Aesthetics aside (art is in the eye of the beholder after all), I see this as yet another entry in the truly long list of things not needed nor requested.

what a waste of time
please stick to developing the actual game
Not at all! I think if it would have been prepared in a pub, then it would have been a much better design.it was prepared down the pub, out of hours, on a spirograph and a cigarette packet
It would be interesting to have a poll to see how many current players refer to the game as "Forge" - which is what the new logo implies we should be calling it.
I personally have always called it Forge of EMPIRES - with the stress on the word EMPIRES, as that is what i have been strive to create (or 'forge'). Even as the abbreviated FoE, i have always pronounced it 'Eff-oh- EEE' - again stress on the final syllable.
So to now see the game effectively renamed as "Forge" seems very alien to me. but maybe i am the only one who sees it like this.
the original illustration of the blacksmith's (small 'b') iron workers forge tools always struct me as an apt illustration of the creativity involved in building and developing your city, which made it stand out from other similar game logos.

I think the new logo doesn't look all that different from those of similar games.I imagine some marketing guru will have told them you need to differentiate yourself from others and 'Empire' is used in a number of other games so focus on the forge.
Just variations of the new logo itself. There are smaller/compressed versions to serve different purposes.whats this logo all about (appeared this morning on the loading page)
