the wolf design in the background looks cool

 

[Maki Hirasawa]

Love this one. Related to videogames

 

[disappeared]

always liked the cobwebs.

 

[Retro]

Thread needs more animated logos. GameCube and Nintendo 64 are my favorites.

Oh god, I can actually hear it.

I really like 17 Bit's logo (Skulls of the Shogun guys)

 

[Cidd]

.

Amazing designs imo.

 

[Salsa]

I wonder about people trying to judge the logos from more of an objective standpoint and those being fond to them pureply from nostalgia or how iconic they are

like for example, I love Rare as much as the next guy, but man this version of their logo is just fugly as hell:

Shit, how could I forget! Salamander was badass.

I like you.

 

[Salsa]

Shit, how could I forget! Salamander was badass.

this one's great too. Reminds me of drawings in the sides of arcade machines

 

[ViewtifulJC]

How about those old company logos?

As a kid, I always thought this was somebody in a big dress, traveling town to town, telling tall tales

Their new logo is so ....meh

Is this better?

 

[Forkball]

This logo made billions of dollars.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

It's not just a G, it's a G AND A C. This is one perfect logo! I love the Genki one too, reminds me of fun times with Shutoku Battle.

[asclepio_gtr]

Never was a Nintendo guy, but their font/logo/design aways put a smile on my face.

 

[Salsa]

Is this better?

yes

still not a standout to me

 

[Kintaco]

Damn beat me to it! A lot of good logos already posted. I like the Iguana Entertainment one as well.

Holy shit, never realized the black part was a C. Mindblown.

 

[Manu]

I'd recognize Roger Dean's art anywhere.

[Twin Drive System]

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

One of the most memorable intro logos from the N64....

...outside of

Always loved the Bioshock logos, even the beta logo had a nice shwing to it

And now just a few more that I really like

 

[jabuseika]

always liked this one

Return To Castle Wolfenstein

 

[Beren]

Baldur's Gate SoA

 

[hwy_61]

 

[EagleBurnn]

 

[daydream]

The bee is iconic. Love the FF ones as well.

^I heard the jingle in my head to that one

Thank you, based Contra: Hard Corps

 

[Lotto]

What the fuck is that shit? It looks awful, that's the real logo

Yep, so good. That other one posted uses a weird looking font. The limited Panasonic Q Gamecube had a pretty cool logo too:

For the most part, I think video game logos are pretty good. Some of my favorites:

Some more recent ones:

Return To Castle Wolfenstein

I like this better:

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Yeah, I really like the text title for Wolfenstein. Sharp angles, no spaces, very appropriate for a game full of goose-stepping Nazi bastards you gotta kill.

 

[Salsa]

also I prefer the beta logo for Bioshock

it's obviously not as polished and the colors are very rough but I think the cleaner look with the bigger focus in shapes works much better.

Bioshock Infinite is more in line with that

 

[iLLmaticV3]

Pretty much any logo made by Square Enix, they've always been brilliant at that.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Hot shit:

always dug this except for the M, wich is unfortunate

[Grisby]

How about those old company logos?

Was totally going to post this. Still one of my favorites.

 

[Kageshinzo]

Came to post this.

Their other logo is more awesome to me though:

 

[Black Door]

Can't believe it took me this many years to realize Kain makes a vague '4' shape with his pose

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Especially the Super Mario Sunshine one. So vibrant.

 

[jyoung188]

Love all the Metal Gear stuff.

 

[Why would you do that?]

I came in here to say:

I was really hurt when they changed it to the travesty that it currently is.

Konami's games had awesome logos, too. Snatcher, Metal Gear/Solid, Skate Or Die...


Going through this thread, I'll post other logos I thought were really awesome at one point:


Aperture

Atari

an't believe that was made in the early '70s...


Psygnosis

When I first saw it after Sony shut them down, I thought "wow that looks so European demoscene" lol. I might just be talking crazy, but whatever, it's awesome.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

That reminds me:

 

[Timurid]

I have a FOXHOUND shirt.

 

[CorySchmitz]

I was just going to write a little feature about this!

These are my favorites:

I really like Guerrilla Games' logo too, but it's not quite top 10 material.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

great logo. Back before they went to the dark side
