The above image is the Nintendo logo for the modern age

The above image was the original branding that seems to have made a comeback!

It would appear that the industry veteran is moving back towards to "classic" branding, though. Nintendo of America's Twitter profile now uses the famous white-on-red version of the logo, and this has been carried across to the company's YouTube account as well. The last two videos uploaded to the Nintendo YouTube account feature the classic logo in the bottom-left corner of their thumbnail images - a recent change.

I didn't even know it changed >.>. Didn't the color just change? Not like the oval and text changed. It's nice though.

yeah it was just the color that changed. I like the change back as well. it's more outgoing and bold. Like Nintendo!

I grow up with the "old" (sorry now the "new" one again) and i liked it.
Hopefully that means we will get a new console with a new "Game and Watch" title

Microsoft Green, Playstation Blue and now Nintendo Red.

time to get a color tv.

btw, does this mean the logo of JpN releases will turn blue again?

 

[endoverend]

It will probably be universally red now.

kek

In addition to what @Harsky mentioned, I take it that this is a war declaration from Nintendo to Microsoft and Sony.

Nice. They're bringing back the original logo back but what does it mean?

They're stepping their game up just like the good ol' times.

On the good ol' times they released the games with all of its content but now they lock content to the amiibos. Will have to get Falco and Fox's amiibos to unlock the content they have locked up behind that paywall and hopefully it's a one-time unlock.

God damn the amiibo infestation.

Or it means that they're jumping onto the retro bandwagon created by all those shitty pixelated indies and will now produce pseudo-8-bit garbage under the guise of nostalgia to bilk suckers out of money. What? That's what I would do. I mean, it's 2016 and Pokemon still have pseudo-8-bit cries - they can't even spring for a recording booth when the anime "voiced" Pokemon since episode 1.

Nintendo higher ups: we are going down and down no matter what we do, we need a change now!!!
Nintendo marketing dept: what if we change our logo back to red again??
Nintendo higher ups: brilliant!!!!

 

[Lazyt]

But its still white are you colourblind? The red is only background

 

[CathyRina]

Is it really newsworthy?
Sony changed their logo to the PS1 boot screen while at the same time rebrand themselves from SCE to SIE because of a merger and no one gave a shit.

They're more than happy to give Pikachu a voice but if I have to guess, they probably need to negotiate contract with the voice actors. Pokemon Snap worked because it was a selection of monsters but I can't imagine doing it for several hundred of them AND in different languages as well. Unless they think up of some crazy sound compression, it's probably why they stick to those 8 bit sounds for Pokemon around the world in the games.

i'm not sure about that
