GAME DEVELOPER LOGS

GAME DEVELOPER LOGS

5Th Cell

5TH Cell is an independently owned video game developer founded in 2003 as 5TH Cell Media. This company currently develops video games for the Nintendo DS and Wii. A great logo because it really connects to the brand name, plus it looks really futuristic.

Atari

If you don’t know Atari, you’ve probably spend the last 40 years under a rock. A pioneer in arcade games, video game consoles and home computers. Because this company has been around for so long, most people will recognize the logo without the brand name. Even if you’ve never played a single video game, you’ve more than likely seen this logo on one of their promotional products.  A simple and functional logo.

Codemasters

One of the oldest British video game developers. They’ve had various logo’s, but this is the newest. I like it because of the integration of the letters C and M. The 3D effect suits a game developing company.

Electronic Arts

The biggest third-party game developer. Famous for sport games and games based on popular movies. Because this company is so big, it’s one of the most recognized logo’s in the game industry.

Guerilla Games

Guerrilla Games is a first party video game developer and wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment. This company from the Netherlands, is famous for its war-games (Killzone, Shellshock). The logo gives us a clue about their focus on war-games.

Lionhead

Another Britisch game developer. This company is famous for its RTS games, such as Black&White and Fable. The use a real simple logo that sybmolises the company name.

Rockstar

Rockstar, creator of the GTA series. Personally, I think this is one of the best logo’s in this list. I like it because it’s a real eye-catcher. The logo of every Rockstar studio varies slightly. You can take a look at the other logo’s here.

Square Enix

A Japanese game developer, best known for its “anime game” franchises. This company uses a great font in this design. The letter E connects the 2 parts of the company (Square Enix was formed as the result of a merger between rivals Square Co. and the Enix Corporation).

Ubisoft

The third-largest independent video game publisher in Europe. This is one of my favorite logo’s. It looks complicated, yet simple at the same time. Awesome graphic + great font = good logo.

 Video Game Company Logos  

1. Rare

Rare chief: “we felt now was the time to have a new image 


more in keeping with an innovative and creative 


entertainment company which aspires to be around for at 


least the next 25 years!”  But oh, how we pine for their N64 


days.

2. Sega

Before they made video games, Sega made mechanical 


arcade cabinets, although their old logo looks more like 


something you’d see hanging on a banner over a medieval 


great hall.

3. LucasArts

Back when LucasArts was called “LucasFilm Games,” it had 

yet another logo, but the golden sunshine man that you 


remember from the side of your Rebel Assault game back in 


the day has persevered since 1991. At that, he got a facelift 


with a less crunchy look in 2005.

4. Valve

Which is creepier: A red valve in a thinly moustached man’s 


eye, as we saw in the first Half-Life, or a red valve plugged 


into the brainstem of a scary bald wrestler man? The jury’s 


out.

5. Square-Enix

When Square and Enix merged in ’03, Square’s color 


scheme won the day. Here’s hoping the castle in the 


background is some sort of EarthBound revival clue that no 


one’s yet decoded.

6. Namco-Bandai

Without getting into how Namco’s pre-merger gaming legacy 


was vastly superior to Bandai’s (sorry, Mighty Morphin Power 


Rangers for SNES, but Pac-Man and Galaga got you beat), 


how oh how did two red-and-white logos merge into a 


freakish, ugly love story between a red and a yellow 


amoeba?

7. Blizzard

Yes, Blizzard used to be called “Silicon & Synapse” and 


have a grumpy, anthropomorphic brain wearing shoes as its 


mascot. But its current logo is still pretty old-school: It’s 


been basically unchanged since 1994.

8. Funcom

Age of Conan developer Funcom traded its kooky ’90s 


trapezoid for a red circle that vaguely reminds us of LG.

9. EA

Apparently, EA’s old logo confused people.Wikipedia: “Many 


customers mistook the square/circle/triangle logo for a 


stylized “EOA.” Though they thought the “E” stood for 


“Electronic” and “A” for “Arts”, they had no idea what the “O” 


could stand for, except perhaps the o in “Electronic.” An 


early newsletter of EA, Farther, even jokingly discussed the 


topic in one issue, claiming that the square and triangle 


indeed stood for “E” and “A”, but that the circle was merely 


“a Nerf ball that got stuck in a floppy drive and has been 


popping up on our splash screens ever since.” It’s still 


enough to induce waves of nostalgia in anyone who’s 


playedStarflight.

10. Epic Games

Back when it was called “Epic MegaGames,” Epic’s logo 


definitely had swagger, declaring itself “the new name in 


computer entertainment” with a decidedly ’90s box array; 


today, it rocks a badge that isn’t out of place alongside the 


shooters and action games that are its trademark.

11. THQ

As much as I would like to objectively compare these, the 


presence of Ren and Stimpy in the logo to the left shifts my 


allegiances irreversibly in that direction.

12. SNK

Since the modern SNK’s removal of serifs is not particularly 


earth-shattering, here, have a cool, possibly true story about 


the origins of SNK vs. Capcom, the fighting game which took 


the maybe-too-bold-but-still-fruitful step of assuming that 


rank-and-file gamers had any idea what “SNK” was.

Street Fighter Wikia: “The supposed origin behind this series 


was an issue of Arcadia magazine in which there were 


articles covering both The King of Fighters ’98 and Street 


Fighter Alpha 3, both of which were released at around the 


same time. Readers had misread the cover, which said KOF 


vs. SF, to mean that there was a fighting game that would 


pit characters from theStreet Fighter and The King of 


Fighters series.”

13. Bethesda

Can’t say I’m crazy about the current logo for the company 


behind The Elder Scrolls and Fallout 3, but it beats 


something that looks like it was designed by the Terminator 


himself.

14. Ubisoft

Left: ’90s overload. Right: ’00s overload. (It was rolled out in 


2003.) What will the dawn of the new decade bring?

15. Nintendo

As you may well be aware, before Nintendo did video 


games, they did playing cards. One translation of the 


original kanji is “work hard, but it remains in the hands of 


heaven at last”; accurate or no, that seems like a pretty apt 


description of the gaming experience in more than one 


Nintendo game.
