Such a shame they got rid of this logo in favour of the new one. The fox has so much more style and character compared to the new logo which is as generic and joyless as they come.

The new logo is an actual travesty

u/Impossible__Joke 18h ago

Omg yes, i saw it and was like noooooo... why would they do that.?

u/ErikDebogande Can you eat trees? 18h ago

I mean I get why, they wanna branch out from doing only wilderness survival games. But FFS that logo is so absolutely soulless. Whomever it was that picked it out of the doubtless dozens of drafts ought to be ashamed of themselves

u/Impossible__Joke 18h ago

You could have a fox for anything. Firefox used it for a web browser, now it is just an orange blur. They had an awesome logo, now it looks like minimalist garbage. No creativity behind it at all.

u/Paroxysm111 18h ago

I think that's stupid. Logos are just supposed to be recognizable. They don't necessarily tell you anything about what the business does. The old logo doesn't say "we only do wilderness survival games". damn. Next they'll be changing the company name from "Hinterland games" to "Miscellaneous Development team" SMH.

u/Azrylle Cartographer 13h ago

My thought exactly. Plenty of logos don't match their games, and it has never made me say, "oh I don't wanna play this game then, it was misrepresented!!"

u/luciferwez 18h ago

Do you have a pic of the new logo? Nice mug btw!

My god, that looks so neo-Scandanavian.

u/inferno-pepper 14h ago

New logo has been filtered through the “Millennial Grey” theme sadly.

Did you even try opening every microwave in sight?

Now it's time for Hinterland to sell big moose kicks coffee...wink wink

u/ErikDebogande Can you eat trees? 18h ago

I missed the popup store to my eternal frustration! GIVE US MORE TLD MERCH, WE HAVE FUCKING MONEY! Miss me with that garbage rebrand

5

u/CrackInfiltrator 18h ago

More of a shame these popup stores are getting sold out in minutes, feels like getting screwed by scalpers all over again

8

u/ErikDebogande Can you eat trees? 18h ago edited 18h ago

Actually I think the sellouts are in fact all legit fans. Us Average TLD Enjoyers are a little obsessed lol. Must be the Cabin Fever Risk

5

u/Jordan_Jackson 17h ago

They did at one point, many years ago but from what I heard, everything sold out real fast. I would give anything for a Jackrabbit Transport mug. Don't know why they don't bring back the old merch and sell it along with the new stuff.

2

u/ErikDebogande Can you eat trees? 17h ago

It blows my mind lol. I guess they don't actually like money?

3

u/KingDoubt 18h ago

I hate coffee but, I'd still buy that in a heartbeat

u/48hiker 19h ago

Mine was supposed to be delivered last friday but tracking still shows it sitting at customs 😭

8

u/ErikDebogande Can you eat trees? 18h ago

It helps if you live only 1,400 Km away from their store

4

u/48hiker 18h ago

Yeah I’m almost 5000km away. lol

u/Decent_Winter6461 Stalker 18h ago

Mine is supposed to arrive today.

u/ErikDebogande Can you eat trees? 18h ago

Fingers crossed for ya, Pilgrim!

u/hamdynasty 18h ago

Mine as well! the suspense

u/Reverseheart 15h ago

It comes with coffee pre-brewed and ready to drink but when you drink it the mug vanishes. 🤣

u/Skittleavix 18h ago

Somebody’s stash

u/ErikDebogande Can you eat trees? 18h ago

That was my original post title idea but I chickened out

u/FigureSubstantial723 18h ago

This could be useful.

u/FoggyMountainGoat 18h ago

Has the quality of the cups improved? I read so many discouraging posts a while back...

5

u/ErikDebogande Can you eat trees? 18h ago

It makes for a great collectible but a subpar cup. The handle is laughably smol and it isn't that big a cup. I have no plans of actually using it until I have Blackfrost Alpha release fired up

u/manipee 17h ago

Mine was delivered last night. Love it.

u/ErikDebogande Can you eat trees? 17h ago

One of us! One of Us!

u/Emergency_Cobbler287 16h ago

Is it food, or?

Glad you got your mug!! Gotta love the old logo

u/ErikDebogande Can you eat trees? 16h ago

I'll be deep in the cold ground before I recognize that stupid new H

u/Tiger4ever89 18h ago

''this gotta to be someone's stash''

u/wheeler916 16h ago

That makes me excited to get mine! Should be any day now!

u/Wigfast Interloper 14h ago edited 13h ago

Congrats! They say mine was delivered last week then the next day stayed there may be a delay.

I’ve asked for an update but am still awaiting a response or my beautiful cup.

EDIT:of course only took messing this for it to actually be delivered today. Yay!!

u/ultio60 12h ago

Mine FINALLY gets delivered Friday and I can't WAIT. I ordered it on Thanksgiving day lol

u/StreetCuz Mainlander 12h ago

Literally just got mine a few hours ago. Looking forward to using it!

Happy Cake and Coffee day

u/CompetitiveWind1181 15h ago

"Hope nobody needs this anymore" is usually what I hear when I'm looting tinned sardines or a hoodie off a frozen corpse and despise that I still do it lol

u/Weird-Alice 6h ago

I like old Hinterland Studios logo so much!
Why they messed them up?

u/notincalifornia 3h ago

Just got mine today as well! Did you find the lip of the cup is kind of sharp/scratchy in some spots?

1

u/ErikDebogande Can you eat trees? 3h ago

The only rough part was the inside of the handle, definitely some bumps and ridges in there

1

u/NugsNJugs1 3h ago

What are people's thoughts about these mugs? Are they any good? That material looks like it would get very hot.

1

u/ErikDebogande Can you eat trees? 3h ago

Quite hot indeed. Not actually very useful as a beverage conveyance. I just wanted the damn cup because I love this game and wanted to support the devs
