I liked the old logo ā but the obvious readability issue aside, what convinced me to change it was the effect it had on people's assumptions about the game's genre and tone.
The bigger issue:
"I assumed it was a parody game"

I recently tried the demo of this on Steam, and Iām very excited for the release. It gave me the same feeling as Antichamber, where things start simple but become increasingly interesting and creative in a really satisfying way.
