BadSeed84 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Why does it look like a speech bubble tho. I didn't care for the previous one either, and simple fits them better imo, but I wish they used the classic fonts for Bandai & Namco, and pink & black is an odd chice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumpygremlin Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Did T-Mobile buy Bandai Namco? That's the vibe I get from this logo with the pink and black, as well as the speech bubble, which to me indicates communications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I mean, it's better than the MasterCard-esque blob they had before. Still not good, though. 1 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadSeed84 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I will say, at least they wised a little up and went back to using red for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwing64 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 They have in fact changed it to red instead of pink, after polling their employees. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/bandai-namco-has-changed-its-logo-again/ As for the speech bubble; Quote The thought process behind the new logo was explained again during the mid-term plan report, and much of it repeats what was said in October when the magenta logo was revealed. “The logo’s design incorporates ‘Bandai Namco’ into a motif that brings to mind a speech bubble, called ‘fukidashi’ in Japanese,” the publisher said. “Through this design, the logo expresses the potential of the brand to connect with people around the world through dreams, fun and inspiration and inspire them with amazing ideas. “The speech bubble also represents Japan’s manga culture, which has become popular around the world. In this way, the logo stands for our determination to communicate and connect with fans worldwide as we strive to create entertainment unique to Bandai Namco.” The new logo has been stuck on the boxes of some model kits that were launched with the Nu Gundam statue in Fukuoka. Don't know if this is because of them being a 'special' release (they're exclusive to that venue) or if this is something they'll be doing with all new kits. Also for those not in the know; the blue Bandai logo on the box is that of Bandai Spirits, which was formed in 2018 after a corporate reshuffling. All of their model kits released since, including reprints of older kits, have this blue logo instead of the red one.
