Yes, kids jump when they hear the name. Even teens are not behind. There have been many video gaming companies, but no one ever beaten Nintendo. Its logo, though not very impressively designed, has got the ability to rule the industry depicting the strength of its company.
Nintendo as a company
Nintendo is a Japan based multinational company that develop video games. It was founded on 23rd of September, 1889 by Fusajiro Yamuschi to create the Japanese playing cards which extended to the development of the video games. Since then it has been ruling the world of computer and video games. Among so many other companies in Japan, it is the third biggest in the country holding a tremendous and astonishing market worth. The notable milestones achieved by the company are Nintendo Entertainment system (which was brought into the market in 1985), Game boy, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance SP, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, and Wii.
The NES was a knockout as soon it was released. Nintendo Entertainment System gets all the credit to modernize and reform the brains of video game developers. Over the course of years, Nintendo produced much more smashes in the world of video gaming.
Nintendo’s Plainer logo
The big company holds a very plain logo. It consists of the comprehensible typeface name of the company, encapsulated. As if it is the tradition of all great and successful companies, Nintendo employs a simple emblem as well to reflect its power in the relevant industry. The text of the logo is surrounded or enclosed by a capsule like structure that place much prominence and highlighting to the Nintendo logo. As the company produces and promotes games for children, the simplicity and easiness of the emblem makes it possible for them to recognize and remember for years. Though not very crafty or artistic, the logo is acknowledged and appreciated around the globe.
The color of the company’s badge is red that shows its power in the industry, high-spiritedness, exuberance and energy. Moreover, red is a good option to draw public’s attention as the color is known best for grabbing the responsiveness and to make the logo noticeable from a distance. Initially the background color used to be black but that dulls out the logo. It was abandoned in 1977 and a white background was used instead which made the red color more eye-catching. The typography is also bold, simple and straightforward to make it comprehensible. The boldness stands it out in the crowd.
There are sub logos for its different products like Nintendo 64, Nintendo Game club and Nintendo Wii. All these sub logos are much more striking, highly effective and better designed. Nevertheless, the original and main Nintendo logo has been so widespread and popularized that it still conveys the exact outlook and standing of the company even with a meeker and greener logo.
