I love the Attitude and Winged Eagle belts...so I'd probably go back to one of those myself.
I didn't mind the Undisputed belt...but I don't understand why they changed it to that belt...it just wasn't as special looking.
The spinner belt is a John Cena rap gimmick belt...I have no idea why they keep it around for everyone...it makes no sense. They didn't do it for the US belt. To me it says that Vince is telling the audience, no matter who has the belt at the time, it's Cena's. And thats wrong.
As for a new design...I really don't like the IC belt, the US belt, the World Tag belts, the Womens belt or the Divas belt. The ECW belt design was atrocious. So a new belt design might wind up being even worse.

I would come up with a total new design, something gothic and evil looking, like a belt made out of skulls that spell "W W E" in they eye sockets and the sides of the belt are like bat wings.
Altho this would look out of place on guys other than taker, it would still look damn good. Its not like the spinner doesnt look out of place on guys outside of Cena!

Only thing I'd do is combine the belts from both brands into one championship.

I just feel like as long as the no longer Spinner belt is the WWE Championship belt, John Cena is the Champion. It doesn't matter who holds it, it's the John Cena belt. To me, it was a gimmick that should have lasted 6 months (like the Smoking Skull belt). I feel like at this point more fans want it replaced than want it kept. I never liked the design and always felt like they were trying to alienate certain fans away from the product in order to get new "mainstream" fans. Whatever, I guess I'll just go back to my xbox.

in 2004, I got an $800 tax return while I was in college...I used the money to buy my first actual gigging equipment (amp and cab) and with the remainder I bought the Winged Eagle replica...it's the staple of my childhood. I have the WCW World and WCW US belts as well in a wood and glass display case...
...I get laid so much....

THIS: would make a comeback if I were running things. You can still sell the "Spinner belt" replicas as a souvenier...you don't HAVE to keep the main title in the company looking like it belongs SOLELY to John Cena to do that. I don't understand WHY people assume that; I mean, it's not like if that "Spinner" is not the main title being used on RAW, they won't sell one more single replica of it. It will still sell...and all of Cena's little fans won't forget overnight that they loved that belt design. And it would be stupidly easy to have Sheamus pull a "Mr. Perfect" and destroy Cena's prized title in a fit of rage...or pull an "Austin" and chuck it into a river or a lake (lach?). Whereupon you have Vince show up and debut the "new" design for the WWE Title at the PPV where Cena and Sheamus face off.

lol what makes this poll "official"? Have all the other polls I have voted at been unofficial? In all seriousness anything that's not the Cena/spinner belt is an improvement.

I'd come up with a new belt. Probably something that takes something from all the old belts and probably have a new logo similar to the WWE HD logo and have that in the center. Probably would be like if you combine the ROH World Title and the old winged eagle belt.

I think this is the best idea I've ever heard and endorse it ten hundred percent.

If not the Attitude belt (sans the F of course), I could go for the ROH title idea. I'm not totally against a belt with a giant WWF logo on it, its just that they're are SO many problems with the current belt. For one, it has "champ" instead of champion on the front. And that it is always going to be associated with John Cena and that stupid spinner fad.

If Cena ever does turn heel, he should tear the spinner out of the belt, throw it on the ground, and stomp on it, setting him up to debut a new one.

That belt apparently cost some ridiculous amount of money to make, so I don't think it's going anywhere any time soon.
I think it's just really gaudy, though. I can't think of any other belt in any combat sport (worked or shoot) that looks as classless as that thing does.

Exactly. 10 or so years from now, when WWE eventually hopefully changed the belt design, and people think back to the previous belt, they're not going to remember some of the great feuds and matches that were fought over it, or the champions who held it. 98% percent of those people are going to think "Oh, that's John Cena's belt". Yeah, you don't want that. ^Or, Matt Hardy become champ, eat the belt, and we have to get a new one. [/joke] Fixed.
