Redesigning my MLP redesigns

I made the first designs in 2021, and my skills have grown quite a lot since then!

I wanted to give everyone an accessory of some kind, I feel like it helps them stand out as a MC rather than a secondary or background character,

Rainbow and Pinkie didn't change too much. They were mostly a redraw with a few tweeks in patterns and colors. Twilight was similar, but I removed the yellow to simplify her pallette a bit. I more or less revered AJ's design because... yeesh.

Rarity was a complete overhaul, I wanted to give her an "old money" feel, but carry some traits from the original design like the updo and the gemstone-like shoes. I really like how she turned out. And that leaves Fluttershy, who was surprisingly hard to figure out. I messed with her pallette quite a bit, but I knew I wanted to revert her to her original yellow while adding more green and brown like I tried in my original redesign. I'm pretty happy with the outcome! Let me know your thoughts :D

... Read moreMLP, or My Little Pony, has a dedicated community of fans and artists who often engage in redesigning beloved characters to make them feel fresh and relevant. The key to a successful character redesign lies in balancing familiarity with innovation. For instance, Twilight Sparkle’s palette adjustment reflects a trend toward simplicity, attracting modern audiences while retaining original traits. Creative artists often look for unique accessories to enhance their designs, which can transform a character's presence from background to iconic. Accessories not only add depth but also provide a distinct visual identity crucial for character recognition. Rarity's overhaul to capture an 'old money' aesthetic showcases how redesigns can reflect personal tastes and current fashion trends, appealing to both nostalgic fans and new followers. It's also fascinating to see how artists like myself adapt elements from original designs, such as Fluttershy’s return to her classic yellow while incorporating greenery. This can draw a charming visual connection that speaks to dedicated fans. With platforms like Lemon8, fans can now share their artwork widely, foster discussions on character design, and generate interest in MLP content. As the community continues to evolve, so will the design interpretations, making it an exciting time for pony enthusiasts everywhere.

Why logo redesigns flop 🙃 With prominent brands in particular, redesigning a logo is such a challenge because the logo is such a prominent identifier to them and making changes needs to be done with great care. Ultimatley brands that: 🗑️ throw out their heritage 🔥 lose their charm 🫣 or overloo
