Thorpe Park: General Discussion

[OButler]

Lmao what on earth is that

Who approved this. This and the new New UKTV rebrand are the worst things I've ever seen

 

[James Watkins]

Looks like a radio station!

 

[Zeock]

I have to say, I actually quite like it! It’s simple, but quite classy!

The new slogan is also “the home of feel-good thrills”.

Here’s the final branding video, for a bit of additional context and information:


Hopefully this new brand ushers in a new dawn for Thorpe Park after a rough few years!

The logo looks quite retro. I like it, but I prefer the infinity logo, at least for the moment.

It's dreadful. Looks like something from a low budget park 20 years ago. Aside from Drayton, I'm struggling to think of a worse UK park logo.

God, this has only got me hoping Merlin doesn't decide to ruin the logos of Towers and Chessie as well.

Funny you should say that.. my best friend says it looks like their local station's logo...

 

[Trooper Looper]

So... bland... oh no... I'm getting Drayton Manor flashbacks now!

Aside from that, I'm very excited for Thorpe Parks future

Thats my local station also and I thought the exact same

Even Thorpe's logo from 1979 (when it was a bit of a low budget park) was vastly superior to this dull nothingness.

I have always loved logos that have something other than just the words. Alton towers have their towers and flags and Thorpe park had energy infinity rings. Now it just looks like... I don't really know but it doesn't scream theme park to me.

 

[whywhowhere]

I can guarantee within the next few days we'll see every theme park YouTuber react negatively to this logo change... except Jack Silkstone, Thorpe Park's chief propagandist, who probably designed it.

 

[Joeythorpe]

The logo is at the top of thorpes website already, it looks … bad, I’m not sure if it’s gonna grow on me tbh :/

We were all too quick to laugh at Drayton new logo

I hope the GCSE student somehow gets a passing grade for that coursework.

I think Drayton's logo is fine. At least it's made an attempt to be fun with the swirls and stars. Thorpe's new logo is literally just text in fonts that look like they came from Microsoft Word.

 

[Steve74]

Had to do a double-take at the account, for a split second I actually thought it was Towers having a dig at Thorpe!!

 

[AT86]

ICYMI: The new logo. Colours seem to be interchangeable.

Just realised, no ‘Resort’ ?

 

[The_bup]

Thorpe Park... more like Thorpe Business Park.

Like.. there isn’t even a symbol or anything!

 

[Blackhole_Sun]

Wow, just when you think Merlin couldn’t possibly outdo themselves we get this absolute belter.

 

[Skyscraper]

Just realised, no ‘Resort’ ?

They said in the video that they want to be known as a "theme park with onsite accommodation" instead of a "resort ".
