lol, now they just look like a carbon copy of every other shitty game store.

Why be a "G"? There's already Groupees which starts with a G and has a single "G" as a logo or some other Game stores. It's not like it's a graphically special G either.
The "H" is iconic for Humble. Maybe they could've included the H in the logo, nobody would see the G and think "Oh yeah, Humble Games! (Publishing)"

tbh I never saw this page before change so I can't tell if it's good or bad

Wow, I don't like that at all. And it doesn't invoke "Humble" at all either which makes it fail as a logo.

WHY PUBLISH WITH HUMBLE GAMES?
Since 2010, Humble Bundle has forged a path for indie developers to have a platform for their projects and voices. It has been and always will be a priority for Humble to build bridges between indie video games and consumers, all while pursuing the universal desire to be a force for good. This is the history and DNA that bred Humble Games.

It's almost as if they want to distance themselves from the name Humble Bundle.

Not really lol. It was Humble Publishing but since it also includes game development rebranding to Humble Games made perfect sense.

I'm mostly talking about the logo, they just left the iconic H out of it, almost as if they wanted to distance themselves from it.
I imagine that being mostly known as a company that bundles games is not exactly good when you're trying to sell games at full price in your store or other stores, it makes sense to try and avoid people immediately thinking "I better wait for this game to get bundled" when they see the publisher name/logo in the trailer.

it's not even a good G

It looks horrible. I would never associate that with Humble Bundle. It reminds me of the internet explorer logo.

Plain ugly. Where to begin.. No "H". Completely different font and so bland. No relation to the actual site. Just call the site "Games" then. Blue colour?? Don't they know blue is cold and makes you want to go grab a blanket to get warm? Makes you wonder if they're even the same people when you see this.
..Seems more like i-G-n than Humble

didn't they worked so hard to go from humble bundle to humble. why they are adding "games" part now?
Comment has been collapsed.
It's for their publishing arm, not their bundles and not to the actual company.

This would have been far better if they decided to go for a "simple" G.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not even well designed. Look at the negative space inside the G.
This can't be a professionally designed logo... or can it?

Terrible, looks cheap, tacky and to me completely misses the point of what Humble should stand for. It looks like it belongs on G2A's website.

What does the current Humble logo stand for in your eyes? Or what should a simple logo manage to stand for?
Comment has been collapsed.
Current logo for Humble Bundle looks friendly, with the slightly wavy font and the red color that carries the meaning of creation and passion (among the positive things red brings) and catches the eye, gives a pleasurable feeling. For me, Humble was always pay what you want (set your own value to things offered), support charities in the process, discover great indies and all that without pooling the wool over it's customers eyes (not going into any business discussions or rumour-mongering here).
This new logo, even if it's only for publishing, looks like a bad generic 90's gaming magazine gimmick for pimply teenagers (apologies to pimply teenagers) and feels cold and outdated.

I get the point about the friendly and warm colors for sure.
Although everything else you said has nothing to do with the logo. The current Humble logo doesn't really show anything about charities.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll agree with you on that. It's a psychological thing, I've been using it so long that I've come to associate the logo with all the things I wrote, betting I'm not the only one. :) It doesn't necessarily need to have some kind of a charity visual in the logo, it got branded with charity through the years.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm just not too sure how Humble Games have associated with charities other than the bundles their games have been in. But at that point every publisher would be associated with charities then.
Comment has been collapsed.
Didn't they start with that idea? They've always given a part of the profits to charities, unlike the bigger publishers. Or you're thinking that's just wishful thinking? We got sidetracked from the logo. :D

What does that realhumble moniker stand for? Considering that they are even changing letter, I can't see much humbleness...

Am I the only one who thinks the logo looks extremely similar to the Sims 4 logo? Letters merging into one another, a blue-ish gradient...?

The forced simplicity trend's big now. The Firefox logo changes are a good example of that.

It will be a dedicated publishing division that will handle cross-platform publishing in addition to working closely with independent developers.
Seems a side (and forgettable) company

... didn't know that having the most popular platformer of its year, one of the most popular adventure CCG games, one of the biggest competitors to Pokemon, one of the most well received roguelikes and well known competitors to Stardew Valley means they're forgettable. Silly me.
Cringeworthy sassiness aside, they've been bloody successful and they're doing really well. Just because you don't play these major AA games, doesn't mean they're "side" (like Humble literally is themselves for Ziff Davis, as if it's a bad thing to begin with since the literally every single company has side things) or that they're "forgettable".

How in the seven seas you can relate Temtem and Valley with HG as GTA with Rockstar or COD with Activision, diablo and blizzard and so on?
Please stop being a fanboy, branding is awful
Comment has been collapsed.
... I am not relating them? Also, I'm not saying they published Stardew Valley... what are you talking about here?
I'm saying that for a publishing arm intended specifically for funding promising indie titles, (ala TinyBuild, Devolver) they've done a really good job. Doesn't take a fanboy to realize that their games have been successful and their track record from the beginning has been rivaling the top players in that market.
I never related an indie funding publisher with a AAA studio with more money than some countries. I never related TemTem with GTA... I never related any game with CoD either. Are you responding to someone else here?

I'm guessing that it's supposed to look like a game disk.

Humble recently changed their logo with a new one on their official steam group. Here - https://steamcommunity.com/groups/HumbleBundleOfficial
looks like new rebranding to Humble Publishing - https://www.humblegames.com/
Note- it's not the main bundle website but solely for developers
