ATLANTA – July 2014 – Dragon Con, Atlanta’s
internationally known pop culture, fantasy and sci-fi convention, has a new logo,
the first update in almost 20 years.
The
new Dragon Con logo
features a dragon in profile contained within a circle, with the Dragon Con name
arching across the middle. The new
colors are blue and gold with a touch of red, giving the design a bold and
contemporary look.
“It
was time to freshen up our logo, but it was important to maintain some
continuity with the past,” said President Pat Henry.
“The new logo honors our past, but also gives us something that represents
Dragon Con’s present and future.”
The
new logo design translates the former logo into a flatter graphic image which
should become iconic and stand the test of time. The design is also easily
translated into black and white from its rich color palette. The sleek new logo
has modern appeal, but still reflects the convention's humble beginnings.
“We are not the same show that we were back in
1995. We have experienced tremendous growth,
morphing from a small convention that catered to a few specific interests into
one embraced by the mainstream culture that encompasses so many aspects of
fandom,” Henry said. “As we continue to
grow and evolve, we believe our logo should reflect that.”
The
modernized logo comes on the heels of the decision to update
the convention name from Dragon*Con to Dragon Con, as the
convention renews its style to reflect that of its membership and offering the
best of pop culture, fantasy and sci-fi to its members in the 21st
century.
