Comedy Central Rebranding
Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 9:48PM Today I was watching Tosh.0 on Comedy Central when I noticed something new and distinct in the corner, a new Comedy Central logo. First let me voice my opinion that I thinks it's clean and simple, easy to read, distinct and unique.
However, most people especially brand critique would be quick to tear this logo apart. First of all most people would make complaints such as, the logo looks like the copyright logo, looks like close captioning, it's too simple, too plain, and most importantly they would complain to no end that the Central is upside down. How can people read that, they will get a headache, it is confusing, etc.
However, I applaud them for taking that stance, if we know anything about Comedy Central, it's that they don't care what other people think. Secondly they aren't aiming towards a lowest common denominator audience who can barely comprehend sarcasm and satire. They don't want to convert the large population of people out there who still think that Stephen Colbert is a Republican. Their logo basically says, "if you can't read upside down, you shouldn't be watching this channel" and I say I commend that. We need to stop making the assumption that people are incapable of comprehending even the slightest complexity. We should design to challenge their intellect and always expect more of them and they may just surprise us and rise to the occasion. I'm just saying, assume they are smarter than you think and they will figure it out.
