talk about a change in demographic
the new logo for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno was just revealed, definitely going for a different audience than the Conan logo did. 3D is supposed to be the next big thing for design (especially in the entertainment industry), which Conan’s logo nailed, and Leno’s just completely ignores. going by this logo they obviously don’t expect anyone under 35 to ever watch this show.
