Ten Most Creative Video Game Logos

Video games as art may be a debatable subject, but even game logos themselves can be expressed artistically. GammaLounge highlights ten of the most creative looking video game logos and they're not all about Final Fantasy! Can you think of any better ones?

The N from the N64 logo was pretty sweet. In terms of game logos... None spring to mind, other than these.

Ddouble5034d ago

You have to give it to the FF logo's. I actually look forward to the logo every time they release a new game.

GammaTru5034d ago

Yeah, me too. The Final Fantasy logos are just art in themselves, to be honest. The logo for FFXIII was probably the most interesting to me due to the nature of the story and what it represents.

I always find them to be really creative and colourful, I hope they continue to use the same style for as long as they keep pumping out new Final Fantasy titles!

The Matrix5034d ago

Bully had a crazy one that I didn't quite understand. http://www.8daysageek.com/w...

Tekken logo comes to mind. Classic, and is used in every iteration.

CrescentFang5034d ago

... Most of them are Japanese games :) I was expecting BlazBlue, it really is a complex logo
Actually, any JRPG comes to mind, few examples are Gust, NIS, Banpresto, Monolithsoft, Atlus, Falcom... I can't remember anymore companies lol
Anyways, Japanese developers have a different view of the games they make than other countries. Their view on the art is quite noticeable. They sometimes even have famous or popular mangaka to work on their game or hell they have their own artist JUST for them! It truly is amazing...
... I'm sorry I don't have any fantastic comment about western games, since I mostly play Japanese games. It's not that I hate those kind of games, I just don't know much about them...

GammaTru5034d ago

There is a good mix of western and Japanese stuff in there I think, but to be honest I wasn't actually thinking of western and Japanese art styles when I was looking at logos! You're probably right though, Japanese art seems to be more detailed and colourful, especially with RPG's obviously.

Western game logos seem to be more thoughtful or conservative in my opinion, but both are pretty good at style and metaphor.

I agree, I like SH3 the most though.

Cacabunga289d ago

Auto Modellista will always be one of my favorite racers of all time..

gold_drake291d ago

id throw haunting ground into the mix. it still looks fantastic.

but i still dont quite understand why we never got a dragon quest 8 remaster for ps4. even the damn 3ds got one.

OtterX289d ago

I'd add Rogue Galaxy, Shadow of the Colossus.

Scissorman289d ago

Silent Hill 3 was straight up sorcery. It has better hair animation than most modern games, which is wild to me.

Venoxn4g288d ago

I would throw in MGS3 as well

10 Underrated Wii Games You Should Play

The motion-controlled maverick of a console that had everyone from age 9 to 99 swing a TV remote to bowl and painstakingly recreating themselves as Miis, had its share of hits, but even so, some titles didn’t quite get their due.

If you beat la mulana without guides you're either crazy or really smart

YoungKingDoran295d ago

Love this game (played on Vita) and i think i got pretty far, but never finished because i refused to look up a guide 😎

Friendlygamer295d ago

Same with me, played for like 50 hours, found a puzzle I just couldn't crack and decided to let it go. Great game

Venoxn4g294d ago

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow579d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga578d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183578d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB578d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic578d ago (Edited 578d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo578d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic577d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.
