Thorpe Park: General Discussion

[Rob]

I do think that the logo looks better with the swirls behind it, however, this application of gold logo on gold swirls which they used in a Hyperia update last night is not good at all:



The gold on gold, with similar colours in the background also, make the logo difficult to read. It feels like they are forgetting the basics of graphic design, and this is coming from someone who has zero experience in that field!

I don't know how else to describe it other than: it looks like the opening to a stop motion film Can't put my finger on why!

 

[James]

You would think with that particular graphic, they would have the swirls in gold and the logo in white since that's the colour of Hyperia's track...

The gold on gold doesn’t work but the 3D effect over the swirls makes it look more like a logo.

They should have jut simplified the logo they had or just keep the text.

There arn't many cases of companies completely changing it to the extent where it looks completely different:

Something similar to below would've been a better evolution of the logo IMO.

That’s actually really cool.

Yeah would have looked better if the ‘Thorpe park’ font was white, but then that wouldn’t have stood out against the sky. Difficult!

That POV is pathetic.

 

[AT86]

That POV is pathetic.

It’s tree-mendous.

 

[Skyscraper]

It’s tree-mendous.

Wood you believe it.

 

[Benzin]

That POV is pathetic.

I mean its Rumba Rapids, not exactly gold standard for the ride type.

Not that any Rapid based POV is particularly good.

 

[BarryZola]

DId they even view it before uploading it to Youtube? Some crazy quality control going on down at Thorpe in recent weeks.

 

[Stuie]

It’s the POV if you’re laying on the floor of the boat looking at the sky

What about the seven other perfectly good POV’s? I think we can handle one stinker. Certainly better than Alton towers PoV game!

 

[siralgenon]

And it's the wrong theme tune that's the old one.

 

[pjanvil]

I prefer the old Rumba Rapids theme, very jolly and happy

Colossus' Cobra Roll is being repainted! Love the TLC they're giving it this year so far!

Especially in that picture, the contrast between the repainted track and the non-repainted track is astonishing.

I think that’s because it’s grey primer.

 

[Zeock]

I think that’s because it’s grey primer.

After looking a bit more closely, this does seem to be the case. The repainted track still looks really good, though.

If I didn't know any better, I would have thought that was a screenshot of the Dark Carnival campaign from Left 4 Dead 2.
