On Valentines Day, TK casually mentioned that Dynamite would be receiving a brand new set post-Revolution. Today, AEW posted an ad promoting an upcoming Winnipeg show that ended with what seems like a new logo for their Wednesday show: General thoughts on what seems like a drastic redesign for Dynamite?

Curious how it looks, they'd been implementing a few new things like LED outside barricades and such over the last few weeks
The logo's interesting, they've never changed the logo before it's always relatively stayed the same, need to see how the sets accompany it
No LED ring posts please it's like the one thing I ask...

It's hard to tell how it looks given it's against the Canadian tour backdrop so will need to wait and see to make any sort of judgement.

Dynamite has been feeling more and more like Raw and Smackdown. There is way too much LED and screens now. I really miss the original Dynamite set with 2 entrance tunnels (1 for heels and 1 for faces) with a smaller screen above. I hope for a more simple and easy set.
100% with NO LED ring posts please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I don't hate the logo so far. It's certainly more visually interesting than "DYNAMITE" in a plain block font.
Will have to see how it looks with the new set that's coming. Hoping to see the return of the tunnels.

I really hope they get away from red, blue, green and I guess gold. Too much use in wrestling plus green makes me think GFW. Or at least go with some different shades of them.
Not a fan of the new typeface but that could be just the shock of new. I do agree with cutting down on over the top set elements, it's too WWE for me. A little bit is neat, the security rails for instance, but try and establish your own thing. It's why I like Dynamite having the announcers on the stage instead of ringside like Collision.

I imagine the actual new set will offer them more flexibility on booking venues. The current one needs a lot of space both in terms of its full form and getting all of it into the building. You can have a more modest set that is still major league but with more flexibility. I don't mind the LED personally. It makes transitioning shows (Dynamite to Rampage or Collision to ROH) very very easy but it can likely be toned down a bit.

I was trying to think what the logo's colors reminded me of. Now I remember.

The old logo was super basic so I'm cool with a change but that is a WWE-ass logo

Oh my god that looks SO much cooler. Far less generic and sleeker. That logo has character.
All they need to do now is buff out the scratches in AEW. You’re not ECW, Tony, you’re a major league company that sponsors actually want to work with.

With you 100%. I even think the LED stuff they have now is too much. No one should ever flip to AEW and wonder if it’s a WWE branded show, and it’s starting to look like it.

I know it's a rainbow fade across the letters, but the E at the end really stands out oddly. I hope AEW doesn't add more LEDs and lights, I can barely tolerate the level they have now. I hate the look of the WWE shows because it's such an assault on the senses.

All they need to do now is buff out the scratches in AEW. You’re not ECW, Tony, you’re a major league company that sponsors actually want to work with. I think they already streamlined the logo fairly recently, it just hasn't been updated across all the existing show logos (like Rampage). I love the new logo and I'm hoping the gradient is teasing a return to the the color run look from the beginning, at least in spirit. Honestly, this is the first *actual* logo that Dynamite has had when you really think about it, because I'd barely call the existing logo a logo, it's literally just a wordmark in a relatively basic sans serif font. And I get it, because back at the beginning they were selling the AEW identity first and foremost, and I can understand why the original logo is basically AEW!!!!dynamite when you think about it. But now AEW is reasonably established and it's okay for things to evolve a bit. It's kind of funny to me seeing the pushback against the supposed WWE-ifying of AEW, particularly in regards to the stage setup, since I recall quite a few unfavorable comparisons of the heel/face tunnel setup to the Impact Zone. That being said, I'd be quite cool with them bringing back the entrance tunnels and I'd also be cool with some more physical bits on the stage. Give me a big '96 Nitro style AEW logo that they can shoot fireworks out of or that Darby can jump off of.

I loved the tunnels and the paint explosion graphics Dynamite started with. Less is more for weekly shows and go all out for PPVs/special shows, IMO.

Just please please please no CGI/AR. Otherwise, I think the redesign looks pretty good.

You’re not ECW, Tony, you’re a major league company that sponsors actually want to work with. I respectfully disagree. I know I sound fickle because I was screaming for a redesign, but I miss the old tattered logo in comparison to the new: it’s too slick and polished. As for the dynamite logo design, I dig it. It reminds me of the design of the “shows” for old f-feds I use to do.
