Nintendo Feels All Grown Up, Changes Logo

Well, it looks like Nintendo is ditching their famous red logo, with the new gray one as pictured above. Probably the oddest story of the week, but here’s the press release (translated version):

Dear Media Partner,

For several years, a new generation of Wii and Nintendo DS games have adorned themselves with a new logo, in discrete grey.

In various publications the former logo, with red lettering, can still be seen. In the event that you have not already done so, we would like to sincerely ask you to now only use the current, gray Nintendo logo.

Yours sincerely,

The team from Nintendo & Popular PR.

I always associated the red logo with “fun”, but the gray logo does look a lot cooler.
