Change the Mudbox Icon and logo to the Fox logo again.

[sergimen2001]

Possibly this is not the most important feature needed in Mudbox, but the mudbox icon looks exactly like the Maya Icon when pinned,( I am a 3DS MAX user, but I ask for this, thinking in the Maya users).

And in fact, Mud need an unique and distinctive logo and icon.

I vote for come back to the old good one "Fox" logo:

I am also a 3ds max user and agree with this. I have Maya and Mudbox installed and on my toolbar, I often open Maya by accident when trying to open mudbox.

Max's users also want old 3ds max logo back https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-ideas/please-give-us-the-best-logo-ever/idi-p/7219749 That really bad idea to use first letter as logo 😞

well in that case they have to change all the logos do they ? In fact This M is better designed than the one for Maya.

[Kranos_Orphydian]

and anyway those were nonsense icons. It is somehow youl see on open source or amateurish programs. What has to do a fox head with the "mud box" naming. The same for that bird for Maya.You either go full abstract or some stylized Letters. this mascot idea is childish and not even related to the name of the product.Remembers me of Gimp and that stupid dog/wold head?

Linux got Penguin as logo. When we see Penguin we undestand that is means Linux no matter that it dosn't fit to word Linux. But when I using Motion Builder, Mudbox, and Maya you got three icons with "M" - that is not good design.

thanks for proving my point- only amateurish and open source programs. Many big software and big and old companies are stuck with them or just are stuck din the past like some open source programs Whatever stupid they happened ave to keep them for various reason as trademark protection, trademark accumulated value etc. but in any case no one is getting back to them once they made the decision to ditch them out. Logo Letter can be really interesting, stylish and very distinctive. The current ones arent but they will be changed dont have any doubt about that.

[RGhost77]

Be my guest :). Anyway, bad design of "M" need to be changed. But last years ADSK makes bad icons in software (3dsmax) so I have no illusion that there will be positive changes in the future.

[Kranos_Orphydian]

the icons are not bad at all except the Maya one. This twisted framework really goes well with 3d design aspect of the company. Altough more on the manufacturing site of the business. Fusion 360, Autocad, Mudbox have very cool logos.

[sergimen2001]

I agree with RGhost77 and Geoff:

We have 3 "M" logos and icons: Maya, Mudbox, and Motion builder.

I think is a total fail in the product image design, and a lack of reponsability from the designer.

Simple and synthetically.

so then make the M's styled more differently and changed their colour lol. Its not a fatality.

[sergimen2001]

Sure. Let's avoid a lot of heavy work to the graphic designer.

He/Her already spend a lot of  neurons with the 3 current "M" logos ...

ok then "bring out the gimp" ...errrr the foxy lol why cant we post memes here ? it so unprofessional

[sergimen2001]

Oh no! Yes you can!

[Tenshiros]

The Fox logo was an indication for me that currently i´m inside Mudbox, it was associated in my mind not because i´m childish,but because it´s something different than the others ´M´ , SO YES, i think it needs to be back OR put some good graphic designer to use their creativity to create something that catch the eye and identify every software, no more Origami stuff.. pls.

[ryanVQGVU]

The purpose of a logo is mainly to make it recognizable. Having two or more logos that look the same is a huge mistake. Please change this.

[RGhost77]

Logo it should be like this, it much better describes what's going on with Mudbox.
