The white font logo simply fits much better to the TGCD artwork, they're still using the logo though, on shirts and everything. I guess it just might return again on the next album, if it fits the artwork.

It would be interesting if the logo did make an appearance on the next album but i doubt it seeing as that was the logo they used for the more 'death/doom' stuff, not the sorta gothic vibe they have going on at the minute...

That depends on which logo you're talking about, I was talking about the logo they started using on Discouraged Ones and I think that's also what devinity was referring to.

i mean the past one with the pentagram and now the simple one

 

[MadTinus]

Well, that's pretty obvious I would say, the style of the music changed that much, that the old pentagram logo simply didn't represent the music anymore. I'm pretty sure we will not see the pentagram logo on any new Katatonia release anymore.

[...] and I eventually designed a new logo - blindly representing just as heavy a sound and dark imagery of what we always were but yet oh so different

-Anders in the liner notes to the Dscouraged Ones re-issue.

Somewhat and answer, devinity?

 

[devinity]

thank you so much

the pentagram logo is forever buried in the 90s and will not come back. the logo u know from discouraged ones - viva emptiness might re-appear on the next album and it might not. it all depends on the artwork and layout in the end. but it will not go away on merch and websites etc etc - its still considered our main logo.

The logo from their earlier albums is their best I think. They should at least keep the 'Discouraged Ones' logo, I see what you guys are saying about the change in music and logo and all, but the new logo is just block font and kinda boring..

 

[Brave.Archangel]

it fits a more mature approach to music - less image based

You clearly didn't read Blakkheim's post right before your post.
