I am a long-time reader and a short time subscriber, from #289. I have not commented about the changes in Dragon, feeling that with all new things a chance should be given for review and reflection.
However, one of the things that attracted me to Dragon and Dungeon for that matter was the unique and exciting logo as well as cover art. I grew to enjoy the articles and enjoyed the fiction as well.
I must add my name to the growing list of subscribers who are not impressed with the changes. My specific critique is the Logo. It no longer holds the excitement and uniquness of the previous design. I gives the reader the impression of a generic product, inferior and unsubstative. Not the eye catcher that the previous logo held for me. It is; in one word, Boring.
You have a lot going for you, and a renewed interest in Gaming, you need to bridge the growing gap between longtime, loyal subscribers and the new potential subscribers. That needs work.
Ecologies, I miss. Theme issues were good, I would like to see you continue those.
THe ultimate issue you, the editorial staff is looking for me to answer is; will I cancel my subscription over the logo? Probably not. will I renew my subscription? We will see. I want to give Paizo a chance, but I have not been blown away by the new look or format.
Good Luck, I will be watching for attempts at improvement.
