No bring backed the winged eagle.

Improvement over last era but wish the logo was smaller. I know the giant logo is the point but I don't like it.

Overall? Yeah, honestly, they're kinda sick. I loved the tag belts that had the gladiator/Spartan/whatever helmets on them, though, but I also didn't like that both sets were the same, just in different colors.

I'm torn on this. Design-wise, they're definitely worse. That said, thematically, it makes sense for the logo to be larger on those belts, since you're literally THE champion/s of the company. Bigger logo = bigger value is a thematic choice I don't immediately hate.

The new tag belts and the world titles with the obvious Big Gold Belt influence are fine.

But the two giant logo belts that look like oversized novelty belt buckles are hideous and need to go.

Edit: And though not pictured, the IC and US titles are okay, but need more colour. Specifically the top part of the US title where the stars are needs a dark blue background, you know, just like the actual US flag. The IC Title needs the globes coloured light blue like all the previous IC Titles' globes were. The all black make it look too flat and monochrome.

They look much better close up when you can actually see the design:

It's a more old school design and I absolutely love it.

The new WWE Tag Team Titles that debuted last night are fantastic. A clear homage to the belts from the 80s and early 90s. My favorite belts from WWE in years.

It's extremely subjective. Some people love the "Big gold belt" look where you see a ton of gold and don't even necessarily see all of the design half the time. Other people love thematic belts that fit the character, like the Smoking Skull belt for Steve Austin, the Brahma Bull belt for The Rock, etc. Some like the more simplistic "logo" designs because they consider them less gaudy. It tends to depend on when you first started like wrestling.

I'm a late 80s/early 90s baby, so I love me some Big Gold Belts, which is why I love these tag titles, for example.

It'd be nice to know which they even are.

Obviously the double belts are tag team championships, but those bottom four in the OP all look very similar aside from the strap color.

Never thought I'd be saying this, but damn I kinda miss the spinner belt.

I will forever hate Cena for that shit. Edge with the spinner belt doesn't make sense.

Upper left = Raw Tag Titles
Upper Right = Smackdown Tag Titles
Lower Left = Mens titles (Top = Raw, Bottom = SD)
Lower Right = Womens titles (Top = SD, Bottom = Raw)

I do also like that the men's and women's titles are the same (or very similar?), just different color straps. It goes a long way in making the divisions feel more equal.

Also, I do need to amend my thoughts. I thought the "big logo" belts were the Raw belts. Realizing they're the Smackdown ones, I feel like that loses the thematic notion I thought they were going for, since... To this day, everybody considers Raw the bigger brand. So then, yes, I agree that the big logo belts are just kinda... Bad.

EDIT: That said, there are definitely people out there that like them, so I get why they kept that design. Some people just like less "busy" belts.

Not really. The new World Title or whatever they introduced the last year was pretty good looking, the others just look overly branded instead of like an actual title.

It's why I liked the 80's and 90's belts way more. They didn't have the company branded all over it, so it didn't feel like a WCW only or WWF only belt. Now it's just marketing shit.

The themed belts were cool until they refused to remove the Cena spinner belt for whatever stupid reason. But the Smoking Skull, NWO, and Peoples champ belts were pretty timeless.
