Attention, design geeks. Do check out this nifty little piece from Vegas Tripping on changes in Vegas casino logos. I don't share their animosity towards the top hat & cane on the old Monte Carlo logo. But they definitely nailed the hot mess that is the new NY, NY logo. One thing I noticed just now looking at the article is that, in the earlier version of the Mirage script logo (the one with the palm trees), the loop of the "g" encircles the "g" in Las Vegas but in the most recent version of the logo, the loop now captures the "e" and the "g" and I wonder how many hours they spent deciding on that. I also think it's interesting that there's so little in common among the casinos with mostly unchanging logos: Flamingo, Circus Circus, and Bellagio.
