Super Mario 25th Anniversary


This year marks the 25 Anniversary of the Super Mario franchise. Mario is by far the most recognized video games character ever. Nintendo is of course celebrating this by selling various themed items. But they've also made a special logo which is what my blog is about. The logo has the 8bit version of Mario top center, 25th Anniversary in the Center, and Super Mario Bros. bottom center. And it's closed of with the leaves on the sides. It's a very simple design but the message is clear. I think even without it saying Super Mario Bros. you could still tell what the images was about. But Nintendo clearly thought this through and made it so that people who aren't familiar with the Mario Bros. franchise could understand what it's about. I like it cause it's nostalgic. It's a modern logo with a reference to the older games. And now I want to play some Super Mario Bros. Obviously it's working.
