Honestly I think it looks great and modern but like most I also Think it look more a coin or a “token” so I would like to change it to a bux look not a coin
Not a good idea. It’s named Robux for a reason, bux —> bucks which isn’t what that looks like.
No real need to update this, a bit pointless but I guess it’s a somewhat improvement. If I was a new player, I would think it’s a point system at first. If I saw the previous one, I would think instantly that it’s currency. You need to make things easy understandable, especially when it comes to a game aiming to target kids and preteens. Since there isn’t any sort of built-in tutorial on how to use the website, this seems like a bit of a tricky move.

That’s my image I posted on my twitter, it’s a section from the Robux guidelines, go back to OP and find the file.
I don’t believe I remember there being any guidelines on how to use the old “R$” logo. So I must ask, do we get a warning if we use the logo incorrectly, if a developer is found using your new logo in a ‘tasteless way’ due to your new guidelines?(I’m sure most wouldn’t do this on purpose)
What about old games that we do not offer updates for anymore, do we really have to go in and update to these new logos?
Also, why not just upload the new logos to the UI interface in Studio for us to easily use in the manner you are requesting?

I’m curious about this too. Are we being encouraged to follow the guidelines to a T, or are they just helpful suggestions? If we slapped something like this in a ViewportFrame next to(or a layer beneath) the price of a gamepass, could our game get flagged for take-down?

Nope, they are brand guidelines, not rules. You won’t get in trouble for not getting it right.
That being said, it’s still in your interest to follow these, because most Roblox games will, so your players will be familiar with things being laid out and positioned as suggested by the guidelines.
Probably not worth your time – don’t bother.

I’m gonna be honest and say it kinda sucks because it looks nothing like something related to dollars I think that is what robux is based off, To be honest, I would call them Ronuts because the design is similar to that.
Rocoins sounds more fitting for the new log too

If anyone wants this as an object in their projects, here’s a mesh I made from the SVG file:

I couldn’t name it ‘New Robux Icon’ because that was ‘inappropriate’

I really feel that Roblox lost something very iconic with this change. I feel that this is another attempt by Roblox to become more “modern”. For the previous R$ icon it was obvious that it was a currency, however with this new icon if I was a knew player I would have thought it was a membership icon or something. I know that one of the reasons why Roblox did this change was because R$ is the Brazil currency, but R$ is also recognized as being robux (and I think more people associate R$ with being the roblox currency than the Brazil currency), and even the wikipedia page (R$ - Wikipedia) says that it is the virtual currency used by Roblox.

As an idea (which I think was stated earlier), the modernized icon could be green so that it stands out more. The shade of green in the example below is quite bright, but I’m sure that a slightly darker shade would look great on the website.
I also liked your idea w/ the coin aesthetic.
I’ve seen users stating that the “$” sign is an American currency symbol, but there are 10+ countries that incorporate the dollar sign so using it wouldn’t be “Americanizing” the currency. As an obvious example, Brazil uses the dollar symbol in their currency.

I really like the design, but the colors differency between the PC and mobile version should be changed to a standard color.
I agree. Green looks so much better and recognizable.
This icon doesn’t fit with the name “robux”. I somewhat liked the gold (
) icon, can I use it for my in-game currency?
You probably shouldn’t use the new Robux icon for your in-game currency for two reasons: 1. People might get confused and think that it is robux. and 2. Roblox might think that you are scamming if you use the robux logo and then try to sell the currency for robux.

Im honestly unsure why they decided on this. The Robux Icon was fine as it was, and to be honest it is part of what made roblox iconic. Without the Ro- what is roblox? I understand it would make sense in different countries, but honestly I am more confused by this thing, now. It will definitely take some getting used to.

I agree, Roblox seems to be removed what made them iconic. As you mentioned without the Ro-, Roblox is just blox and they are getting rid of that part too. Roblox also doesn’t seem to care that a majority of their player-base is from countries like Canada, The United States and Australia which all use currencies with the dollar symbol, and most people in European countries also associate the dollar symbol with a currency.

Why not just have a circle with an R inside? It makes more sense for currency than a bolt.

In my honest opinion, I feel as though the new icon seems rather bland, a bit modernized.
The old ROBUX icon was something all of us grew up with for many years, it was an symbol for currency, everyone knew what it was when they saw it. Making the icon look relic doesn’t really fit the title “ROBUX”.
Perhaps a simple color change would do, or adding an “R” into the icon would make sense, and would make it pop out more.

I miss being able to put “R$” into a textbox and calling it a day. Now, what do we call it? is it still robux, because most new players won’t know what its called.
