JoshC. Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 With the new logo coming, makes sense to have a thread for it. 3 hours ago, coasterfreak23 said: Found on twitter and Instagram. Thoughts Clearly this is a fan made idea. I don't see it happening. In saying that, I don't hate the idea of the coaster track forming that part-infinity shape.

skelly Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 I hope if they do have track it is not arrow/old vekoma as there isn’t one at the park and also not the best looking in my opinion (mack would work better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice that you're creating your own ideas, but this isn't the platform for that, especially if you're saying it *is* the new logo. That's verging on spam. So please let's stop that.

Matt N Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 I’m wondering whether the new logo might have some sort of coaster track or something in it. I know it’s a well-worn approach for a theme park logo, but I would argue that coasters are one of Thorpe’s biggest selling points, particularly with the logo change coinciding with the opening of Hyperia.

Glitch Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Whatever it is I’m expecting next years version to have an exclusively gold overlay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the park said in their passholder group that the logo won't be exclusively gold. I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a Hyperia inspired logo though, which would probably be gold.

Matt N Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 I know it’s a different park, but Alton Towers have always created a slightly modified version of their logo to fit whatever the new ride of the year is whenever they’ve built something major. Over the years, we’ve had the orange version of the logo for Wicker Man, the yellow and black swirly version for The Smiler, the green version for Thirteen, and the purple version for The Curse at Alton Manor, and that’s just off the top of my head… With this in mind, I wouldn’t mind betting that Thorpe might have an edited version of the logo specifically for Hyperia’s opening year.

JohnnyRocket Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 We got the rusty logo in 2009 for Saw, which they brought back several times. Quite fitting to go with the rusting infrastructure! And a sPoOkY white logo for DBGT (pic from https://x.com/dg95official/status/1094600599860072448?s=46 ) Glitch and Matt N 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterverse Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 New logo reveal at 7:30 on Thursday! The park have announced that there will be a new YouTube video talking about the past, present and future of Thorpe Park branding at 7:30pm every night for the next three nights. Predictions?

tactic Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 I think they clarified that they are staying as Thorpe Park in the comments so no major name alternations. I think the main branding is going to move away from island theme to a feel good vibe, also straying away from extreme thrills marketing. In terms of the logo, I think anything is possible really. I feel like they may use lots of vibrant pastel colours to represent the relaxed, feel good vibe and maybe implement a piece of coaster track into the logo. In all honesty I have no idea what they could do, I was personally a fan of the island theme as it made the park unique and felt like it didn’t need changing. As they say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. But regardless it is good to see that thorpe park are taking care in the future of their brand and identity.

MattyMoo Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 So video 2 is up - they mention TWDTR at the end, yet DBGT hasn't been mentioned... unless they reference that in the next one as Ghost Train, I'm guessing...? Have to say, kudos to Thorpe/Jack/Alice/all involved - these are great videos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Well DBGT is the future of theme parks so I’m sure that’ll come under the Future video. I’m enjoying these videos too 😊 very nicely done and interesting to see! Really positive to see the park fully acknowledging the problem with all the “darkness” surrounding everything in recent years since Saw. The focus on a brighter future sounds very good to me.

MattyMoo Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Indeed - they even mentioned the fatheads, Thorpe have become self aware! 😮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyRocket Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Would be keen for it to take some sort of inspo from the original 80s logo! Bit of a trend for that at the mo, see Burger King, Pepsi are reverting to their classic wave logo etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ML27 Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 It’s great that they are aware and slagging off previous teams and management from the not too distant past 😂 However, unless this announcement cements their brand. What’s not to say that it doesn’t return to the old ways in 5 years time? They are so choppy and changey and have been for the past 10 years.

They are so choppy and changey and have been for the past 10 years. tbf a new logo requires a bit more effort, money, change, etc. So that help justify keeping the change and not going back. I think the bigger thing, which admittedly is harder to know unless you're aware of these things, is that the senior management at the park has been stable for a good period of time now. In the 2010s, especially the latter half, there was a lot of chop and change at the top, and that was reflected in the brand identity, vision and so forth. Hopefully the stability in the senior management continues, meaning they're singing from the same hymn sheet, if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inferno Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 And here she is ❤️ Nice and colourful, and can be easily used against different backgrounds to suit whatever really. I like it and the whole brand story surrounding it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
