The brand new MYM identity

Welcome to the new and improved MYM, which today besides a new identity also can pride itself with its 5th anniversary, an age which is not that common for a professional team.

But to jump right to the point, the devil has been the body of the MYM brand for the past 5 years, our corporate identity as some would call it and we have several times experimented with different logo's and styles to find the right one. Now, after 5 years, we believe we have found the one who shall guide and pride us over the next many years.

The CEO of MYM, Mark Peter 'Mercy' Fries, had a few words to share with you on this occation:

Brands and logos in professional gaming have become an important thing over the past years. especially due to the evolution in our area, and words like identification, pride, association and fan cultures spring to mind. In marketing, a brand is the symbolic embodiment of all the information connected with a product or service. A brand typically includes a name, logo, and other visual elements such as images or symbols. It also encompasses the set of expectations associated with a product or service which typically arise in the minds of people and with the new MYM brand we believe we fulfill all of these. I believe that we finally can say our brand achived visual perfection.

We are sure that all our fans out there will embrace our new brand and logo and love it as much as we do. A brand that over the next years will manifest itself in the top of professional gaming.

I like the new logo and the mascot, looks nice. But it seems to me that you completely dropped "MeetYourMakers" and just want to be known as mYm... that's sad in my opinion, MeetYourMakers is a name which can survive in the professional esports world and is a nice alternative to the sterile names many teams have. I also hope that a header will be added soon, a site without header looks strange :p

btw. your old logo was also very nice, I am wondering why you changed it at all... couldn't you have kept the logo and added the devil as a mascot? :p The problem in the new logo is that it's too complicated for some usages... your old one was just two squaders with another red squader between them.
But nice anyway. x)

we always had a devil as our mascot.. lol :P

well i better like the old site. the logo is cool (but the logo in middle of main page is VERY annoying).
The colours of the ''main menu'' '' the loung'' to left are ugly :p
its not good there only are room for 4 news imo :/.
anyway i like most of the ''improves'' only those little things i dislike

I liked the old design better as well, but as Rob says, I guess I just need to get used to it.

You always had the devil, but it was in the shadow for a long time and almost never appeared on the website. Like you could have put him into the banner..... btw. give him a name please :p

Proposition: If you call him "Lari", I'll become a big mYm fan! x)

Good teams in mYm but the tag is seriously the most horrid i ever seen. mYm sounds and looks so bad. Maybe change it a bit :)

M Y M, that's how it sounds ( EM WAI EM ), hehe

Thanks for all the compliments, and for the few who don't like it: we won't change it back, so maybe think of how to improve it instead of asking us to switch it back :)

For instance I have changed the devil in the middle now, so he won't come back after clicked away until the page reloads. ( Sniff, wasted some time to create the coming back function )

Your new logo is quite good, but the rest of the site is SO confusing.

To many colours makes it too overwhelming to look at.
28 options in your menu is just tooooo much. Maybe you could hide "The Lounge" so only lounge members could see it?
The main content is just lame, sorry. Scene news, articels, coverage, the lounge, latest and other main news, and all that stuff in the bottom makes this site looks like ****.
Guys... Make your site simple and easy to use. Play.it and 4k's websites are imo the best sites. Even the site of SK is better now, which I have always seen as crap.
I hope you can and will use my point of veiw :/

#40 - I don't agree with you at all, we didn't make this page for it to be boring to look at and we are a colorful bunch anyway, so i guess it suits. Only thing I am missing is the header, we have heavy debate about that intern ;) But besides that i find it great and a tad different than the usual community and team sites.

Remember our slogan: Esport out of the ordinary.

Well its cool that you guys make a different homepage, but I just think its to much.
But you could atleast do a site with a taste of layout :(

But if the average gamer is satisfied then its okay with me :p

Congrats with the 5 years and the logo is very nice indeed. But i have to say that i find the new design badly arranged. The header should come back again. You get to much text slapped in your face at first eyesight.
