Equestria Girls

[Malicieuse]

I'll be happy if they go with a Blythe-style look to it (like the Neo-blythes.)

Hasbro does own the Blythe line now, so it's not a bad outlook onto it.

That seems like a reasonable possibility!  Whatever they do- I am curious as to the outcome.  Wonder when we'll see them?

I believe there will be some kind of official reveal at comiccon. : )

*sigh*
When I first heard about these, I was like
nopenopenopenope
Hasbro, please...
please stop 

It's awful

Right now I really don't like the Equestria Girls idea at all. I'll watch the first episode when it comes out to see what it's about and am a little curious about what the dolls will look like but these designs don't make me optimistic about liking it. I'm honestly only really concerned that I'll dislike the dolls and they will take over the My Little Pony space on retailer's toy shelves. I can ignore a show well enough if I don't like it but I don't want real MLP toys getting shoved out by Equestria Girls dolls.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I think they're cute.  There are a few things I would change though:
-Outfits are too similar.  Variety needed, especially in Rarity's department.  We all know that she doesn't do everyday fashion.  Then again, there's also a possibility that the clothes style is following a uniform policy...
-If wings are there, horns need to be too.  Massive "duh!" there.
-Lipstick.  Get rid of it.  It isn't doing them any favors (especially not Rainbow Dash or Applejack) and not all girls are into that crap.

Otherwise, very cute.  It will never, ever replace ponies in my heart but I am interested to see where it will go.

totally agree with you here!
need more pants and less knee high boots. but i do agree with you on all the other fronts too.

I wonder if Katy Perry will sing the theme song?

0.o? is she famous?

[ZennaBug]

I'm interested to see what they look like.  I'll reserve judgement until I've seen them.  They have potential to be cute though!

*shudder*  I hope not.  She just drives me bonkers.

Pretty famous, especially because of her [infamous] song " I Kissed a Girl (And I Liked It)" and "California Girls" (which the Hub made an MLP parody of.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTPqjKk_xCo ;D )

LOL, weird...

To be honest, that logo is kinda hideous. This is nothing against Equestria Girls, the design just looks really cluttered to me. Hasbro, you guys are slipping and I know you can do better than that! Something about the logo just looks off.

Well, then again the more I look at it the more it comes across exactly what Equestria Girls is gonna be, something trying to attach itself to My Little Pony that really doesn't have anything to do with Pony. Jez, you can see that in the logo.

And I'm kinda looking again and the more I look at it, something is not right with the N, in Pony.

I had to laugh when I saw the Logo. The girls sign is hanging on the pony one........????? OK????????

Making a logo is pretty tough work actually...

I agree that the logo seems to solidify that the Equestria Girls really are just a spin off and entirely unrelated to MLP.  You'd think that would calm everyone down, but I doubt it will.

I've been designing logos and signs for customers for over 20 years so I know how difficult it is.

Personally I'm pretty calm about it, but since I do logo design and I have customers come in every day and ask me to help them with logo designs I guess my critique can be taken the wrong way. So people can either take it or leave it if they don't like what I say about the logo, this is just my opinion on what I see.

With the addition of the EQ design to the MLP design it makes it more noticable that the N is bigger, causing the O to look really small.

From my point of view the whole reason the N was made bigger in the redesign was to fill in that empty space created by the Y and the curl of it under the N. Making the N bigger filled in that empty space that would have existed.

Now with the addition of the EQ to that logo, the N now looks weirdly huge and it makes all the letters in pony look a little jumbled.

Again, that's just what I see persoally. I'd adjust the N, that is just what I would do if I was designing it.

Problem is they probably don't want to change the MLP logo, but since they're already changing it by adding the EQ part, you'd think they would have done more adjustments than just toss the EQ up on it.

[Galactica]

You are right-  I didn't really notice it before but the N looks weird.

The logo is ok; I still don't like this idea but I'll give it a spin.
