Check Out CD Projekt Red & The Witcher III’s New Logo

Logos are very important to both a company’s brand name and its legacy. They help you identify something with one simple image, and if they’re good, really submerge in your memory. They are a visual identity and CD Projekt Red has just gotten a logo makeover, and they have also given a new logo to The Witcher 3.

The logo that you see above is CDPR’s new look. I like how that even though it looks very minimalistic, the abstract shapes have been formed with great attention to detail, in order to create a bird effectively. Also, seeing how CDPR’s games usually consist of fantasy elements, this mystical bird is a fitting image.

The logo above is for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It puts emphasis on what the entire game is all about, by using the main enemy who commands the ruthless wild hunt, general Eredin’s ominous mask as the centrepiece. Cleverly it also doubles as the roman numeral, III.

So ladies and gentleman, familiarise yourself with these new icons, as we will be seeing them a lot from now on.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven, next-generation open world role-playing game, set in a graphically stunning fantasy universe, full of meaningful choices and impactful consequences. In The Witcher 3, you play as Geralt of Rivia, one of a dying caste of monster hunters, and embark on an epic journey in a war-ravaged world that will inevitably lead you to confront a foe darker than anything humanity has faced so far—the Wild Hunt.

The game will release for the PC, with a port coming for PS4 and Xbox One, February 2015.
