I actually kinda like the NWA logo. Yeah, it's pretty unreadable but it also looks like a 1980s VHS opening logo which I love.
Personally, I think the only problem with the WCW logo is that they used a flat color. ECW had the barbed wire. WWF had chrome. The NWA logo above has gradient shading. WCW was just... blue.
Oh. Well, there you go then.

It's hard to read, it's OVERLY designed, and you know that they spent millions of dollars coming up with it.
It really is a terrible logo.
the Original and WWE versions were relatively plain... but they were readable and memorable.

I can only guess they superimposed the spaceship on the red logo just because they realized nobody know wtf they were looking at if they didn't have it spelled out. Free Goldberg pop up!? SCORE!!!!

Tony Schiavone’s description of the logo sums it up pretty well: the exploding vagina.

That 1999 WCW logo sucked then, and it still sucks now. I guess WCW felt the need to update their logo, since WWF updated theirs to the scratch logo about a year earlier.

Also since the nWo was run into the ground, they realized they had to go back to just WCW (Since they were using that WCW/NWO logo in 98) and probably didn't want to go back to bein the same old WCW thee were prior.... .....instead they thought up of something worse and that dumb logo.

That is one good thing about the spaceship WCW logo: it got rid of the WCW/nWo company branding. And just for historical sake, pointing out that the spaceship logo made it on two WCW titles (both short lived for different reasons) WCW Hardcore Championship: WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship:

Also my initial thoughts when it became WCW's logo was "Why are they trying to rip off Star Trek?"

I was 12 at the time and my reaction was "what the bloody hell is that supposed to be?".
Now it looks like some sort of eldridge horror that is coming out of a women's vagina.

I always look at this logo as the end of WCW for me as a fan. I lost so much interest right around the time the logo switched.

Say what you will. But the arrival of that set and the inclusion of Mark Madden in the booth was what killed wcw.

Didn't like it then, don't like it now. Took me forever to even see the letters.
