Kris Sowersby designed the custom typeface Serrano for them,

hes an excellent type designer btw, check out his other work.they based the logo on this face, but did a little barstading of it I think. You'll notice the letters dont match etc.
If youve got a spare couple of hours you can read through this typophile thread on the typeface, where type nuts talk extensively about counter spaces, ascenders etc etc.... http://typophile.com/node/50053

does it really bother you that much?

Does the bank sell toys, make ice cream or financial transactions?

looks childish and too playful

yeah, I'm kind of bothered by the space between the b and the nz. If that was intentional (and I think it was) they should have gone further with that idea. It kind of creates an awkward tension as it stands.

I know I know they wanted to symbolise the nz as NEW ZEALAND, but it could be much better.

makes sense to me, and the curve follows the base of the z, and the tail on the b helps promote that

they needed the update, the orig feels so oldskool

Not bad. At least they didn't go with the typical 'corporate' bullshit ideas... (rant)

I have to agree, I'm not too sure about that connector between the n and the z. now that I look at it, I don't like the little tail on the b either. honestly, this mark looks a bit juvenile, not like a corporation or banking institution.

Could the reason for the nz be because its the Bank of New Zealand, and not Bank New Zealand, or something like that. If im making any sense at all let me know haha.
Nice though, little cutesy...

Don't mind it at all, better than the old one for once. Maybe if the "b" was closer to the "nz"?

Looks like it was left out in the rain a little too long

not bad, is it?
- its not bad, but the nz curve sucksmoamoa
- theres got to be a reason for that curveWeLoveNoise
- I like it but I can't help feel that the right part of the 'n' and the 'z' should be slightly lower to balance it better.Sandman_1982
