When I think about cable TV, a few channels come to mind: USA, Comedy Central, MTV, TBS and, of course, TNT. And for a long time, their logo stuck in my head so well because it’s just so simple: a circle with their acronym. Pretty straightforward stuff, for sure. So how would they change it while retaining their look?
\nBefore we dive in, here’s a little backstory. TNT and TBS have the same president, and as you may recall, we recently featured TBS’s makeover<\/a> back in November of 2015. As it turns out, rebranding both channels started back in May of last year, with Kevin Reilly, the aforementioned president, made the call to make both of them over<\/a>.
\n“We’re on the move in a big way at TNT and TBS,†Reilly said to TV Week.<\/a> “We’re doing a proactive makeover of these networks. We’ll double the number of our original series on TBS and TNT over the next three years. And we’ll sharpen the point of view and be even more adventurous in our programming choices.â€
\nSo with that in mind, here’s the old TNT logo:
\n\"\"
\nAnd here’s the new one:
\n\"\"
\nWe don’t have any word on who did the design, unfortunately, but it’s certainly a big change. The argument could be made that since TNT is now going to be airing “daring shows,”<\/a> that maybe this new look emphasizes that tone — or maybe not, depending on your perspective.
\nWhat do you think? Is this a huge disaster or the best logo change ever? Let us know!
