Do you think the Old Logo is returning?

[brb1006]

And then in 2015 this was the logo that was used on a lot of merchandise:

It uses the same font as Disneyland/Magic Kingdom.

Still lacks the charm of the original logo.

I've always been a fan of the classic logo

Nostalgia sells. It's just marketing.

That was my thought. Still cool to see it being used again.

I'm at Epcot now and there's a lot of new merchandise with the old EPCOT Center lettering and logo. They've actually had it out for a few weeks now. Not that it means anything, but hopefully with all of the changes coming they'll switch back to it.

I had an interesting conversation with a customer service supervisor not long ago about Epcot -- they referred to the park as "Disney's 80s park" and said they hope to 'embrace nostalgia' as part of its DNA.

What about MGM/Hollywood studios? Isn't that technically Disney's 80s park as well as Epcot? (Okay it's 1989 but still.)

No. Because no longer an affiliation with MGM. Won't see that logo.

Sorry for double posting, but a lot of 2017 merchandise is also using the old logo.

I like all of those. Glad to see the old logo back!

It is. I like the logo as well. Most people seem to "recognize" it. Maybe for the 50th they can roll it out completely and bring it back. But I guess in a way it is back because they use it on merchandise, but often times, one doesn't talk to the other, so that's why I said it's just about marketing and selling a product. Merchandise and marketing seems to realize that nostalgia sells, and it does.

Absolutely. I love merch with the old logo on it. It's my childhood.

Disneyland resort also went to a corperate logo for awhile just like WDW starting in 2001 until their 50th anniversary, (Though the original logo was still used for Disneyland Park, ala Tokyo Disneyland.) So i won't be suprised if they do it with Walt Disney World too.
