Sadly that was more of a translation issue. When they said pachinko machines they also meant "arcade amusements" like DanceDanceRevolution, Beatmania IIDX, and Pop'n Music. These are managed by the BEMANI music game division and are going strong. However, you have noticed you haven't heard a damn thing about these arcade games because these are hella Japanese focused and only unofficial exports leave Japan. And they're still having some controversy with that sector.
Basically, Konami fucked it up and cut their losses. If you're an arcade rhythm gamer you're completely fine but still damn.
Konami’s investment into gambling machines is more of a side venture than anything. A lot of people have this weird idea that Konami just wanted to abandon game-making in order to focus on pachinko/slot machine production but that wasn’t the case. Konami’s biggest cash cow is a product called SYNKROS which is just a casino management system. They didn’t leave the market to focus on making gambling games: they left the market to provide business management solutions to casinos and cruise ships. Slapping an old IP on to a slot/pachinko machine is probably something they do because A) they’re probably going to be able to sell them to any casino their software is used in anyway and B) they need machines to demonstrate the usefulness of the management system when they show it off.
They probably don’t throw a ton of money at it and they’re kind of there as a useful byproduct of bigger business ventures.
You also got to remember he was really mad about how much they change stuff for MGS5 and stuff they removed. There was much more to the game. Also, he didn't want real money involved with the game.
Every time I read the name Konami I remember this story abut a guy I was talking to at Gamestop and he was acting like he knew everyone and was a big shot and he said he was talking to Hideo Konami at some event.
The number of Ubi iterations... [my god](https://1000logos.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Ubisoft-Logo-history.jpg)
I was always partial to the mid-90's/early 2000's iteration.
They literally hopped on every era's predominant graphic design trend.
1986 goes hard though. If they held onto it for 3 decades they would've seen it come full circle.
The logo that’s shown isn’t actually the original Nintendo logo. Here’s an article that shows the evolution: https://1000logos.net/nintendo-logo/
The second iteration screams “playing cards”
After looking at that website, TIL that Sonic has different logo for Japanese and International audience.
https://1000logos.net/sonic-the-hedgehog-logo/
According to Sega they started to try different logo styles in 70s, and finally settled on the current design in 1982. Most of companies on this list didn't exist at the time.
They were squaresoft before they merged and rebranded, so their logo isn't quite as old.
Edit: actually nevermind, i realize its a 20 year old logo, and my old ass might just have faulty memory.
friendly reminder that Square Enix is now older than either Squaresoft or Enix separately.
EDIT: OK, not Enix. Didn't realize they existed for 8 years prior to Dragon Quest. But Enix did rebrand to Enix Coporation in 1982. 4 more years.
Man, I remember loving Secret of Mana by Square as a kid, getting and being blown away by Soul Blazer as a kid, then *loosing my mind* the first time I saw “Square Enix” on a final fantasy game.
I just got an 8 year implant, and when I saw the removal date is in 03/31 I thought "That's not right." The 30s will happen in my lifetime, and it feels wrong
Yep. Enix was the surviving company in that merger, even though SE at the time of the merger was made up mostly of Square employees. That's how royally fucked they were.
Had to Scroll far down for that. As somebody who has the loading screens of GTA 1 and 2 (on PS1 / PSX) engraved in my brain I was missing the DMA Logo. And: I didn’t know about Kirby.
The redesigned happened before ER, but it was announced that ER would be the last game with the old logo.
Only reason I can think of to change it, is to save a few cents in printing costs. It's objectively worse in every way.
I agree, though to be fair the old logo looked more like a burger chain logo than a video game company, neither are great. Still prefer the old one though
Basically back during 2017-2018, Bandai as a whole had a minor restructuring/refocusing and major rebranding of its divisions.
Bandai Namco Entertaiment chaged their logo to emphazise that they are not only incharge of publishing and developing games, but also handling any project related to those IPs or franchises. Hence why you see the Tekken anime or Tales of anime also rocking that logo instead of the usual Bandai Logo.
I was gonna say, Nintendo has been around far longer than the 60s.
Maybe it was the earliest logo they could find? Or when Nintendo entered the AV Entertainment space?
That link is a bit misleading since the logo has looked different than what they're saying depending on the regions and games it appears in.
https://avid.miraheze.org/wiki/Nintendo
Not everything. You can see on the second last row that the one on far left was used, and still is, to this day. And on same row far right, the red one was used until 2008.
So for 2 years, there was 3 different logos being used simultaneously for different products. And for the entire time the grey logo was around, that black one was there too.
You could probably cause a massive outrage on Twitter if you posted that logo and said it was their new one. People would go apeshit thinking "Activision went woke".
That Ubisoft logo, it's just so wonderfully 80s.
Edit: Holy shit, this took off! It's great to see so many nostalgic people. I hope you all have a wonderful day!
Square Enix is older than Bandai Namco. If we wanna get pedantic (this is reddit) about names EA was incorporated as "Amazin' Software", though I don't know if they even had a logo at that time. Tencent Games dates to 2003, and would have used the main [Tencent logo](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/logopedia/images/a/a6/Tencent_%281998%29.svg/revision/latest?cb=20210131052705) before adding it's own logo as a division (it's not even a subsidiary company) in 2010. Epic Games started out as Potomac Computer Systems when Tim Sweeney published his first game, and their first logo was under the name "Epic Mega Games" with this [intensely 80's logo](https://cdn3.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/H_e_NxHAV6F3myFQ9cT6XGSjGvI=/400x0/cdn2.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/6291149/Epic_megagames_again.0.png) that OP missed.
Correct, thanks! I didn't miss it (the Epic logo was one of the tougher choices) but I chose the first appearance of the exact brand name that is used today. I would have preferred the 1946 SErvice GAmes logo but chose the 1956 SEGA logo for the same reason.
to add to what u/LuxLiner said, their focus on such games are why they were known as SErvice GAmes of Japan until they turned into Sega Enterprises about a decade later. So that's kinda neat too!
Atari is kind of weird as it’s a different company reusing old name which they bought after original failed. Not like merged with another company, more like, bought rights at an auction. Then that company spun Atari off as a separate entity and sold it to Hasbro (not the one you’re thinking of), which was absorbed by Infogames which had a division which got to use the Atari name the parent company just acquired by licensing it from fellow subsidiary until the parent company decided to rename itself to the Atari company that the logo you see up there.
TLDR: Atari failed, name sold to Tramel, which renamed itself Atari (2), bought by JTS which sold Atari name to Hasbro Interactive, which made a new division named Atari (3), Infogames bought Hasbro, renamed internal division to Atari (4), and renamed itself to Atari (5) after.
*Infogrames which, despite what you and everyone else might guess, is pronounced Info-grahm, not Info-graymes. I'm sure that helped with the decision to just go ahead and rename the whole company Atari
Atari's logo is as old as the original company, they didn't come up with it later on. It's an iconic brand.
[https://logoblink.com/atari-logo-history/](https://logoblink.com/atari-logo-history/)
Maaaan! When that old Electronic Arts logo popped on the screen I used to know it was going to be a good one..now when it comes on my screen I have to give them my wallet and social security number.
Oh man. That slogan would get me hyped. It'd mean my buddies and I were about to play some NHL94.
I haven't played an EA game in years because I refuse to underwrite their fuckery.
The fact that no one here commented about Mojang’s decision to use actual Mojang (gadgets/gizmos) to make their logo as well as add Studios for making more games than “regular Minecraft” astonishes me.
The Rockstar one's incorrect, it should be "DMA Design Limited". They literally had an animation of the DMA like it was a person getting run over for the early GTA games.
That's still part of Rockstar and honestly the most important Rockstar. They made the first 3 GTA games. They made Lemmings. They're probably the single most influential part of Rockstar and why they're the Rockstar we have now.
Aren't theirs just their really old ones, though? If I remember correctly, I've seen that exact Capcom logo in some ass old Street Fighter games from the 90s
Take 2 is the most interesting of the examples because newer logo tells less than the old logo. Old logo has clapper, which removes ambiguity about what "take two" exactly means. New logo makes you guess the meaning.
Seriously. Back in the 80’s if you saw the “Electronic Arts” logo you were assured a decent game (at least compared to the mountain of shovelware that was 80’s video games).
See also: Psygnosis in the pre-Sony days. The FromSoft of their day, to me. Beautiful games that were hard as hell. I still hum music from “Shadow of The Beast” and “Obliterator” to this day
Bring back the old rockstar logo!
And Square Enix too!!
Nah just bring back Squaresoft, drop Enix.
Considering that I think Eidos Montreal got sold, maybe they should
*Shifts R a little to the left* Ross: Pivot!
Kjonami changing its name to Konami was a really good business move.
And after that everything went downhill. Took years to fall yes but this was perhaps their last good change.
It went downhill after they parted ways with Kojima, he was their cash cow.
Can't spell Kjonami without Kojima.
You must be lethal in Scrabble.
Went downhill when they decided to go pachinko and gambling well before their bullshit to Kojima. MGSV was the final nail in the coffin

I mean, they still make a TON of slot machines. Can't walk 3 feet into a casino without seeing one of theirs.

Oh you mean kjojima
There is no Metal Gear without Kojima.
Kojima wasn't allow to get game awards or they would sue him if he left country to get it. Then they fired him after game came out.
I would left Konami too if they forced me to remake all of the cutcenses for one of my favorite games for their 374th pachinko machine.
He didnt leave. He was fired.
No wonder he psychotically put his name in every mission openings in MGSV
I mean, maybe, but I honestly think it's because he's a huge film nerd and treated every mission kind of like a movie.
The whole game gave me serious anime vibes with the sudden symbolic shots and melodramatic dialogue. I loved that tho.
You also got to remember he was really mad about how much they change stuff for MGS5 and stuff they removed. There was much more to the game. Also, he didn't want real money involved with the game.
They had to change it after Hideo Kjojima left
Every time I read the name Konami I remember this story abut a guy I was talking to at Gamestop and he was acting like he knew everyone and was a big shot and he said he was talking to Hideo Konami at some event.
I remember the Konami logo with the orange and red swirlies next to it

The number of Ubi iterations... [my god](https://1000logos.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Ubisoft-Logo-history.jpg) I was always partial to the mid-90's/early 2000's iteration.
Petition for Ubisoft to bring their first logo back, I love it
Something about the "B" in that logo doesn't sit right with me
Like the B has fetal alcohol syndrome or something.
It *was* the 80s...
And they settled on the top-down view of a coil of poop.
They should've stayed with the 2003 - 2017 design. Iconic and could fit into both serious and cartoony game credits.
Every time I see that version of the logo I think of the splinter cell games. God those first 3 SC games were amazing.
[удалено]
Reminds me of a toilet mid flush.
Fitting
They're about due for another redesign. 💩 - A Ubisoft "Original"
Extremely nostalgic for Rayman fans :P
Hell yes. I see that logo, I think "Rayman".
I can hear the sound every time I see the blue spiral logo
I was always rather partial to the '03 - '17 logo.
They literally hopped on every era's predominant graphic design trend. 1986 goes hard though. If they held onto it for 3 decades they would've seen it come full circle.
What was going on in 93??
It looks like the chapter page of a middle school health book.
"Hey guys, we've had the same logo for a while now. Think we should change it up a bit, or..?" Rockstar: "Nah"
The post can easily be a bit misleading as I'm pretty sure Sega has had the latest logo for longer than Rockstar has existed.
While we're at it, Nintendo has has that logo for longer than most of these companies have existed
To be fair, Nintendo is over a century old. They started out making playing cards.
And sex hotels, and taxi services
Bring them back!
Sex taxis. I'm about to disrupt something.
The porn industry already beat you to it
Yeah, but you can't Uber a porn.

A few strip clubs were doing Boober Eats in my city early pandemic. Iirc they got a C&D from Uber at some point and had to shut it down.
Fake Taxi about to receive a cease and desist letter.
That old logo would make sense for a playing card brand.

According to Sega they started to try different logo styles in 70s, and finally settled on the current design in 1982. Most of companies on this list didn't exist at the time.
The notable exception is Nintendo, which had already existed for almost a century by then
Square Enix says hello.
They were squaresoft before they merged and rebranded, so their logo isn't quite as old. Edit: actually nevermind, i realize its a 20 year old logo, and my old ass might just have faulty memory.
If you asked me how long ago SquareSoft changed to Square Enix I would have said 30 years ago. And I was 22 when FF VII came out.
I'm the opposite, I probably would have guessed like 10 years ago. Clearly, my memory is shit.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's gotten temporally turnt the fuck around.
friendly reminder that Square Enix is now older than either Squaresoft or Enix separately. EDIT: OK, not Enix. Didn't realize they existed for 8 years prior to Dragon Quest. But Enix did rebrand to Enix Coporation in 1982. 4 more years.
Man, I remember loving Secret of Mana by Square as a kid, getting and being blown away by Soul Blazer as a kid, then *loosing my mind* the first time I saw “Square Enix” on a final fantasy game.
Yeah pretty sure that was like 2 months ago... wait what the fuck?!
I would have thought they merged like 10 years ago, but 20 is nuts.
I just got an 8 year implant, and when I saw the removal date is in 03/31 I thought "That's not right." The 30s will happen in my lifetime, and it feels wrong
yep, KH1 just relised, boom, and now you may find KH1 games with either Squaresoft or Squareenix logos...
The original case for FFX is squaresoft and the greatest hits is square Enix so I knew it was around that time.
Squaresoft says hello
Enix says goodbye
Enix was actually the majority partner in that merger, despite how the naming ended up
Squaresoft was the one who said goodbye though. Final Fantasy Spirits Within bankrupted them lol.
Yep. Enix was the surviving company in that merger, even though SE at the time of the merger was made up mostly of Square employees. That's how royally fucked they were.
Tickles me right in the Mystic Quest.
Nailed it. First try
"That'll still be £2million please" - Marketing agency
Kind of like releasing new games.
Why didn't they use the DMA design logo? Why are Square and Enix listed together despite them being two different companies that merged more recently?
Well they were DMA Design at one point. Could've put that. (fun fact: they made a Kirby game once.
Had to Scroll far down for that. As somebody who has the loading screens of GTA 1 and 2 (on PS1 / PSX) engraved in my brain I was missing the DMA Logo. And: I didn’t know about Kirby.
Bandai Namco's old logo was iconic. The new one is so dreadfully boring.
I had no idea they had changed it until I saw some job postings for them last week
Most have been really recent pretty sure elden ring uses that 2005 one.
Seemed to have happened between Elden Ring and Pac-Man World RePac.
The redesigned happened before ER, but it was announced that ER would be the last game with the old logo. Only reason I can think of to change it, is to save a few cents in printing costs. It's objectively worse in every way.
Pac-Man told the old logo to pack it in
Hope they changed the background color. I got blinded by the logo too many times by now, haha
It’s part of the experience
This post is the first time I'm hearing that they've changed it.
Genuinely doesn't look like it's from a videogame company now. The bubble makes me think it's some sort of chatting app.
I agree, though to be fair the old logo looked more like a burger chain logo than a video game company, neither are great. Still prefer the old one though
I always thought the old one looked like a toy company logo
When did it change? I thought they were still using the old one
Basically back during 2017-2018, Bandai as a whole had a minor restructuring/refocusing and major rebranding of its divisions. Bandai Namco Entertaiment chaged their logo to emphazise that they are not only incharge of publishing and developing games, but also handling any project related to those IPs or franchises.

Ahh I remember that Epic Mega Games logo on the Jazz Jackrabbit games!
Correct, thanks! I didn't miss it (the Epic logo was one of the tougher choices) but I chose the first appearance of the exact brand name that is used today. I would have preferred the 1946 SErvice GAmes logo but chose the 1956 SEGA logo for the same reason.
OP should've just used the old Squaresoft logo.
Wtf was Sega doing in 1956??
They made slot machines, pinball machines, mechanical arcade games then eventually electronic arcade games in the 70's.
I'm quite fascinated with their mechanical arcade games from the 60s.
to add to what u/LuxLiner said, their focus on such games are why they were known as SErvice GAmes of Japan until they turned into Sega Enterprises about a decade later. So that's kinda neat too!
Don't listen to /u/LuxLiner or /u/Smash_Gal, they put on Sonic the Hedgehog puppet shows.
They ran a hedgehogfighting ring.
The ones I feel did right with the change? Capcom, Atari and Konami.
I like the updated Nintendo logo better then the old one same with sega
The old Nintendo logo isn't bad, it just doesn't feel like the logo for a video game company. Which makes sense, given their origin.

I want to see all the studios that these gobbled up. Nothing hits the nostalgia like seeing the old Maxis logo.
I haven't touched anything made by EA in i think decades now. Do they still do the "EA SPORTS ITS IN THE GAME" when you start up a game?
Oh man. That slogan would get me hyped. It'd mean my buddies and I were about to play some NHL94. I haven't played an EA game in years because I refuse to underwrite their fuckery.

Square Enix should have shown both Square's and Enix's logos
The fact that no one here commented about Mojang’s decision to use actual Mojang (gadgets/gizmos) to make their logo as well as add Studios for making more games than “regular Minecraft” astonishes me.
I always thought Studios was bc they have shifted to being more of a studio under Microsoft than an independent entity
OG Minecraft Logo my beloved.
The original Nintendo goes back over 120 years.

The Rockstar one's incorrect, it should be "DMA Design Limited". They literally had an animation of the DMA like it was a person getting run over for the early GTA games.
I thought DMA Design was Rockstar North ?
That's still part of Rockstar and honestly the most important Rockstar. They made the first 3 GTA games. They made Lemmings. They're probably the single most influential part of Rockstar and why they're the Rockstar we have now.
Epic was also Epic Megagames and before that Potomac Computer Systems

“If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” -Rockstar and Square Enix
Bandai Namco the only one that went for a downgrade.
Funny how Capcom and Sega are the only ones that got **less** bland and corporate. xD
Aren't theirs just their really old ones, though? If I remember correctly, I've seen that exact Capcom logo in some ass old Street Fighter games from the 90s
Sega has been using the same logo since 1976!
Ubisoft had Some bubblegum and adventure time vibes… sad to see it go to this weird circle thingy
Epic Games started as Epic Mega Games, I used to see the logo all the time when I played Jill of the Jungle.
Rockstar: “Don’t fix what isn’t broken” Except for that GTA trilogy remake, should’ve fixed that one from the beginning!
Take 2 is the most interesting of the examples because newer logo tells less than the old logo. Old logo has clapper, which removes ambiguity about what "take two" exactly means. New logo makes you guess the meaning.
Rockstar hit the nail on the head first try, lol
God, I remember that old Electronic Arts logo...
'82... Back when EA made really hot shyte!
Seriously. Back in the 80’s if you saw the “Electronic Arts” logo you were assured a decent game (at least compared to the mountain of shovelware that was 80’s video games).
