To me, the WHC looks more like something a kid would have as a belt buckle.

Nothing comes close to the 02-05 WWE Title. NOTHING. No, not the Winged Eagle Belt that looks like a Cruiserweight Title. N-O-T-H-I-N-G...

The IC title is beautiful.

That fanmade WWE title with the blue colouration and globe behind the WWE logo was quite nice.

I hate the Intercontinental title, especially the white strap.

The WWE championship is truly terrible. When they first brought it out to replace the non-spinning spinner, I was genuinely impressed they managed to make a design that was actually WORSE than it.

a logo should never be the centerpiece

On the plus side, I'm glad the heavyweight title actually says "Champion" instead of "CHAMP."
Unfortunately, the lettering below the logo is so small that you can barely see it. I get that WWE wanted the new logo front and center, but I think they could have scaled it back just enough to make "World Heavyweight Champion" visible. Totally agree that it needs a globe on the main plate--I'm a sucker for designs like that.
Which is probably why I like the Intercontinental Title. I was never a fan of the previous version, when "Intercontinental Champion" stretched across the front plate with that hilly design.

I love the IC title so much. Just looks respectable. Honestly though I don't mind the new WHC Title. Maybe it's because I hated the spinner with a burning passion that anything would've been a step up. The only person who should've been using that title was Cena.

I love the IC title, but I'd prefer the strap to be black.

I love how the intercontinental championship belt looks. It's just such a perfect throwback and the white strap helps it stand out from all other titles in the company.

Oddly enough, as bad as wrestling belts can be, I still find boxing belts to be far inferior. Those titles Mayweather has look like they are made of plastic and tin foil. The WBC/WBO/WBA/IBF should spend a bit of money and give these boxers some decent looking belts.

The new WWE belt is the ultimate in corporate branding trumping all other factors. If you're putting on a fake sport and want people to suspend their disbelief, having the title look like it represents something (a globe, maybe?) would be productive, but instead it's just the WWE logo. Having the logo visible becomes much more important than creating something you can reasonably believe people want to fight so hard over.
As for the IC belt, yeah, just make the strap black ala the Mr. Perfect and Bret Hart title runs and it's all set.

Honestly, bizarrely enough I think the tag titles are my current favorite design. Though I don't really like any of them that much. Really dislike the Intercontinental belt for that white strap. It worked for Cody - not for anybody else, just make the thing black. Even then though it's too blocky and angular for my tastes.
Granted, I'd take any WWE-style belt over one of those super-thin indy or boxing ones. Those look atrocious.

I never noticed but the continents in the IC belt look like crap. The belt still rules tho.

Who decided the WWE title has to have a massive WWE logo as the centerpiece? It's an awful decision. I just knew that, one day, we'd no longer have the spinner belt, and we'd have a nice looking design without a WWE logo front and center, so when I saw the new one I was pretty bummed. It's now been 10 years since the WWE title looked anywhere near appealing to me.
