It was first reported by the reddit user, "Dvizzle", back in November that there was speculation of a new title design for WWE's Intercontinental Championship. Now there have even been more talks of changing the design, but also plans going forward are to change the look of the United States Championship as well.
This user has been reliable for the latest scoops on title designs in the past. In August he reported that the new Universal Championship would look the same as the WWE Championship, except in the color red to represent the RAW brand.
The Intercontinental Championship is currently held by Dean Ambrose, and is exclusive to the Smackdown brand. On the other brand. RAW holds the United States Championship, and that is currently held by Chris Jericho. Looking at the talent that holds WWE's minor championships, it wouldn't shock me if we see these designs change sooner rather than later.
To spice things up, this is a good idea. It'd be pulled off better if moving into WrestleMania (maybe after the Rumble), a new design was revealed. Then say the RAW after Mania we get the second new design. That way both don't get thrown at us at once. Overall though, the new designs aren't a must have, but will be a nice change. I personally love the IC Title design since it has such a rich history, and don't believe it needs a change. As for the US Title, it is relatively generic and could use a change.
Now I ask, do you believe the belts should have a new look? It is a nice way to change things up moving into Mania, or after, but is it really needed? Guess it's a way for WWE to make more money, like they need it.
