I don’t mind the WWE championship logo. But the womens and universal titles should look different. Surprised I’m saying this but for the next evolution I think they should borrow from the UFC Belts.

I honestly I don't think I ever like. WWE World Title( the main title itself)
I think the eagle is too cheesy,the Spinner is stupid looking and the Big Logo with Diamonds is tacky.

Wow, the title scene has more lazy palette swaps than an early 2000s Sonic forum.

Oh no, what the hell have they done to the IC title?
Surprisingly I really like the new NXT title. The us tilte is the one belt that should be ott garish so an unusual situation of liking the design but wish it was for a different championship.
I'm a bad person to ask though, I dislike or an apathetic to most designs. Really wish I'd seen something before the winged eagle, it's created an ideal nothing can live up to.

Really wish I'd seen something before the winged eagle, it's created an ideal nothing can live up to. Well, scroll up a bit and you get the Winged Eagle's direct predecessor, dubbed the "Hogan 86" as that's the title he had in his first reign from 1986 until just before he lost it in 88 at the first "The Main Event" show (funnily, he has the Hogan 86 in the pre-match promo, but for the match itself he has the Winged Eagle when he loses to Andre via shenanigans). For the heck of it, here's all the previous designs before the Hogan 86, as best researched as I could find: Buddy Rogers' version (the circle had a picture of him in the center)...only used a short bit before Sammartino beat him: Next the design most associated with Bruno Sammartino: Following that a design that was used from Pedro Morales' run up until midway through Bob Backlund's first run, with some strap variation during the time "Superstar" Billy Graham held it. After that came Big Green, held by Backlund for the rest of his first reign, Iron Sheik, and was the first version of the title Hogan had in his first reign: In 1985 Hogan would switch to what is dubbed the "Hogan 85": And though never televised, they did try this belt for Hogan between the 85 and the 86 (while interesting, I guess they thought the picture-center was too heelish, like Rogers' version and Moolah's old Women's title): Lastly, just because I like it, there was this teased title they made in the build-up for WrestleMania III, with it kayfabe made specifically for Andre "when" he beat Hogan: Then the history is known (Winged Eagle (with Warrior changing strap color during his reign), Block Logo Attitude with Blue Strap, Smoking Skull, The more known Attitude Era, Undisputed, Spinner, Scratch logo Big Logo, Current Logo big logo).

Did anyone prefer this version of the belt? I think at the time it was for up and comers who won this title, then they shortly afterwards was on Raw or Smackdown.

Was a good design, though the look really best worked with Paige when she had it IMO. Went well with her overall look. Speaking of prior NXT titles though, I do miss the "mirrored" look for the old NXT Tag Titles:

There's one in between the Buddy Rogers one and the one everyone associates with Bruno. It looks like a prototype of the one after it. After Morales won it he had a shitty, looks worse then a backyard fed boxing knock off. The before the one that Billy Graham is associated with was another for under a year that looked like the Graham belt prototype. The eagle looked too close to a Nazi eagle I believe. Hogan had the Hogan 84, a less detailed version of the 85. That's it... I think.

Nothing beats the Winged Eagle. While I do have nostalgic feelings for the Winged Eagle, as it was the version when I started watching in 94...looking back I think my favorite may still be the (never officially used) Andre 87. Just screams important to me for some reason.

Next the design most associated with Bruno Sammartino: Following that a design that was used from Pedro Morales' run up until midway through Bob Backlund's first run, with some strap variation during the time "Superstar" Billy Graham held it. This is my first time seeing either of these and they're tremendous. Especially the blue one

I'd kinda want a compromise of the two (as I've never been a fan of the scratch logo, either F or E): current logo but with the "CHAMPION" banner of the scratch logo version of it.
