Join Us Oct. 15th to Celebrate 10 Years of League

Riot··17 votes·128,237 views

This year, we're celebrating the ten year anniversary of League of Legends! Join us on October 15th, 2019 as we kick things off with livestreams and events, including a 10th Anniversary Edition of Riot Pls that starts at 6:00pm PST.

In the 10th Anniversary Edition Riot Pls, we'll take a look back at our favorite League moments and share a glimpse of the future, including a first look at this year's preseason changes and TFT's next big content update.

Every day we see about 8 million peak concurrent players in League.* That makes League the biggest PC game in the world—it's even bigger than the top ten games on Steam combined. Together, we’ve built a thriving community around the world, and we want to show our appreciation for all of you. If you're not able to catch the celebration on October 15th, don't worry. We'll rebroadcast the livestream throughout the following day.

We think this is the perfect time to set the stage for the next ten years by modernizing the official League of Legends logo. Check out the new look above!

Remember to save the date and join us on October 15th, 2019 with your party hats and golden spatulas ready. See you soon!

*Calculated as League's average daily PCU (peak concurrent users) for all Riot, Tencent, and Garena regions during the month of August

Same The "old" logo is modern enough The "new" one lacks the class that the game has and doesn't really fit with the theme

"Class" is the last word I think of after being greifed by a 1/17 yasuo in my ranked games. [sg-ahri-1]

Wow, they might actually make League mobile. Rito wants their game to die.

Same, the current one is way better. Not everything needs to be changed and modernized.

Yep. The old one is much more distinctive.

Can I report the riot logo design team for griefing? April 1st is still a few months away, save this logo announcement for then

That new logo is way to minimalist. If the 10th anniversary is actually meant to be a big deal, then this isn’t gonna cut it.

Love the ideas here. Hate the logo. Pls keep the old one or try again.

Pleroma207 votes

My goodness no please not that logo. Even new players would agree our current league logo looks better than a random gold colored font. It’s not just the older players lol.

New logo is trash. The current logo is iconic. Whatever Test Group convinced you this was good needs to be put out of their misery

I always wished there would be a legacy game mode for a 10 year anniversary for the game where we could bring back some of the things that may have gotten a lot of players hooked on the game, like old summoners rift, pre reworked characters, old items, etc. A game mode that generate a sense of nostalgia for the game that some have been playing for a decade now would be an extremely good fit for the ten year anniversary of this game.

I agree with you, simple as that.for me was soraka who could give mana and heal minions haha that was fun times.

Please don't change the logo...

If you couldn’t tell. Nostalgia is hitting the market pretty big. Minecraft making a comeback. Modern warfare coming back and is suppose to play like the old cods. Halo mcc on pc, people being upset when you removed the gauntlent mouse clicker. It’s not that people just hate change and change is good. It’s that your new modern designs are so minimal and take away from the actual theme of the game. Why not make the classic logo look better? Why not make the gauntlent look better? Why remove something from the game that gives it so much character and adds to the lore and vibe of the game itself? Minimalism is not always cool.

Colorful Dream56 votes

Well said. It's a homogenization of identity, and I don't get why. Make League look like League. Go hard in the direction of unique style and design.

Chaseuuu129 votes

Ah yes, 10 years of LEAGUE lets talk about TFT's next big content update to celebrate LEAGUE.

Pancaked71 votes

Seriously. I was so confused reading this. A logo update that looks worse and a change to TFT? Hello? Where's the part where we celebrate LEAGUE OF LEGENDS? Anyone with a brain could tell you this is not even remotely close to what the community wanted.

Not loving the new logo, looks too generic

TheStoneThinker102 votes

The new logo looks like you were attempting to make it modern, sure, with all those hard angles and lack of background. But it loses so much character. There's no hint of magic, no prestige. The font is uninteresting, but somehow uncomfortably busy for a logo with no background, like a design student's first PowerPoint presentation. The lack of a background takes away any feeling of being self-contained. The old one you could put on a badge, or a bag, or a statue; it feels solid. The new one is literally full of holes; it takes on the quality of whatever's behind it and thus feels weak. It feels like a movie's logo, not a game's; it feels like it should be slowly expanding on a moving background, not static.

There were clearly design principles behind the new logo; after all, it all uses the same font and you wanted the "of" to be larger, so it is. But you've lost the original feel of it, the one that says "this is a game about ancient magic and epic battles," and replaced it with a logo that says "this is an e-sport logo," or "I am an ancient block of inexplicably decorative gold."

Here's the real issue, I think: It's hard to tell that the new logo is special. I had to long and hard to tell that there were grooves in the gold letters. The lighting gradient is unclear, and it's impossible to tell if it's coming from a torch, or a magic light, or a cloudy sky, or the gold itself is glowing unevenly. It's bland, and for a game that prides itself on the variety and diversity of its characters and (?gameplay?), that is a cardinal sin.

The best 10th Anniversary gift you could give is a Treeline update not deletion :)

Prefer Crystal Scar for hide and seek purposes

mvmlego18 votes

This. It doesn't even need a visual update, IMO, since it looks a lot better than the old Summoner's Rift did. It just needs a strong balance pass and maybe some modification of the lanes and terrain to give them more similar proportions to SR.

Why change the logo when you could just improve the old one. Like give it a recolour or new font, something along those lines.

DraisonSquishy87 votes

The logo we have right now is amazing it gives it the fantasy feel that the game is. Please riot listen to your fans, the people who make this even possible, just this once and keep the old logo.

CitanOsumi80 votes

Really not a fan of the new logo, if modernized means generic ya hit the nail on the head. Your original one was fine please just keep using that one!

ExiledStarlight66 votes

I think it'd be cool to see, instead of this "modernized" logo that looks generic to see something that is like the current logo upgraded, perhaps with more flair

Deep Terror Nami65 votes

hey guys someone hacked in and substituted your new logo for a third party knockoff

silenced death59 votes

The old logo looks way better, the design and shape of even just the background of the old logo is a symbol for league. The new logo just looks generic and seems like a logo for a start up company, not a logo for the biggest PC game in the world. The old logo (along with the old riot logo) are what players remember.

Hard Pass. Just update the current one a little.

plz DON'T change the logo
new one sucks

That new logo sucks. The old logo actually had me believe the game was cool and touches on the idea of the game. The new one is like. Mobile game click bait.

hazeleyes5729 votes

Congrats on the upcoming anniversary! Not a fan of the new logo, though -- the game is deep and rich, and the new logo is the exact opposite of that.

New logo looks like a WIP of the current logo LUL

BloodyMaxx27 votes

Happy birthday. Is that lux in the bg? I don't really like the new font :/

Magoni16 votes

That is lux in the bg And the new logo is kinda meh

Doctor Drek24 votes

I never write comments or posts on the forums but I feel like I need to voice my opinion here. As a years long player of league I really feel like the new logo is an absolute downgrade from the previous one. This new one doesnt have any soul to it. It could be replicated in photoshop in ten minutes. The old logo was bold, iconic, and something that was instantly associated with the theme that league tries to portray. Please riot, reconsider this new logo or revert to the old one.

I know k6 says change is good, but y'all don't need to change EVERYTHING, some stuff is fine the way it is. I still use the OG cursor and I see no reason to change the logo, it already epic as hell

Jarlaxul21 votes

Please do not use this Logo. I find it hard to believe that the creative people at Riot cannot come up with something better than this.

Pleroma19 votes

The modernized logo looks like a font used for them hard cover books.

not real gosu18 votes

I was hoping riot would do something fun and meaningful for the community like a season 1 or season 3 summoners rift map skin to play on or something. Guess we get to talk about the good times instead XD

Freshwound18 votes

I can't put the words any better than the rest of my peers, but the logo is fine, and the NEW logo...is hardly a logo. It's a font. Please don't make this change and follow the community's opinion about the old one (either spruce it up a tiny bit, or just keep it the same). This reminds me of the cursor change cuz it was (outdated)...just unnecessary changed to "modernize". Don't change the attitude towards becoming modern, just not this time.

teagore7 votes

Bruh what’s up with everyone bashing the logo? I personally like the new logos and the modernised pbe. I like the new direction.

4sh Ketchup39 votes

Well everyone has an opinion, if you want me to explain why i don’t like it i’ll tell you that it looks like someone opened word and selected a gold font and just typed the letters "L e a g u e o f L e g e n d s" It’s lazy, too simple, not fitting the theme of LoL. But you know... that’s my opinion.
