One that doesn't want to look like every other college kid...

...and just think how many of us were conceived thanks to a little help from that iconic bunny.

Nice Idea, but I'm not to sure about replacing the bunny with a Fox.

That's not his best work. That looks like a skunk the point of the brand is that playboy is connected to what men like the feminine side or aka bunnies. And bunnies ears being split is a sexual reference to something else being split. And bunnies are far more feminine than a fox, men would simply look at it and go is this for the women? Its clear that its more masculine with what looks like an olive stick in his mouth. I like his posters far more.

tigerlou,
Even more of a missed opportunity is that photography is huge on the iso50 blog. Jacob (the guy who did this project) and Scott post tons of great photography links, so I sort of felt let down when there was no mention of nude photography simply because he could have worked it in a much different style than the magazine currently has. Not saying he would have taken photos himself, but a particular photo aesthetic could have been established with the new branding - a little less sleeze, a little more artistic approach.
I don't even know what their photos are like these days in all honesty. I've not picked up a Playboy in nearly 10 years.

Trouble is if I looked at the Fox logo for the first time it would not say Playboy, it would be unrecognisable as a brand. I'm afraid to say it, but the bunny is a keeper and he should have redesigned the bunny Icon.

Eugh, he was getting AWAY from the overtly sexual connotations.
Read the blog MORANS:
"I imagined a Playboy comprised solely of articles, devoid of nudity (or images of any kind) — something that people would have no choice but to read. In the same way it was regarded as progressive and irreverent in the past, so too could it be now, with an effective and drastic restructuring. Strangely enough, the boundaries Playboy pushed back in the 60’s have now come to be relatively standard operating procedure for men’s magazines. A drastic change, such as eliminating nude spreads altogether, would be one of the ways Playboy could once again be on the forefront exciting editorial content."

Also, my problem with the "bunny" is that it denotes the sort of feminine qualities that men were into in teh 50s/60s - i.e. fat bitches.
"Bunnies" are fatties, aka, rubenesque, aka voluptious, aka curvy, aka pear-shaped, aka fatties.
All the "playmates" in the pictures of the women in that era dressed as "bunnies" are fatties. That's why none of the modern playmates dress as "bunnies" cos they look like fatties, aka bridget jones.
The fox is much more representative of the slender modern female sexual form propagated in our culture.
Add some DD titties on there and you're good to go!

the bunny is still around, it's just dead in the mouth of the fox. haha.
OSFA. I agree with you. A labia
