Insomniac gets a new logo

IAs we contemplated a re-brand of our visual identity, we challenged ourselves to “think beyond the moon.” That meant eschewing a simple logo refresh. Instead, we wanted a redesign that reflected our evolution as a studio and as people while retaining some familiarity to our past logo treatments.

We’re very proud, excited, and yes, a little nervous to reveal our new Insomniac Games logo:

Old one for reference:

I like it but not as much as their previous one! Simple, clean and modern.

It's okay, but it appears like conforming to what the corporate market wants rather than sticking to the logo with character.

We reviewed this design very early in the exploration process. It caught our attention immediately, and wouldn’t let go even after we explored other directions. It works on multiple levels for us. It’s got a lunar theme, with what appear to be two crescent moons facing each other as the “O” – reminiscent of our past and future. Many folks here also see a portal or lens for the “O”, which we like because it symbolizes exploration as well as how many of our fans see us differently. Some follow us simply because we created their beloved Spyro the Dragon. For others, it’s all about Ratchet & Clank, or Resistance, Sunset Overdrive, our virtual reality games or Song of the Deep. And now we have entirely new fans swinging into our neighborhood to check out the latest on Marvel’s Spider-Man.

Observant fans will see the subtle callbacks to our previous Insomniac Games logo, including the oversized “O,” serif lettering on the “N” and the positioning of “Games” as a core part of our identity.

This is just the start of our re-branding effort though. You’ll see us become even more public-facing with our community, starting today with a livestream on our Twitch channel at 1:30 PST. And…we’re hiring! You can also see our new recruitment video here on the Careers page.

For some reason the old one reminds me of Ratchet and Clank. This one looks less fun and more business-like.

The new one looks so serious.

The old one was light hearted and more resembling of a company that creates videogames.
