The more you know: Nintendo's logo is no longer red |
Ó
This little factoid would have been news years ago, but since everyone seems to have realized it only now, today it's just a factoid. So, just so you're in the know, in case someone asks: Nintendo's logo is no longer red.
*gasp*
This little bit of trivia came to light when a press release came out from Nintendo requesting media publications to switch to the "current, gray Nintendo logo":
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.
It wasn't long before someone got Nintendo on the line to confirm this, and true enough, Nintendo's logo has been grey for some time now. Two years ago in fact. Nintendo's Cammie Dunaway once explained to MTV that the change is about "letting NintendoÂ’s products shine and be prominent more than the company logo."
I always associated the logo color with Mario for some reason, so now it'll always be in the back of my head that Mario is wearing the wrong color.
Not so related article, but just so you know it's there:

Well, You are not alone on this one...
They better upgrade mario now - bring red back~
IS ME Mario~
I guess I noticed, but didn't really acknowledge it. I think it's a bad idea...
but who cares really. Nintendo should keep it blood, son. Keep it gangsta'.
Wait...wouldn't blue make more sense? Because of the blue light on the Wii?
Or can grey just be used for a much longer time than blue? Whatever.
I hate words and I hate reading.
