really the thing i disliked most about the GB2 logo was it put a timeframe of sorts in the GB timeline…much like the events of GB2,mentioning years and what not…limiting the freedom of the script or anything else to come from the franchise with GB2 standing. I do like the idea of a new logo for promotional type things,but please for that only. Otherwise,original logo and ecto….ecto-1a did look good and all but with all the lights and text-running side panels on top and what not…it was like ray and the guys went overboard after a trip to Vegas.

I say stick to the classics. That symbol & image says so much. I agree w/the previous poster on Ectomobile issue: it got taller & unflattering, just like hairstyles of the 80's.

I've drawn a bunch of little GB3 logos that I thought would be cool. I'll try and scan them and get them up here ASAP. I also thought that that if they decided to upgrade the Ecto, it should be more like the original. I think it should have more of a green neon lighting on the top or bottom, maybe strobe lights so it would look bad@$$ at night. I felt like Ecto-1G would be a cool name for it( that's where my name came from) :p

It's funny that this thread would get active just as someone was asking about the expansion of the GB franchise within the movie, which got me thinking about the third movie script.

I'm thinking it would be cool in a third movie, provided it retains the idea that the GBI staff has greatly expanded, if the logos go back to the original, but there are modifications denoting geography and specialization.

This would apply to uniforms only - vehicles would still maintain the original logo.

Imagine the main logo patch, with text banners or flourishes to reflect what franchise your based with - a Chinatown hall could incorporate a dragon, or something (I was just in San Fransisco, and the Chinatown firehall has a dragon wrapped around their badge), or even other cities could have unique hall patches. All of them would have the GB logo as a main feature, but something extra, specific to the team that wears it.

Then, since Dan's script saw there being different vehicles (like a rolling containment unit truck) and 100+ employees, once you expand that out across the continent, it'd be handy in the field to be able to tell who specialized in what.

Anyone rated in the sciences wear some sort of patch on the arm, just under the logo patch. Drivers wear another, etc. Heck, why not adopt rank as well. The four guys worked well, but what if two or three halls respond to a big call? Who calls the shots?

So, name patch over right chest, station patch on shoulder with expertise and rank patch underneath - hmm, maybe expertise and rank can be one.

Anyhow, just talking out loud. Gives me an idea for a contest too - I've got a copy of the Ibook novel I'd like to give away.

That seems like a lil too much…i mean yeah itd take care of any confusion matters…but both GB cartoon lines maintained just the 1 team…and they would travel as needed…like to places like europe and what not in the RGB series. Plus i think in a story-line itd be hard to keep track of so many different characters. Not to mention itd take alot of the fame away from the boys in grey. Think about peoples reactions to them if they were just like normal everyday pest control. Reminds me of the end of Legion #1 where Ray says “if ya think about all we are is glorified exterminators” .

Good points that you can take up with the guy who wrote the script. :p

I was just having some fun with it. If nothing else, it could be good fodder for anyone out there that plays the roleplaying game.

IMO I think GB3 should just have the original NO GHOST logo. It classic and I really don't like the GB2 one, it reminds me of a Sonic game and it a bit, well, cheesy.

keep the orignal or you will have lots of angry fans (o_O) :@

I agree with most of the replies that the original logo shouldn't change.

Sure logos get updated for companies, or altered for promos/spinoffs, but this is mostly a symbol, like a traffic sign, or the “No Smoking” sign, they don't get changed or updated. This is the No Ghost sign.

I think that maybe a slightly altered logo can be used for the promotion of say a new movie, all you need is the no-ghost logo with a hint of change.
