Nintendo
1965–1975
By this point, Nintendo's wordmark began to bear, more or less, a resemblance to what it is today.
1965–1966
1966-1966
1966–1968
1968–1970
This logo was shaped as a hexagon and was used on toys.
1970–1975
The shape was changed to rounded rectangle, which would become the main design for over 40 years.
1975-1984
1984–1995
The ”racetrack” is added.
1995-2008
The current logo is a little bolder and the racetrack fits tighter around the text when compared to the earlier version.
2008-2016
The logo's color was changed from red to gray. The red logo is still used in some cases.
2016-Present
Nintendo phased out their gray variant as the company's main logo and re-introduced the red colour, but as a background colour against a white variant of their logo. This mirrors the branding of the Nintendo Switch where the logo is normally contained within a red box.
