New UAC Logo

[Linguica]

Thanks to Crusader from Linuxgames for pointing this out: apparently the Union Aerospace Corporation, the company responsible for all the hellspawn mischief in Doom, has gotten an overhaul from the last time we saw them. The UA-Corp website, which for the moment is the closest thing we have to an official id-run Doom site, has posted a new logo for the UAC, with Mars as a central feature of the design. It's certainly a far cry from the geometric simplicity of the original UAC logo from 1993, but cool nonetheless. (The All Your Base reference on the page is also gone, thank God.)

any money says this logo is going to start popping up in some new doom maps, hell maybe even mine!

[NiGHTMARE]

Looks kinda like something you'd see in System Shock 2 or Deus Ex... :)

[Julian]

I hate this new logo :(

[Guest Argh!]

Well okay, admittedly the old one does look kinda dated. But the new one just doesn't have that very simple, slick, immediately recognizable element that design companies strive for. Nope, it's no Nike comet "swoosh". :}

[X-DOOM]

Oh Yeah ! A new Mission for a Space Marines. Hell will be kick before they grown.

[Guest Nash]

ChaosOverlord - Hey I was wondering the same too. Would it be, like, "legal" to use that new logo current projects even before Doom3 comes out? I hope id won't get mad or anything hehe.

[Guest Executor]

Cool.

[Guest WadEd]

All your base are belong to us

[NiGHTMARE]

All your originality are non-existant.

[Guest Wyvern]

I like that logo a LOT. It's very reminiscent of the Tri-Optimum logo (mentioned earlier by NiGHTMARE) from System Shock 2. I loved that game.

If they make the new DOOM anywhere NEAR what System Shock 2 was like in terms of story depth (or even borrow some gameplay concepts from it like mission logs of crew members), I'll freakin' love it. Besides, I've always wondered what a cross between the two would be like.

rofl, this tight. The new logo looks alot more "original" then the older version. Just in time for Doom III...

[sgtcrispy]

Looks cool to me!

[DiSTuRBeD]

The new logo doesn't have any copyright, registered trademark or TM signs on it, so you can use it in your levels legally :) I hope to see some soon, this logo is great! :)

[RTC_Marine]

poor ling, he had to put up with that "all your base" thing for a while.

[Guest Matt]

This joke have no chance to survive make its time.

Yeah, probably it is legal for use in your lvls. Actually, ever since when the first Doom3 movie came out, I've been trying to take part of those screenshots and convert it into textures use in my deathmatch lvls, wad's named "Technology Arena". But currently Im still trying to look for some textures similar to doom3 walls. Unfortunately, the color quality of textures which are taken off and converted from the screenshots isn't as good as I expected. In fact, it is even crappier than Doom ordinary textures. Hopefully this time I could really use this new uaclogo sucessfully.

What you say !!

[Guest demoness]

new logo sucks, man

You don't need to put any sort of symbol like that on artwork in order for it to be copyrighted. Anything you write or draw is automatically copyrighted when it is put down in permanent form.

It's very... System Shock 2 escue.. But so far all of Doom3 have been that IMO
