Summary

Description

English: Nintendo logo, SVG format. In 2016, Nintendo phased out their grey variant as the company's main logo and re-introduced their red color, when Tatsumi Kimishima took the company helm, Nintendo's logo was changed to white-on-red. The grey logo, however, continues to be officially used as its corporate image.
