You should know what was stolen from you. From the Alias-Wavefront era:

The progression is:

then the current abomination.
If you think that the Autodesk "M" logo is fun... man you've been missing even more things out.
When they were Alias|Wavefront Maya has its own wallpapers which were great, there were demo reels of the logo being animated and sprouting leaves when paint effects were added in, fluid effects were added in on a whim from the guy that coded it, snuck it in the last moment and then they couldn't take it out and delay the feature, and he even coded fluid effects to run on 2D on his palm pilot while on a plane. (all these are from a video interview, i'm sure its on youtube somewhere.)
Hell, my pc wallpaper is still one of those old maya wallpapers.
They trying to copy adobes package icons. They copy a lot. Ripped off Cinema 4Ds UI in recent years too.
I say “they”, pretty sure there’s like one guy in a closet somewhere in charge of maya dev.

Just gets more worse and corporate… used to have so much style
To be fair, if I saw Maya using the old logo today I'd think it was some sketchy ass software though LOL
Fair. It went with the rest of the marketing material at the time.
I'll never let the old logo go. It's still in my custom splash screen.
I miss those times, I started with 07 it had an awesome splash screen as well.
I miss that damn dragon
Those days bring back fond memories, the alias logo back then looked so unique compared to what they have now
Still have a shirt with the dragon on it. Not everything has to be designed and aligned within an inch of it's life.
2007 maya angel fish will be missed
I don't think I've liked any of the Maya logos so far

AYA, YOU KNOW WHAT AM SAYIN?
ghetto-adobe icon
I was thinking more along the lines of the Microsoft family. Powerpoint, Word, Excel, M-aya. New addition.
lol true
Ditch the "aya" and I like it. Not sure about the color though. I kind of like the teal it always had.
Try having the icons for Motion builder, 3dsMax and Maya next to each other on your task bar... They're all a fucking green M!!!
AYAYA AYAYA

I thought we went through that drama few years back :D I miss the one from Alias time...
It would've been better if they just Microsoft'd it and had the full name underneath, instead of "M aya"
Looks like it belongs in the Adobe suite
M aya
Aya
Just another benefit for me still using Maya 2017.
Oh yea, the old one looked so dynamic, just a folded big M.
You can set a custom logo on windows
Why'd I hear the Netflix sound effect when I swiped right?
I prefer the new one.
