The new logo/icons with "Blizzard" cramped into it looks bad.
Same with the info icon "BLIZ".
Battle.net was just a nice name, great short version "bnet" and had a decent logo.
Pretty dumb. Battle net was a nice name.
Battle.net is so iconic, I don't know why they would drop it now. It's like Valve deciding to give Steam a new name like "Valve App". It sounds horrible.
It also has lovable auto-playing youtube videos.
y'know, that shit that should've been left in 2009
it will always be battle.net to me no matter what
End of an era
The system tray icon looks like "Buz"
the logo looks silly, but i can get behind the name change. battle.net just sounded so outdated

Outdated? Maybe. But also outdated in a good way, in the sense that Blizzard is historically well known for producing world class online platforms.
I didn't grow up playing any Blizzard games and only downloaded battle.net when I got Overwatch, but I understand a lot of you guys did grow up with Battle.net. Even still, you have to admit it sounds a bit too much like it's from the late 90s (because it is). I can't blame them for wanting to sound more up-to-date.
Though I can't say "Blizzard Tech" is a big improvement, other companies have done worse makeovers for their platforms.

I think the logo is fine. Pretty contemporary, kinda reminds me of Nvidia's GeForce logo.

Still can't believe they've had the same name for so damn long

Even longer.
It looks like a beta from the 2000's
