They kept the shape of the R logo the same, they just changed the colors and stuff surrounding it... and yeah, it doesn't look great. At least that R is the same shape though, so it's not all bad. :)
They sort of did change their logo a few years ago really... they don't use the red logo much at all anymore, it's white now for the Wii. But that is pretty much the only change to their logo since they got into the industry. It's a great logo, it doesn't need change... :)
Another company that has been using the same logo since the beginning is ActiVision... if you go back and look at their Atari 2600 games, their logo there is the exact same from what they have now. That's not true for almost anyone else... Activision, the only survivor of the "Vision" gaming companies/platforms of the early '80 such as the Intellivision and the Colecovision, etc. :)
Quote:The funny thing is, to this day Nintendo has NEVER changed their logo. It's the same thing it's always been, the word Nintendo in a round outline. The most variation it gets is sometimes it's some color other than red.
