I've always thought that the MM's cover was so hard to read and the mosaic pieces are weird.

I prefer C-ute's. It's a lot easier to read the song titles. I really like the cut out fade to white they have on C-ute's. Looks less awkward than the random circle cut on MM.

Not too bothered by the logo change. The old one was boring anyway.

I'm not sure I would have noticed it unless someone pointed it out. Not for a while, anyway.

What do you want? They're the mature group in H!P now, which sometimes means "simple but classy", and that logo captures it just fine.

The name itself is going to become a problem soon, if they stay together and not "go on hiatus" like Berryz. Idol groups aren't meant to last this long, at least not with the same lineup all steadily growing older, so what was cute (pun intended) in their early teens became ironic in their late teens and will become straight-up weird in their early twenties.

Ahh... It's not really a logo anymore though, it's just a font... no design in it at all. The kerling and balance is a bit off with the "C-" as well. What was nice about the old logo is that it flowed really well together and I really liked how the degree smashed up against the "C". On the covers it especially doesn't look like a design at all. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but I don't agree that the old logo didn't fit with their current image, and I think their name will also work perfectly fine as well. They've completely changed the image of what I think when I hear "Kyuuto". But I also wasn't in to them at all until Crazy Kanzen so I don't associate the name and image of them with anything but what they are now.

Tbh that 45-degree rotation on the ° symbol is going to drive me nuts for a while. It's a generally a no-no to have an inconsistent axis or angle of stress in a font.

About the name, that's fine. I mean, Kinki Kids, etc. It's just a name, it doesn't really mean anything. Anybody remember The Brilliant Green? How come they never dressed in Brilliant Green, gotdangit???
