Nothing beats the original red, but this is alright!

 

[D Bo Chops]

Much better than that weird light blue they have for Wii U game cases and media. Also the white/grey Wii stuff was equally drab. Red will look nice.

 

[Platy]

My Nintendo logo is not a hat, it is a h@t

 

[Champion]

Good job Nintendo.

LMAO!
At least its red. I'm not a fan of the neutral gray they've been going with lately.

 

[illadelph]

why do they have a bush for their logo?

Clouds are just white bushes

 

[nnarum]

I like it. Now bring on some info on the NX

 

[Breakage]

What is that My Nintendo logo supposed to be?

 

[magnificenz]

Looks like crawdaunt's claw.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Now the big three are all distinct different colors.

As God intended.

RED-GREEN-BLUE

Smell that primary color goodness

Edit: Steam should go purple.

 

[Caffeine]

good the soul less gray before was awful

there is literally 20 posts right above yours explaining it...

 

[PokéKong]

This can only mean they are going in THIS direction with the design of the NX

 

[protomouse]

To be honest, I think the classic red-on-white can't be beaten. Either way, a return to color is much appreciated (and more appropriate for current times).

 

[Japanmanx3]

The red capes are coming.

Ugh!

 

[Ridley327]

An Otterbox?

 

[SUPERJEM94]

Glad they're going back to red, I missed it so much.

 

[valkillmore]

Wii U failed and now Nintendo is seeing red.

 

[virtualS]

Wish they'd invert the colours... red text on white background like it should be.

 

[ForsakenLotus]

It makes sense. The Nintendo logo was already red, their mascot is largely identified as red, plus Sony and Microsoft have strongly aligned themselves with a color to increase brand recognition.

I don't know how much of a difference this makes, but I think it's a good decision.

 

[Lunar15]

I'd prefer a red logo, but whatever. As long as the era of grey is over.

 

[DeployThatPizza]

I'm glad to see this. The red logo looks good.

 

[komorebi]

Its psychological blitz to get the public to stop, look, and listen. "Nintendo's back, so stop and look. Please. Because if you don't the company as you know it is doomed. Also: strawberries = good = red = Nintendo."

 

[DeepEnigma]

Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony almost too coincidental with their choices of brand color.

The choice paradigm.

 

[KojiKnight]

Team red... Like amd, who've been making their hardware since GameCube.

 

[MilkBeard]

Now the big three are all distinct different colors.

As God intended.

Roy G Biv, baby

 

[AGITΩ]

All about some Red.
Hopefully NX game boxes are a cool transparent red. I miss Red Nintendo. The Blue Ocean has become the Red Sea. It's time to part with the old world.

 

[Hero of Legend]

I agree it's great to see the red again! I only wish it was the logo itself that was red, but I see the unity of this with the My Nintendo logo also being this way.

Nintendo kept that previous logo for so long because it was grey....t, great! /s

 

[Ansatz]

Wii era coming to an end after 10 years. I really like the new logo.

 

[Who]

Man I really think they are going to go back to basics with the naming of the NX too.

Nintendo Home and Nintendo Pocket would be perfect.

 

[RainbowIslands]

It coincides with the new fiscal year too; perfect time for an image change before NX. Nintendo is/was always red in my mind so it doesn't really change much, imo.

 

[YearoftheWooster]

lol at Conker sitting in the corner in plain sight before chainsawing the logo.

Ah, N64 emulation errors.

Technically it's not an emulation "error", but more so it was included on purpose since the emulator rendered 16:9, outside the original field of view. It's still nice to know where programmers place their models when you think they haven't loaded yet.

 

[daTRUballin]

Ehh. I was expecting the logo itself changing back to red before clicking on the thread, but it's only the background.

But hey, it looks pretty cool. Sort of feels like classic Nintendo.

Edit: And I see they changed the logo from gray to white, didn't they?

 

[BuggyMike]

God I hated that light blue/white/grey combination.

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

So.. red for Nintendo, blue for Sony, green for Microsoft..



What will you choose?

And that's why Squirtle and Ivysaur were cut from Smash Bros.

[Metal Khaos]

Same. They just need to go back to that classic red logo. It works.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

They've been pulling into a different direction for the past year.

 

[Arthursw1]

This dude loved this thread so much that he just posted the images and info to his own site as "Real News" he did't even changed the order of the images

[StayDead]

Red Nintendo is definately best Nintendo.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

There should be a RZA song detailing the RGB game conspiracy

Illuminati flying through your digital vortex

 

[The Giant]

There was 1 or 2 wii games that nintendo used blue and that looked good.

 

[BizzyBum]

As it should be. I hated when they switched it to grey.

 

[Nzyme32]

Personally I would like it if they go Red. Not really seen it as a primary colour for quite a while in gaming. Sony goes with Blue, Steam is different Blue / Grey, Blizzard has a Purple / blue going on, Xbox is Green. Why not red. I like it.

 

[gafneo]

Keen eye you've got there. I think the color is definitely symbolic. Youtube and Netflix we see red. 2 steaming platforms. Also, Nintendo is rumored to be releasing a streaming device.

 

[Shig]

This can only mean they are going in THIS direction with the design of the NX

I wouldn't object if a red system was one of the launch colors. Black and/or white consoles at launch are such a bland first foot forward.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

I really, really like this logo, too. It's an evolution of the Club Nintendo logo, it looks like a cloud, it looks like a Mario hat, and you can draw it in one stroke! Genius.

Indeed.

I'm usually not a fan of flat design, but this really looks great, and like you said, symbolizes a lot with a little.

 

[-shadow-]

I honestly would love if the next console would go with red game cases. NSMBW looked great in it!

 

[megashock5]

Yellow will be Dreamcast 2.

That would have to be orange imo.

 

[Davey Cakes]

Why did Nintendo ever mess around with the GOAT logo is still beyond me. Just bring it back.

No no. What Nintendo is doing with the inversion is smart. It's a bit more modern now, but it's in the same spirit.

 

[BY2K]

Maybe it's Nintendo's way to get rid of the confusion.

"LOOK! OURS IS RED. RED! R-E-D! GOT IT?"
