You’re right it does remind me of E.T. The logo doesn’t really bother me cause i have just started learning to use Photoshop.

thats just awkward lol….

LOL! They should use your version. ~_^

Something tells me the lack of food is starting to mess with your brain…

“Photoshop has unexpectedly quit. Ouch.”

….I would not be surprised.

It reminds me of the Open University logo…
Do you have OU is over there?

It took me a bit to realize where Hawk started drawing, it all looks so consistent…

Would explain alot…

Its a sign…
PHOTOSHOP >CAME

You used photoshop for that didn’t you Hawk.
Somehow that just seems… I dunno… just something not right about it.

Weird. I dunno if I like it or not. I liked their other logo a lot better though.

It reminds me of RealPlayer, but I think it’s flipped. Hmm.

Et fone….hawk

I think its supposed to be the letter “P”, and i was accidentally looking at it sideways, it looks like a person with a big nose, or a bird, or i’m just crazy.

wow, that is very clever of you. I like your imagination, I think, that if you turn it to its side, it looks like a teapot with a thick, fat handle attached to it, with a pionty little spout. :D

I think it is better than the feather they had. More of a logo I mean. but as a logo I really don’t like it. It looks too much like other things, a thought bubble, an ichat speech box, ET, real player, its too generic/copyish. I think they could have done something much better with say, a film reel (photo-shop), but I think they are right in making a new logo considering the brand name of Photoshop is expanding into other applications.

Ung.. I hates it. Did they want to show us their 1337 Illustrator skillz or something?

But I do luf ET. So your version is acceptable.

Photoshop: Extraterrestrial edition

LOL Submit your logo “Enhancements” it might get a Spechal Edition ;p

Does this mean that Photoshop will starting calling home collect?

i don’t like it too much. they should’ve dome something that has art materials in it in some way.

If you took out what Hawk drew then it looks like another ET era Character Callen Number 5 in the moive “Short Circuit” just a little. that or I’m crazy. I pick crazy.

i laughed so much.

Bwahahaha….. Adobe has left the planet…
(maybe only aliens can afford CS3) :P

Every time I see it, it reminds me of the PBS logo:

If the new logo starts asking me to “phone home” then I might consider calling the goverment.:p

I laughed so hard my brother almost pee’d himself

Photoshop never needed a logo before or a lame strap line either. This new one looks like somethhing Microsoft would have. It’s Photoshop! not some program you haven’t heard of. I quite like the CS3 boxes, but between this and the new icons I have to wonder what Adobe is playing at these days.

Hmm… yeah, I can see the ET. But when I looked at the original I thought “No disassemble Johnny 5, Johnny 5 is ALIVE!”

Yep, i see the ET……but at first….it reminded me of a different ET….from the Atari game!…..now that is scary…

You know with a little twisitng that is a blue pacman.

simply put….. lmao

ET phone mac. Bwahaha. :D

PHOOOOONNNNE HOOOOMMME.

dude…that’s scary. et scares me…*hides* but i don’t use photoshop, so i guess that’s okay. (me use cg illustrator. ^^)

kitty

It also kinda looks like a prophet from Halo franchise

I personally preferred the old Photoshop logo, as weatherguy noted the feather logo was pretty unique, thus prefect for what is the only computer program I have ever used for digital art (when I get around to it that is heh, still prefer pencil and paint over CGI), I dunno…this logo seems more ‘professional’ and less ‘creative’.

Thats called design. Alien life form and a promise of piece all in a simple icon……shit happens.
The shit i write happens. Don’t bother reading the top 2 rows.

If you take the time to read the comments on John’s blog post, almost a hundred percent of them are negative regarding the logo. (And rightly so, IMO!) My post…(this is after John made numerous efforts to explain that the blue square was only Photoshop’s app icon and the Fuglybubble was meant for the whole range of Photoshops, not acknowledging that he shouldn’t have to explain it or something’s wrong with it)

I (meaning we) recognize that the blue square is intended to represent only the Photoshop CS3 application, but the thing is, if you need a variety of different logos to represent the Photoshop brand at various levels (individual application, family, etc), something’s wrong, because the need to introduce such confusion shouldn’t be there in the first place. Your argument that the different Photoshop products share a common code base is valid, but doesn’t take into account that most customers, at any skill level, don’t care about the underlying code — only what the software does and how well it does it.

(I’m reminded of several years ago when my father, in the course of some image-editing-related discussion, told me he had Photoshop — and therefore should be able to do things I was describing — when, in fact, he had an OEM CD of PhotoDeluxe that came with our computer. Such is the computer-savvy nature of many non-professional customers who now buy Photoshop Elements.)

True, the Photoshop family all deal with images, but if that’s the case, why not rename Illustrator to Photoshop Illustrator? Because they’re still different products for somewhat different purposes. By extension, apps like Lightroom and Photoshop Elements also differ in function from the full-fledged professional version of Photoshop, even if not drastically.

I hate to bring up Apple as they’ve been waved around this whole time, but the marketing for their software products almost always features the icon of the app in question — almost as if it were a logo, because it essentially is. If it’s sold in a box, and the box design is different, it’s not because there’s a whole different logo on it; it’s because they’ve chosen to show images that express what it does (take the content examples of iWork or the piano keys of Logic Studio). I’m not suggesting that Adobe imitate Apple’s packaging design, but rather that you use only one logo to represent Photoshop. If the multitude of Photoshop products is confusing as a result of not having an additional logo tying them together, perhaps it’s because too many products are trying to cram themselves into the Photoshop brand.

Barring a complete overhaul of your product line, perhaps using variations on the same theme would serve to tie the products together, such as changing the shape from a square to a circle (representing a globe) for Photoshop Express and a “fun”, slightly glossy picture-frame shape for the consumer-oriented Photoshop Elements. All with the same “Ps” and blue hue, all recognizable as Photoshop products. One thing is certain, though: almost anything would serve the Photoshop brand better than the currently proposed logo-and-tagline abomination, as long as it involved some common sense this time around. I wish you the best of luck.

For some reason it reminds me of iChat… maybe you can IM from CS3 now or maybe it’s got a twitter plugin.

Hmm…It kinda looks like Fong from Reboot.

Wowww! Gel effect orgy!

Your version got me to thinking… what if they redid the movie and set it in the present with all our new tech?

“E.T. Text home!” *pulls out iphone*

=D I might actually watch that version!

The new logo sucks. They need to hire someone a little more original me thinks.

They are heading away from uniqueness with this logo and making it look like every other OS X-inspired (read: ripped off) logo out there with the “OMG SHINY” look to it. I liked the feather, but I also liked the older camera filter/eye they had going, too. Camera lens = photo. Eye = visual. Quill = writing (WTF?). This = stupid. It’s not even a recognizable thing – it’s too abstract.

I use Adobe Paint Shop Pro (which is like Photoshop), and I also have SETI@home on my computer. SETI apparently looks for Fast Fourier Transforms and Guassian whatevers; PSP uses Fast Fourier Transforms and Guassian effects. So, if it picks up anything, we will know that there is intelligent life in the universe, and it has photoshop.

This looks pretty ridiculous, hahaha. Nice job, Hawk. By the way, Renss, Paint Shop Pro is Corel, not Adobe. ;)
