Bear in mind the company that is making this game is relatively small and fairly new to the industry, so what they create isn't going to be absolutely perfect. They're creating a game for a franchise that quite frankly has been almost dead up until this point, and they're trying their hardest to bring a beloved game into the modern day. It just comes across as pissy and ungrateful when people get overly critical over minor details such as a logo. Fair enough if it was something that affected gameplay or something you actually saw in the game because those things are far more important.
I didn't ask JAW to remake Abe's Oddysee, I suppose my complaints come down to the fact the Oddworld franchise is something that is close to all our hearts, and I for one want it done right. I think a lot of you think I'm being a twat about things for the sake of it, I would love to be excited for this game coming out.

The fact is though, everything I've seen has just made me go, well that's pretty bad, or this could be done, correctly identified as small things, but small things that would make a surprisingly big difference, and people slate me for pointing them out. I think it's odd to say forgive JAW because they're small and they can't do an overly great job, in that case, they shouldn't be trying to recreate such a monumental game. To be honest I'd rather they just left it alone than release something shoddy for funding.

Also, I wouldn't say a logo is a 'minor detail'. It's something that a prospective buyer will use to determine whether they want to purchase the game, and I personally feel it doesn't reflect the atmosphere and gameplay all that well, and that's largely down to the choice of colours.
