While they are at it, they should remove the Papyrus logo from this picture on the main page.

And as for western audiences, I have a lot of coworkers in their early 20s and there's at least one occurence per day were they have to read cursive handwriting[. Never had the slightest problem with it from day one. Every single one of them reads cursive.
As for children, at least from my experiences with nepews and nieces and so on, I can say that the children in our family who are 10 or 12 can read cursive. Yes, children below the age of 10 could have some problems reading cursive, but come on. Overall this is a non-issue in the western world. There's really nothing gained from changing the western logo.
The problem with the new logo is that it was made by an Asian person trying calligraphy with latin letters. Which is exactly what it looks like and not in a good way. Kind of like a westerner trying to do calligraphy in Kanji. Of course it would look funny if we were trying the same thing the other way around. If Yu wants a new logo that badly why not at least use a western graphics artist for the western logo? He asked his father to do the Kanji, not a western tourist he met at Meiji Shrine.
Sorry, Yu-San, but the western logo really looks like an Asian guy practicing latin calligraphy, or to put it bluntly, like a fellow poster on here did before: like a (right-handed) western person using their left hand to write.

The Shenmue III logo can surely follow this route, I quite like it.

I feel bad saying that especially since it was created by Yu-san himself, but the cursive one is so much more aesthetically pleasing. I feel that it is important to keep things consistent especially now that Shenmue I&II is using a form of the original logo. I think it's kind of bogus that they decided to change it from the papyrus one to the cursive version in June 2017 because of the fan response and then just randomly change their minds all of sudden. I hope that this will be reconsidered sometime before the final release.
