    It's...gray? That's it? Doesn't sound too drastic to me.

    Can't say I'm impressed with the new color, lacks the punch it had before.

    Not a fan of the gray, but whatever.  It's not as drastic as it sounds or looks.

    In that case, almost everybody here is a Nintendo fanboy.  Hold on... do I have a lizard tongue?

    Does it really matter?....in all honesty Red or Grey doesn't bother me. Its the quality of games they should be focusing their time on, not logo changes like that.

    The 'gray' version has actually been the Nintendo logo for 2 years - there was no 'announcement' the other day. Kotaku clears it up.

    Worst thing is, I daresay more effort went into restyling the logo by consulting different consumer groups, departments and whatnot than went into the new Animal Crossing.

    Exactly.

    So what does this mean for GB name colors? Gray is already neutral, however light blue is the color used for most Wii adverts. Nintendo could be blue and Sony could be red now.

    The logo was the company name in red ink, how did that have any punch to begin with?
