Iger sees opportunities to increase the pricing of Hulu.
Disney Vault was right there and a known name with a concept that just won't continue in a digital world effectively. And they just ignored it.
Part of the reason Hulu has struggled compared to Netflix is the cost being greater for a similar experience. I mean I like Hulu way more but I also pay over twice as much for it.
They have kind of gone away from the Vault concept. It was a fun concept.But at least for me “Disney Vault” would be just old stuff and wouldn’t connote all the new material
I personally like the name Disney+, and the fact the + sign curves well with the Pixie Dust trail that arches over the logo, as per the Castle. However, it'll be interesting to see what the app icon would look like, though I'd imagine it to be just the Disney D and the + sign.But at least for me “Disney Vault” would be just old stuff and wouldn’t connote all the new material

Problem I have with it is that it isn't unique. It doesn't stand out as something special. We already have dozens of pluses, goes, and nows. It doesn't suggest that the service will be any different than all the other options.I personally like the name Disney+, and the fact the + sign curves well with the Pixie Dust trail that arches over the logo, as per the Castle.

It does, however, fit within the existing + brands Disney already uses in the Parks such as FastPass+ and PhotoPass+, so the precedent of using the + again was already there.Problem I have with it is that it isn't unique.

I was honestly surprised that it was going to be part of Disney+, given that they also have Hulu as an avenue for releases that wouldn't fit within the Disney Trinity.National Geographic on streaming? That's too bad. I have exactly one show I watch on it so I won't follow it but I will miss it.
