Pirate Bay Getting New Logo

By soulxtc

Warns people not to be upset when their “t-shirts, tattoos, or similar” become obsolete.

Global Gaming Factory is set to complete its acquisition of Swedish BitTorrent tracker site the Pirate Bay on August 27th and item looks as though the deal won’t include the logo and “some graphical details.”

From the sites:

New graphics

When TPB changes owner in the near future it has been agreed that the new owners will change the logo and some graphical details (although not too much). We just want to inform the people that are upset about their t-shirts, tattoos or similar.

There’s also rumours on the internets that the new owners might be interested in getting a logo as a competition. So maybe you should start drawing if you’re into that

We know that TPB has a strong following and we’re really happy about that. Stay tuned for the old teams new projects!

I can’t say I’m surprised. I’m sure they want to have something to remember the site by. But, without the ubiquitous logo won’t GGF have a tougher time trying to convince people to visit the site?

Perhaps not. Maybe all GGF needs to be concerned with is price and selection. After all, it does have to compete with the free content people can easily find on alternative public and private BitTorrent tracker sites.

Stay tuned.
