with the PS2 because few people cared. Can't wait when Sony does it again with the PS5.

Any time a soda company brings back a retro logo for a limited time and i go what the fuck is this why did you break consistency. This isn't the WWE when i'm watching old matches on Youtube.
 
I think Banjo and Kazooie's redesigns in the third game are genuinely some of the worst to ever hit plastic. Replacing big emotive eyes and soft curves with sharp angles and beady eyes feels like textbook "do not do" shit for a cartoon mascot. And the fucking human teeth, always with the human teeth.

Also old Mickey Mouse-looking Sonic is infinitely more likeable and appealing than the gangly "haha irony" current one.
 
I get that they wanted to make Freddy Krueger look more like a burn victim in the remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street, but I feel like it didn't work.

I feel like they didn't understand what everyone liked about Freddy. You don't turn Skeletor into Darth Vader.
To be fair, Freddy Krueger was technically a burn victim (after he escaped jail time the angry mob set him on fire and burned his house down and then he became a ghost/spirit/whatever), but the old version looked fine!
 
Reddit´s new interface is fucking unusable. The site is garbage already but is a pain in the ass to browse with that shit new UI.

From the sidebar of /r/fantasy... 😞

Please be aware that the sidebar in 'old' Reddit is no longer being updated with information about Book Clubs and AMAs as of October 2018. Resource links will direct you to Wiki pages, which we are maintaining. For updated information regarding ongoing community features, please visit 'new' Reddit.

Then again, I was surprised to realize it has been at least 2 1/2 years since the re-design and the Plebbit powers that be seem in no great rush to force nu-Reddit on the unwashed masses. They must see something about the way the site is accessed that makes them unwilling to pull the plug on "old" Reddit.


This cereal brand had a caveman, a monkey, and I think a lion as its logo as well. Possibly Snap, Crackle and Pop from plain ol' Rice Krispies, too.

Depends on the region, i think it had some elves too but Here in latin america "choco krispis" always had Melvin the elephant as mascot for decades so he was very iconic,

It may have been forced by regulations more than marketing though, specially in mexico the government went after food mascots. Tony the tiger and chester cheeta are both banned there and Melvin became way uglier.
