Hello Everyone!

Sorry for the long wait, but the newest progress video is here! Please see how Shenmue III is coming along with a born again Ryo and Shenhua, plus new stages!

Yu Suzuki on the title logo

"I really wanted to bring home the Shenmue logo because this belongs to all of you, and I know how passionate everyone feels about it. As the result, I felt the design should come more from the heart. So, with more than a bit of trepidation, I took brush to hand. I believe we have reached a design that will please, but let me know what you think!"

Yu-san is now in Germany attending gamescom 2017. We will have an activity report once he gets back, so please keep it here!

Thank you for your support!

I'm not pleased with the new logo either. I don't know how this translates to the end product being crappy, though. If we exclude the character designs (which are obviously a WIP), everything, i.e., the environment, choreography, etc., seems to be shaping up well. When the character models improve, I'm confident people will be blown away by what YsNet has been able to achieve with their limitations.

Breaking news, Technophilz can't read:

Sure is official, official to the point of asking for fan feedback about it. Can't get any more official, locked in, not gonna change it, than asking the opinions of people who you take seriously.

So the June update on the logo was moot?

I mean how hard is it to give fans the proper logo?

Read what Yu said. It's kind of his last stand on having a new logo.

I read what he said. So my point still stands why did we get this update in June?

Yes, Shenmue III has updated its title logo. Taking your comments into consideration, Yu Suzuki and the team gave the title logo another hard look and decided to update the logo with this design.


If they have reverted and given us frankly a severely inferior logo in every respect. This matter should have been handled a long time ago yet here we are still discussing Yu-san and the team getting the logo correct.

The logo saga has been a bit all over the place hasn't it? I absolutely love the original logo, so much so that I set up the opinion poll on here all those months ago.

Yu clearly has big issues with the original logo and, personally, I think it's more than just whether Western kids can read cursive text or not. I feel Yu wants a logo that represents a modern Shenmue - a change of direction in artistic styles.

There are obvious links to the original game - the environments, the characters, the music - however having seen the game in motion for the first time in a very long time, this just feels different and, if that means we also have a different feel to the logo, then so be it.

Iyapol pretty much said what I was going to say.

There's no point getting indignant about it, code I name. Yu soliciting for opinions is not "welp the cursive logo is dead fuck everything", so don't behave like it. Yu could do whatever the fuck he wants with the logo, but he at least has the humility to reach out to fans to see if they're won over by his attempt, or want to switch back to cursive.

Cursive is going to win out. It did before, and it will again. Cool your jets.
