Yeah, I had no doubt about that.
Yeah, that's where I first saw it, too! In 3-D! Gave me a good buzz.

That's good, but I really like the new Walt Disney script for the Animation Studios logo now:
I like that version, but it IMO isn't different enough to work. The only difference is the letter "D." It works here because of the hand-inked gradients in the letters; but as a solid-color imprint, it looks too close to the corporate logo without being exactly the same—which looks odd.
I do like that the "D" is recognizable, and doesn't look like a version of the "&" symbol.

EPCOT Center's logo, with its icon and space-age futurism, is still the best one to me.

That and the fireworks over the castle clip had me set.
Every time I see the new intro, I wonder why the road goes through the middle of the castle while the moat floods through the front gate.
:brick: Sorry. :brick:

It was momentarily used for Disneyland Park, too. The usage was extremely short-lived, though.

I too like the old wdw logo better, and am glad it can still be found in the parks. off the top of my head I know its on the monorail cabs, but I thought I've seen it other places too. does anyone know where else the old logo is used?

Is it wrong for me to like the new logo more than the old one? Its not that I don't like the old one, I just prefer the new one. I'm sorry...

Nah, I know what you mean. Both have a unique look to them...I too like the newer, more modern logo.
But not for EPCOT.

Yeah, the title float. I forgot about that.
The original logo is also appearing on a lot of retro merchandise.

The typeface itself is still a little too 70s for me, but I love, Love, LOVE the mouse-ear globe!
Disney occasionally uses a combination of the Mouse Globe with the new lettering, but this mostly appears on business cards and company paperwork. It looks good.

The D with the Mickey Globe inside it is on the Motor Cruisers (boats) to WL and FW.
There is a sign at the bus entrance to MK that says Walt Disney World Transportation Vehicles only that has that.
Most white Disney vans have the D with the Mickey Globe.

The old EPCOT logo can be found between the Fountain of Nations of WS and on the gates outside.
Disney-MGM studios was on a plywood wall either in or around SCI-FI Dine In in May...not sure if they've changed that since then.

Funny...both of those were added AFTER the logo was used (more frequently). They were added in 1994/2007 respectively.
