| spemanig said: I'm not really a fan of it, though. Like, I get it, but how will it work? This isn't the same as the old logo where the logo was red. The logo is white and the background is red. Will the background color change depending on the background or will it just revert to the old color scheme when not behind a red background? But, it could be worse. I'm actually partial to the orange Nintendo Network logo. Simple, clean, and modern. Oh well. |
Details. Minor Details :P
But I think the larger point here is that Nintendo is going to be a more central aspect of their branding. Like it used to be the Nintendo 64, the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Nintendo GameCube, and initially the Nintendo Wii (though that faded out fairly fast) ( and incidentally the handhelds have never deviated from this; the 3DS is still marketed as the "Nintendo 3DS"). The later Wii years and the Wii U have kinda tried to be their own brand. I think now they want to go back to having the Nintendo brand as a stable foundation. So the next thing will be the Nintendo "something". It makes sense. Nintendo is a highly recgonizable brand name and the red and white scheme will catch the eye (and trigger the nostalgia) more easily. Not to mention many gamers associate the red and white scheme with the golden years of Nintendo in their eyes, the era of OoT, MM, SM64, Perfect Dark, Golden Eye, etc etc. So it has more positive associations than the silver and white scheme.
