Logo comparison

Before and after logo questions

Q: What are the major differences in these 2 versions?

A: The second one has noticeable text, and is in “cleaned” out compared to the first one. The second one also has more of a focal point to it, which is the text, where as the first one is more of a picture with no focal point.

Q: What design issue caused a change in the final artwork?

A: You have to look at the old logo for a good 15 seconds before you notice “The Mix Show” written on one of the disks. With the other one, you notice it instantly.
