I guess I should have said “creating content on the Roblox platform”.
But in what context should that icon appear where it would be associated with such creators? It just so happens that none of those use a Roblox-specific app/site apart from the general roblox.com.
While I understand that it makes sense to make the dev forum logo the same as the studio logo (due to both being development related) I feel like it comes off as lazy, especially when we had a pretty awesome logo before hand (imo)
I honestly like this change, the old logo was really nice but it doesn’t represent the brand image that roblox is going for with their new logos, and as it does have the ‘developer’ text it isn’t just the Studio Logo, rather it’s very clearly a subdivision of the development side of Roblox. There’s now two clear logos, roblox playing logo (the red one) and the roblox development logo (the blue one)
Purple is more a Next Level thing.
And idk. The Orange, by itself, is tacky. Unless spruced up by another color (like the Dominos logo had red/gray to pair with it) it’s just not very nice on the eyes.
I don’t see why users can’t get used to it. Feedback concerning the logo long-term is awesome, but anything regarding getting used to the logo is pretty trivial – any short term problems will be extremely minor.
Or Roblox Red though. Roblox Red shows this site is more about Roblox Development than about Studio based Development. Many people have made the point that many people here are about Roblox, not Studio. (Gfx, Blendr based users, etc, etc)
That makes a lot of sense IMO. We already have the same logo being used for the wiki, but we don’t have the same being used for the Roblox website (difference = line).
I think what they’re trying to get across is that the blue logo shows anything to do with development, including shirts, music, graphics, 3d models. That all comes under the ‘development’ bracket.
As developers ourselves, we completely understand what Roblox is and in our minds, there is a clear divide between playing games and developing games. The old tactic of Roblox used to be that you’d play some games made by other people, but quite a large portion of the games you played would be made by you or your friends. As developers have progressed and the platform has become very advanced compared to those days; normal users cannot create anything anywhere near the level of quality that a front page or even a somewhat popular game has.
I think this change is aimed at creating two clear ‘sections’ of Roblox. The red logo is recognizable by everyone as the logo of a platform for kids to play games on that is well polished and safe. The blue logo is likely unrecognisable by quite a large portion of the player base, and in a way this is a good thing, it makes it seem that Roblox and it’s development platform are two different entities; making development seem like more of a skilled task, and therefore taking away some of the fear that the games are made by inexperienced children who could put any kind of inappropriate items in the game.
If as a normal Roblox player, you came across this site or any other ___.roblox.com domain, which had a different logo to the normal roblox website you’d be naturally inquisitive about what the purpose of it is. Now on devforum.roblox.com and wiki.roblox.com the blue logo is present; showing to users that unless they are interested in developing games there is nothing to do on these pages. I think it basically just takes away the previous complexity of having all these logos.
new logo has already grown on me tbh, it’s really not that big of a deal dudes. It’s an image. We’re all creators who are obviously going to have their own ideas, but we aren’t the ones running the site.
