Yes and I am always thinking that they use Maxis as a logo now and the real Maxis team has long been gone.
They are long gone. Only a small remnant of them remains. Do they still use the logo? I thought the studio's name was changed to something like SimsStudio, or something like that. Rod Humble was the one who took over for S3 from Will Wright. That much I know.
-points to bottom of thread page- They still use it. I could say what I think about why they still use it.. but I will restrain myself. If I remember right (too hot to sleep and I am sleepy) they took up using it again in Sims 3.
They still use it because the company hasn't changed, just the people in it.
EA got Maxis to work on Spore, and EA renamed the Sims team "TheSimsStudio" in 2005 and moved it out of Maxis.
In 2013, EA moved TheSimsStudio back under Maxis, so now TheSimStudio exists within Maxis.
It's the same team since The Sims launched, people have left, people have come.
And TheSimsStudio is the same team, it's just simply if The Sims come under Maxis, or EA.
