WWE RAW Logo Revamp: A Masterclass in Design
Back in November, wrestling fans were pretty disappointed when the potential new WWE RAW logo was revealed during the Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul fight. Thankfully, the wrestling Gods (a.k.a WWE’s execs) were listening, blessing us with a new logo that’s a vast improvement on the old clunky monstrosity we could’ve had.
A New Era for RAW
Admittedly, the bar was pretty low, but the new RAW logo is a total KO, bringing back fond memories for classic wrestling fans. With a mix of old designs and contemporary slickness, the new wordmark is a masterclass in how to design a logo with fans at its heart.
The Reveal
In typical dramatic WWE style, the new RAW logo was revealed by CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque in a brooding video. “A logo is an identity,” Triple H says, “It’s real. Rebellious. Raw”. A bright flood of light unveils the sleek new design, which seems to take inspiration from the 2002 and 2016 RAW logos. It’s the first design to feature white typography, likely to contrast with the Netflix logo due to the brands’ partnership.
Fan Reaction
Love the modern hybrid between the 2016 and 2002 WWE RAW logos, one X user wrote, while another added The new RAW logo is kinda like a modern Ruthless Aggression RAW logo in reverse. I like it! Others were just grateful to see the hugely unpopular potential design laid to rest. I can say that this new WWE RAW logo is way better than the other one we got, another fan on X chimed in.
Conclusion
The new WWE RAW logo is a welcome change, blending classic design elements with modern flair. It’s a testament to the power of listening to fans and incorporating their feedback into the design process. With this new logo, WWE has set a high standard for future branding decisions.
