Prog redesign and Tharg's new look

[mogzilla]

Bleeding Cool have the prog logo - which isn't a radical change - and some great Tharg images by Henry Flint, plus COVER SPOILER ALERT the cover of Prog 1700.

EDITED TO ADD: Spider-Tharg! THWIPP!

   its the bloke from cheers!

The slightly redesigned logo is an improvement as it looks more balanced with the badge on the red background.

Anyway its very naughty of BleedinCool to not link to the source of the redesigned cover and logo as if to pass themselves off as having been given exclusivity by 2000ad/Rebellion.They ought to realise that its a small community and these things are noticed.

Unless i am mistaken wasnt there another incident recently of BleedinCool not crediting their sources ?

Ok, interesting. Guess it's more web friendly and probably works better at small sizes than the existing one.

It's a far superior version of the prog 555 logo.



I wonder if they added the chrome bits to please Mr Ewing?

CALL! Tharg's turned into Ted Danson... Steve Guttenburg can't be far behind. GULP

Ah, prog 555. I jumped onboard 2000ad the week before ..

the logo's been made to look like an exclamation mark methinks

Never mind all that, has Buttonman clocked the letters preview?

Well he left a comment on Pete's blog, so I guess so!  Me, I'm just happy to see my Letter of the Week have another airing

Simon Parr has done a nice article about this on his blog, the colour tests are particularly cool...

Claim verified - Darren's 'Dredd movie poster' did indeed grace Prog 555 and he followed this with Prog 583's 'Perp Busters' and Prog 615's 'Judge Anderson'. He has also had 4 letters printed totally outdoing Tom Proudfoot's single 'Middenface McDredd' offering.

Darren lived in Walsall in 1991 having moved from Portsmouth in 1989. Unless there are two of them, I don't know.

surely one drawing in the early progs equals four letters?

Alas, no Tom. In a recently revamped scoring system it's 6 points for a drawing and one for a letter so your 13 letters and one drawing total of 19 falls well short of Darren's 3 drawings and 4 letter haul of 22.

Middenface McDredd is enjoying his 25th anniversary this year - how about a redesign for the 21st century? Second thoughts, better not your dodery old hands probably couldn't get charcoal to parchment.

Cheers, Pete. Another bookmarked blog. I was going to say that it would be good to read a rationale of the revamp. I haven't read the blog yet, but I've just realised is that at smaller sizes, the new version makes more of a colour impact.

What does a letter in the DC Dredd's equal, I reckon 20 points at least. What say you, Buttonman!
