NINTENDO CONNECTION WIFI LOGO REVEALED

During Iwata's keynote speech at the Tokyo Game Show, the Nintendo Connection WiFi logo has been revealed.


During Iwata's keynote speech at the Tokyo Game Show yesterday, several slides were used showing boxarts of Nintendo DS games going online. The boxes showed a yet unknown logo, used to show the gamer that the game is indeed WiFi-enabled. The logo itself is shown below.



Although a bit simplistic, the logo does what it do, especially since the logo is intended to be placed on a part of the box that's not very often used yet: the bottom left corner of the front cover. But of course you want to see that for yourself...

Animal Crossing DS | Mario Kart DS

The hell? That's awful. Looks like a quick 1 min MSPaint job with a cheap font... Oh well it's just a logo

Suppose it works, and it stands out a bit. So thats all good.

Here's a better idea, where the black line is that seperates the "Nintendo DS" logo and the actual box, that should be a blue colour. And the words "online" or "wi-fi" should be written across it upwards horizontally.
The 3D blue globe logo was way better.

This is kiddie. :/
It gets the point across at least.

The way I see it, logo doesn't really matter, it's the end product that matters.

It could be the Japanese logo only. As NOA has been using that other one in their teasers.

I like the Mario Kart box art. It reminds me of the Gran Turisimo 4 box.
I really dont like this. I wanted more of an XBOX live over the top style.
