While I don\u2019t hate it, it\u2019s just a 3D version of the 70s diamond logo. Though I\u2019m glad it\u2019s the original colors and not the multicolor version they used in 90s before the movie logo,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Another explained why they didn\u2019t think the diamond logo work: \u201cSorry, but it feels childish. In part that is okay, because children are a core audience of the show. But many teenagers and adults watch the show as well, and it is a family program. I fear this only lures in more children to watch and makes the brand less cool for older people.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"&quot;twitter-tweet&quot;\" data-dnt=\"&quot;true&quot;\"><p lang=\"&quot;en&quot;\" dir=\"&quot;ltr&quot;\">Sorry, but it feels childish.
