https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/our-icons-are-changing Java Edition now uses the new logo in-game! It's been a long time since Minecraft, the main game, has used the new logo, but now they're announcing it formally for some reason. It also says that they changed the Java Edition logo, when the Minecraft game logo was changed in 2021. Other places confirm that the Java Edition logo is not separate but just adds the 'Java Edition' subtitle. Regardless, this is a nice resolution to this longstanding issue. The new logo can now be found in snapshot 23w14a for Minecraft 1.20. There's a lot of semantics that usually only designers would notice, such as the difference between the Minecraft franchise logo and the Minecraft game logo, and when the subtitle should be added. I'm sure the designers are now pleased.
As a user, I'm glad to see this inconsistency, and what I would consider to be a bug, resolved.
This is not considered a valid bug but rather a change request – we confirmed this ruling internally with Mojang. As such this bug report remains resolved as "Invalid" because it doesn't describe a bug.
Regardless of whether this is a valid issue or not for MOJIRA, my point is that this inconsistency has been resolved and that the designers are surely happy now that their (2 year old) work is being used. Feel free to close other change requests like MCPE-163383. Thank you!
Edit: I've also made a couple of other such "change requests"/inconsistency issue reports that will need to be closed as invalid.
That report is a valid parity issue as it's changed/added after the busy bees update, the logo wasn't.
It wasn't opened as a parity issue between Bedrock Edition and Java Edition. It was opened as an issue of using the incorrect branding assets. The branding assets were changed in multiple places prior to 2023, such as on the Minecraft website and in the Minecraft Launcher. Please note that I'm referring to the Minecraft game logo, and not the franchise logo. The Minecraft website has had up to date logos since 2021. Unfortunately, even if it were a parity issue between Bedrock Edition and Java Edition, the reason that this issue is not a parity issue is because it does not impact gameplay.
the reason that this issue is not a parity issue is because it does not impact gameplay.
That's not a criteria for parity reports; art, sounds, animations, none of those affect gameplay, yet all are accepted areas for parity issues.
BE-JE parity issues needing to "impact gameplay" [is what a moderator in this issue said|https://old.reddit.com/r/Mojira/comments/10t7o3b/mc240473_closed_as_invalid/j8m95zf/.] I'll take that as an authoritative source.
Thank you for your report!
