This is a great logo.
Simple, iconic, works well in mono or full color, the variation in weight and curves imply movement and speed, the way the two vertical elements of the letters come together almost like racing stripes...
It's on another level than most of these. Most game logos are too complex to be 'great' as logos.

This. The GT logo is one of the GOAT.
Am I missing something, or are you just talking about the silhouette in the middle of the "I"? It's literally just the main character's official art cut out of it; they didn't even make art specifically for the logo.
Fantastic use of negative space. FedEx tier.
The capital "R"s are really cool, though.
I've seen this post come up before about developers' and publishers' logos as well.
I'm gonna mention Double Fine, and more specifically Double Fine Presents, because even though they aren't the games' logos, they do cater to the logo to the individual games.

The Internal Variants:
The Double Fine Presents, GNOG, and Knights and Bikes Variants:
Now We Are Just Getting Crazy:
That logo screen is quickly becoming on of my favorite parts of the Double Fine games, similar to the joy I got from seeing what would happen when Gonzo blew on the trumpet in the Muppets opening or during the Simpsons couch gag.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
I'm surprised no one's posted the blowjob Giraffe yet.

"W Labyrinth"? A logo I have to look up to even be able to parse the name of the game is not a good logo.
Ok, it's Omega. Slightly clever I suppose. But that's not the symbol people generally recognize as Omega (the uppercase variant is).
I remember being blown away when I first saw those.I love that they integrated the 7 into both versions

Not seeing it...? Or are you just talking about the person in one of the letters? That's not very clever, that's just... there.
I like this (and I fucking LOVE the game), except for the ball. A grey, badly lit orb. Always thought it looked unfinished and ugly. It would look better without the 3D effect I think.

So many people here just now getting the Evolve logo. That game just cannot catch a break, lol.
Uhh...? Unless I'm missing something big, that's not a particularly clever use of negative space. That's just some guy's silhouette in the I.
THIS is how you do negative space:

The Firewatch logos are beautiful and simple, as expected from Olly Moss.

Let's face it the games have been bad for a long time, but this logo is pretty damn great. It pops off the box
Great i cant unsee that now
I agree, no letters are needed, you know it's Skyrim.
Sorry but no sorry. go out on the street and I guarantee you you will find someone who knows what game that logo is from.
Easily best Logo, hands down.
I actually don't like the sword in this logo. It ruins the serene whiteness of it all.
But I guess it's an hommage to the first game.

Junior, please.
Simple but effective. Love how they tie it into the tattoo as well.
Indeed, the GT logo is a fantastic example of branding.

Always loved the color and font of the Perfect Dark logo.
And it's groovy how they morph from the N64 logo to the title:
There are some choices higher on my list but they were already mentioned. Bioshock, Doom, and the Majora's Mask logo (I'm not even that big on purple, but I've always loved that logo with the mask).

Think both of these are great logos... EDIT: The Quake one is also a logo that works really well, missed that earlier.
The Evolve one is a very clever way to present the title of the game and similarly most of the others posted here are titles that have clever/nice fonts and flourishes rather than being great logos.

Pre-HGSS, I agree. The version names are bland af. But the Pokémon logo is as iconic as it can get. From HGSS onwards, they've improved the version logos tremendously.

Iconic.
