OMG it's sooooooooooooooo UGLY.

"Blizzard" is too many letters to fit into a icon.

They should either make the icon include only the "B", or even better, make the Battle.net logo the Blizzard logo so that it can be retained as the icon for the app.

This makes it doubly frustrating that they changed 'Blizzard Allstars' to the obscure Heroes of the Storm.

I'm convinced that BAlls would have been a far bigger mainstream success than HotS.

I would convince all my friends to play BAlls with me.

should just call it blizzard.net or bnet for short

that way no one notices the change
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

I can accept a name change using the same B.net logo, but having a scrunched up "Blizz" to serve as a logo is kinda silly.

They should adopt a new logo to use as their icons or use the old battle.net logo as the "Blizzard" logo.

Yeah this new logo is just ugly I changed it back for the shortcut. Unfortunately I can't do that for the .exe.

Edit: Shouldnt that also mean a rebrand for the battle.net site? Everything else just seems halfhearted.

So many strange decisions by Blizz... Why the hell you needed to change the thing which was known for almost 20 years I don't get it...

'Battle.net required update' then suddenly it's gone RIP

Also marketing must be feeling great now that battlenet is dead but the blizzard logo as a square icon in my taskbar looks terrible. It's just a mess with so little pixels.

omg, what the hell is that thing?

they should have made it like valve, where they choose something related to a Blizzard. Oh wait they had that with the Bnet short.
Curious if this will have a positiv effect and then everyone else will follow suit with their online store names xD.

idk, EA has Origin, Riot have PVP.net, Valve has Steam. Maybe Blizzard th ought the name was kinda redundant because its used exclusively for Blizzard games, its not really a 3rd party store like origin and Steam can be. Does Riot use PVP.net for anything?

There is an update btw.

The name Battle.net will stay, but they will add Blizzard to the Logo and call it "Blizzard Battle.net" in print.

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

FYI, today's update to the desktop client officially included a name change to Blizzard App, along with a new icon (the Blizzard logo). Alas, this means the end of the cool-looking Battle.net icon which was designed by none other than XG3 of StarCraft Legacy fame.


nooooo
