Nintendo ditches red logo

Kotaku reports that a press release from the German-based Nintendo Europe reads: “For several years, a new generation of Wii and Nintendo DS games have adorned themselves with a new logo, in discrete grey.

“In various publications the former logo, with red lettering, can still be seen. In the event that you have not already done so, we would like to sincerely ask you to now only use the current, grey Nintendo logo.”

CasualGaming has contacted Nintendo UK for confirmation.

UPDATE: Nintendo UK has confirmed to CasualGaming that the story is indeed true. In fact, the official logo change occured quite some time ago. Around two years ago, in fact. So there you go.

A spokesperson told us: "At the moment we tend to use the grey racetrack logo but it can and often currently is represented in a number of different colours. You'll often see it in black / white / silver or grey."
