hsrob said: Of course you can find examples of Nintendo using red, but I've yet to see a strong argument for why Sony should be blue in preference. Nintendo have been using the white and blue motif since Wii days which is over nine years now. Their game cases are blue, their logo is blue, the loading icon is blue, they use blue LEDs on the console and controllers and last time I looked the predominant colour on Mario's outfit was......
(Hint: I don' think the answer is red) |
For nintendo... Nintendo adopted a light blue case for wii u because of the U in the wii u logo being light blue
Less emphasis overall on the blue vs ps logo
Plus the 3DS adopted a red logo
Was red now grey nintendo logo (So overall branding)
Mario being nintendos main mascot, moreso than simply an IP:
3DS box generally being the color of console rather than an overarching theme
Wii u/3ds OS following theme of shiny white
Edit: So thats my argument for why PS should be blue, and nintendo should be something other than blue. Blue matches wii u branding, but not nintendo branding
Red or gray would be the obvious choices
