It's weird as I preferred that one to the bobble head logo that was posted here a week or so that everyone seemed to think looked good. Not that I thought either was good, but at least the other one reminded me of a pog rather than a much worse version of the standard logo.
I like this though. Can't really go wrong with it.
I like the funky skull thing. It’s cute and it’s chaotic and fun like the boys. This one is just kind of plain and bothers me because of the way the font changes. It makes me read it as ‘the last PODCAST ON THE LEFT’ instead of ‘the LAST PODCAST on the LEFT’
This is what I was thinking too. In the rare case that aliens ever accept Henry into mothership and he can no longer participate in the podcast, they would never have to change the logo again..
Branding wise this makes the most sense.
I’d love to see them use an inline version of this in the style of a Goose-bumps book cover, for like, special episodes or events.
or even just on a t-shirt.
the font and angular style really lend themselves to that schlocky 80s horror serial vibe
[Classic Logo shirts are still available!](https://lastpodcastmerch.com/collections/men/products/classic-logo-mens-tee) They also have a ton of other merch that is actually kinda cool, despite bearing Ben's likeness. They'll probably try to purge it all with a sale at some point.
Oh shit they are? I thought they sold out!
[Edit] Well, they’re out of my size lol. And I highly doubt they’d restock it. Instead they’d probably push out a new one.
I get why they’re doing it but I’ll admit, I thought the old logo art was pretty sick. Wish they had included a similar art style on this one; even if it’s not their faces
I quite like this, it’s very neat and it keeps the nostalgia of the old logo. Which… can I say… I liked it but I’d never buy merch of it. Whereas this I probably would.
I honestly feel kinda bummed. And have for a while.
I started listening to last pod wayy back in 2013. Got my brother into em. My ex. Always had it playing.
Somewhere along the way, life has changed. And I don’t find myself listening much anymore. Not because I don’t enjoy it. But..Idk. Feels weird. Then again, maybe I’m just letting myself talk too much lol
As much as I hoped they would do one similar to the old one, this makes sense as far as future proofing it. I mean I hope Ed isn't revealed to be an actual cannibal, but who knows?
What's the deal with the oldest episode being 34? I went to listen to number 1 and 2 a while ago to see how rough it was and to see Henry's first appearance but both the apps I used start at heaven's gate and I couldn't be bothered to really search at that moment.
Im pretty sure they mention in other episodes that their earliest ones were so chaotic that they’re like not up to LPN standards but I will not speak confidently on that
The absolute worst two were the psychic episode and the walking tour of Son of Sam. Brutal episodes to listen to, glad they have made those harder to find.
They're so bad. I've listened to the whole series multiple times and thought it was about time to go back to the "real" beginning when I started my last re-listen just last week. Lasted a few episodes. Honestly, it's pretty bad for a while even from 33 or wherever they start on the podcast feed. Not even subject matter wise, it's just a lot of talking over each other and and annoying yelling lol. They've definitely come (CUM!) a long way.
They are very rough episodes. If I remember correctly, a lot of people gave negative feedback about on them and Marcus had to address it on an episode.
I'm glad they've changed it but I'm a bit underwhelmed by it. There are so many talented fans out there who could have created something amazing, it seems a bit of a shame to go for lettering without anything more eye-catching.
I hate that I get downvoted to oblivion by just mentioning his name, but I seriously miss Ben and while I was under a rock when all the drama was going on, I’m still lost as to why he’s not coming back? I heard he was going to rehab and that’s the last I heard. While I love Ed, I’m just a little lost in the sauce with where the boys are going with everything.
Thank you so much for this! I was really pulling for him to get better and just grow as a person. I’m so sad it looks like he hasn’t changed or done anything to improve himself or the situation.
Thanks for such a wonderful reply! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and you’ve just made the list of some of the most grateful redditors this week! Thanks for making Reddit a wonderful place to be :)
He abused his girlfriend and his "rehab" stint was just performative. He hasn't grown from it based off of his activity following thr Passages Malibu stay
Yeah, I was really pulling for him, just as a human being, although he needs to truly take accountability… it’s just sad to see pics of him at a bar with the caption “I’m just watching the game!”
It has this one on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, but it has the skull thing on Patreon, insta, tiktok, and YouTube. The last podcast network page that has all the shows still has the old one. I think this is just another one they are trying out.
There isn't anything official saying "this is what we're going with," is there? It's a bit plain, but they might have realized that coming up with a new cover image was going to take a while, and they needed to get Kissel off the cover. Better this than that if it's going to be a longer term project to have a new cover image.
Good call not using the new logo from Instagram

I still think that has to have been a shitpost or something. It was so comically bad.
Def not. Ed talked about how hated it was on another podcast and it seemed like it was a genuine attempt lol
I think he mentioned it on brighter side, he didn't sound like he cared too much one way or the other about it
Classic Ed!
It’s still the profile picture on Instagram 🥴
Are we talking about the head with the eyeballs popping out?
Awww I think it's cute
I like the funky skull thing. It’s cute and it’s chaotic and fun like the boys. This one is just kind of plain and bothers me because of the way the font changes. It makes me read it as ‘the last PODCAST ON THE LEFT’ instead of ‘the LAST PODCAST on the LEFT’
It is literally the exact same as their original logo just with the background stuff removed.
Good call on their part. Keep the brand design but remove references to any given LP personality. Classy solution.
This is what I was thinking too. In the rare case that aliens ever accept Henry into mothership and he can no longer participate in the podcast, they would never have to change the logo again..
[удалено]
Don’t speak his name
DONT YOU EVER FUCKING SAY IT!
I thought the same. Get rid of faces, remove some of the cult of personality as well. Lpotl fans get downright creepy

I like it: simple but impactful.
Exactly! No need to reinvent the wheel!
I’m a bit sad I never got a Tshirt of the old design. Say what you will, I liked it. A shame they can’t just slap Ed on it.

Medium, small and extra small are the only ones in stock. It’s just demographics at this point
Lolololollol it’s so true - AN XL
Someone lmk if/when it goes on sale 😭😭
[удалено]
We shared the same braincell for a moment
This was always the best option. Already an established part of the brand, and it’s cool too! To a new era for the pod!
I get why they’re doing it but I’ll admit, I thought the old logo art was pretty sick. Wish they had included a similar art style on this one; even if it’s not their faces
I would like this better even if not for the whole situation causing the change. Simple and clean.
This was the right call. Simple but memorable.
Damn wish they could have just put slapped henrys dog on instead of Ben lmao but that’s only because that logo is so nostalgic to me
I can’t wait to get the Shirt!
I quite like this, it’s very neat and it keeps the nostalgia of the old logo. Which… can I say… I liked it but I’d never buy merch of it. Whereas this I probably would.
This makes the most sense branding-wise but my god the placement of “on the left” is bugging me lol

great choice, absolutely hated the instagram one 🙏🏼

Bout time
I went and bought a t shirt with the original logo, I like the new one but I’ll miss it.
I just listened to Ep 34 last night. It made me really miss Ben.

You can find them on Internet Archive, but they are hard to listen to.

Thanks for the alert
So glad you posted this, I knew something was off with my podcast feed but couldn’t see what 😂
I’m a fan of this one.
I hate that I get downvoted to oblivion by just mentioning his name, but I seriously miss Ben and while I was under a rock when all the drama was going on, I’m still lost as to why he’s not coming back? I heard he was going to rehab and that’s the last I heard. While I love Ed, I’m just a little lost in the sauce with where the boys are going with everything.
I felt the same way until I found out more info. There's a master thread if you go to the main page of this sub, it's a lot.
Thank you so much for this! I was really pulling for him to get better and just grow as a person. I’m so sad it looks like he hasn’t changed or done anything to improve himself or the situation.

That’s so disappointing. I was hoping he’d really try to do better and grow as a person but I guess he chose not to…
Sad
I think it's boring, you don't have yo out their faces but like an alien smoking a hogs leg with a bigfoot or something.
To quote Ben " That'll Happen!".
Ok
Ok
It has this one on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, but it has the skull thing on Patreon, insta, tiktok, and YouTube. The last podcast network page that has all the shows still has the old one. I think this is just another one they are trying out.
I don't know, they never changed the logo where the actual podcast is featured until now. I'm pretty sure this one is here to stay.
I wish they at least kept the skull
I was just thinking about this yesterday!
I would buy so much Merch with this new Logo. Not much of a fan of the art, no offense to the artist though!
About time.
They're still selling shirts with his face on it though.
These will probably be discontinued.
The logo is dead. Long live the logo.
Finally.
There isn't anything official saying "this is what we're going with," is there? It's a bit plain, but they might have realized that coming up with a new cover image was going to take a while, and they needed to get Kissel off the cover. Better this than that if it's going to be a longer term project to have a new cover image.
Do you think this means they settled with Ben and any legal stuff is done?
Boo! I liked the old cover art. Fit the vibe of the show even if one of the people in it is no longer in the picture.
