1889–1960

This logo was used on early products. The characters are Nin, ten, and do. All in order. This is way before the switch from cards to electronic toys and games.

1960–1964

1964–1965

1964–1967

1965–1967

1965–1967, 1977-Present

By this point, Nintendo's wordmark began to bear, more or less, a resemblance to what it is today.

The wordmark font is not bold. This variation is mostly used.

Another variation of the logo in above (red one, this is grey one)

1967–1977

1966–1975

1968–1972

This logo was shaped as a hexagon and was used in toys.

1972–1977

The shape was changed to rounded rectangle, which would become the design for over 35 years.

1977–present

This logo was adopted when Nintendo became an electronic game company.

In 2006, Nintendo changed the color to gray. Today, very few products still have the red logo.
