The Steel Ball Run logo is incredibly iconic with it being used on seemingly every official release of the series. It's present on the original series, the French translations, the Spanish translations, and even the fan made opening's such as Holy Steel by Nico Bellisario. Despite this, I can't help but notice that the new Viz release features a completely different (and in my opinion blander/worse) logo. While I definitely have a favorite of the two logos and find it a shame that it's been swapped, It's not the end of the world and I'm not gonna let it kill my mood about the release or anything. I'm mainly making this thread to ask if anyone knows for the reason WHY it's been changed.

I mean it has a western kind of vibe to it but I obviously still prefer the original one. The anime one will also inevitably be different so just prepare for that
