TNA Rebrand Discussion Thread

[Smart Marx]

So it looks as though this actually is the official logo, since I saw it being used on Impact's website advertising Final Resolution, Hard To Kill and the first tapings of TNA Impact Wrestling coming up after the PPV.

I don't love it but I don't hate it either. Specifically the subtext sitting in the border, something about that doesn't sit right with me. But, we'll see how it looks in application.

After looking again I concur on the bottom part I do think the company name font at the bottom should inside the border. Instead on it.

So yeah the new one is a cross between that top logo used on the video game cover and the tv show logo variants on the bottom. I like that a lot.

Those logos are fuckin cool tbh

Probably the coolest show logo of all time was that original crack impact logo but I understand why they don’t want to completely copy the old logo so I think the new one honoring it does a good enough job.

I think it’ll grow on people.

I just know it’s great that they’re finally going to just call it TNA impact again and I can’t wait to see what the new arena looks like. Scott is promising a full revamp from the ramp to the turnbuckles.

I definitely think that logo will look awesome on the ring mat. If they want to do the full show logo.

One of those ramps that's gimmicked so Samoa Joe can burst through it

TNA uploaded this today. This is probably the last time I can honestly remember being really excited for something that TNA was doing. They were still on Spike, the belt still bore the TNA name despite the show being impact wrestling, and AJ styles and Bully Ray honestly feels like a big deal world title program. This was 2013. They’d immediately fall off a cliff like right after this. Which is wild to me.

Once they got into 2014 is when they started doing the Dixieland stable nonsense and they be kicked off of spike TV not long after that and change the logo.

How long has it been since it was known as TNA?

2011 is win the show stop referencing TNA and became known as impact wrestling. The belts, however, still bore the TNA name until 2017 when anthem bought it and they did a full hard change to impact wrestling.

 

[Smart Marx]

So when TNA Impact Debuts in January, it’ll have been 13 years since the last time the program was officially named TNA Impact.

 

[Smart Marx]

It doesn’t feel real, but it is.

I made a version of the show logo without the white font, because I just knew it would look better.

and for good measure
