Daybreak Game Company now has a logo.
It sort of makes me feel like an angry owlbear is watching me.
They also apparently have a working domain at daybreakgames.com now and a new site that seems to be pretty much free of Sony or SOE mentions along with new terminology like Daybreak Cash rather than Station Cash. It is like they are a real company now!
Addendum: There is also an interview with Smed about the site and logo update. It includes this:
The Daybreak logo was designed to reflect that brand, with a nocturnal aspect, (the owl’s eye), a technological aspect (the gear within the eye), and a more literal aspect (the “Daybreak” of a rising sun within the gear). The red, black, and yellow of Daybreak logo is starkly different from the familiar blue and white of the Sony Online Entertainment label, which might serve to emphasize a separation from the company’s past. Internally, Smedley said that separation has already happened.
Summarizing the rest of the interview, there is nothing but geezers left in the company, WoW is dead, and long live cash shops or something.
And a further interview over at Polygon that talks about being the odd duck at Sony, which we all sort of knew.
Off topic: This new official Smed picture seems like it is aching for a Daybreaking Bad joke or something.
Not sure if this is a good thing or bad. They make a ton of secondary sites to deal with bugs and customer service issues. Guess it’s wait and see.

Actually, I recognize that eye. It is the eye of a dev who has didn’t go home for three days straight in order to finish up a feature only to find on the fourth morning that the spec for it has completely changed or the whole thing has been scrapped.
