“I can’t wait to see their next brilliant logo design!”
ಠ_ಠ
Just wait until you see the sequel to this one.
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
But the “ii” part bows to you! Its revolutionary!
Oh I thought that was like “we” cuz you play alone most of the time.
Random Nintendo execs show up to your house unannounced.
“We would like to play”
You stare at them blankly for a beat then shut the door in their faces. This is your time away from the world and its demands. No one will take that away from you.
That whole era had really shitty design. “Sleek this, minimalist that. Only black/white/greys allowed”. Got old real fast.
My brain just did some work. Now I can’t unseen this as that manly handshake scene from Predator. The two 'i’s are the guys, and the ‘W’ is a zoom-in of their handshake.
I can hear this picture
Now I’m holding Z. Can you hear the difference?
Now I’m holding Z on all 4 controllers.
I only recently learned about this one!
I don’t remember anyone passing this trick around back in the day. Maybe because most people didn’t have 4 controllers?
was there a difference?
Yeah, you could hold the Z button at startup and it would make squeaking sounds instead of the normal thing.
i have never seen that before, til!

I have the GB color, gamecube and og xbox intros set as boot intros on my steamdeck. Always a neat thing to look at.
I still contend that the GameCube controller is the best designed controller on the market in terms of comfort and usability.
Generally, but it has some issues. I found the C-stick to be very uncomfortable with the lack of a cap, and you can’t really press two face buttons at the same time unless one of them is A. The latter isn’t usually a problem, but certain games, like the Arkham series, would be virtually unplayable. That there’s only one shoulder button on one side is also pretty weird. The dual stage triggers are pretty neat, though, and the only other controller I’ve used with them is the Steam Controller, which has a pretty steep learning curve.
Using different sizes and shapes for the buttons based on frequency of use (and to help new gamers not have to look down) was a really smart idea.
The C-stick and Z bumper are the two big weaknesses. If it had a proper twin-stick design instead of the C-stick nub, and actual bumpers that felt good, it would hands down be the best controller ever designed.
This one or the N64 logo (with its 64 faces) is the greatest real logo
Didn’t realize it had 64 faces that’s cool af
I don’t see how the N64 logo can have 64 faces. I counted 24 faces.
I’ve just looked it up, and it seems to just come from a Reddit post where they explain how they’ve worked it out, but in their working out they’ve triple-counted the N-shaped faces.
Probably the actual 3d representation does
A 3D representation would be made of triangles… so maybe that?
Wait til they hear about the arrow in the FedEx logo
Kinda related -
The logo of Annecy, capital of Haute Savoie -
Why it’s so clever - the flag of Haute Savoie -
Edit, forgot to add, the Swiss flag has red gaps at the ends of the white cross, in case you were wondering
Also good to know that haute Savoie is the most Swiss part of France so the similarities are no coincidence (I assume).
It’s literally right next to Geneva
Damn that’s actually clean af
Some random guy in a remote part of France is an amazing graphic designer
Yeah you know me.
Now, for the ladies, OCP means something gifted.
Orange County Police! Get your hands up dirtbag!
The first two letter’s the same, but the last is something different.
It still bothers me that the cube inside the cube is bigger than the outer line, despite forming the outer line during the intro animation. It will never stop bothering me.
It’s too derivative of the N64 logo if you ask me. Jk, they’re both pretty good.
The N64 logo was equally as creative maybe even more, with its 64 faces and 64 vertices.
Nintendo take down of this post in 3…
There are a couple of men in monogramed red and green hats at my front door. Should I open it?
Just tell them you’re in another castle
The Peach Maneuver
Now that’s clever. Nicely done
Not to mention all the memes it spawned.
i’d like to have a graphic design community on here
I second this.
Godel, Escher, Bach did it first, but even cooler.
Likely inspired the design.
Humans are so friggin creative I can’t stands it.
