Most League of Legends fans are familiar with the intro in Riot Games videos. The icon of the hand punching the screen has been engraved in the minds of many people. However, it seems that Riot Games will now change their branding for 2019. On the official Riot Games website, the new logo icon has appeared.
People started to realize the logo had changed when Riot’s Twitter account changed its profile picture. Support and recruitment accounts also change their profile picture.

The new logo is pretty much simplified. It doesn’t look too complicated. The text has been more minimalistic – Riot has chosen a simple block font instead of the zigzag like before. The fist icon is also not right in the text.
The community has mixed opinions. On League of Legends Reddit, some prefer the old logo. Meanwhile, the rest said that Riot is trying to modernize its logo, because many new logo designs are now aimed at minimalism and readability.
The old logo has been used in the company since Riot Games was founded in 2006.
Riot has yet to officially announce the decision to change this logo.
