There’s a lot to love about Bandai Namco in terms of the games it releases, but one thing that hasn’t gone down so well is the company’s logo refreshoriginally revealed last October and scheduled to come into effect in April this year.

While the Japanese publisher responsible for series like PAC-MAN, Tekken and Tales is still going ahead with this makeover, it has now made one slight adjustment. As detailed in its latest mid-term plan (Abril 2022 – Marzo 2025), the speech bubble outline has been changed from magenta to red.

Magenta was originally used as the motif colour to represent diversity, create a bright and fun impression, and because it’s easy to reproduce. Sin embargo, Bandai changed its mind after sending out a questionnaire to employeesasking for their own thoughts.

The new red colour apparently creates an impression that is enthusiastic, divertido, active and bold:

“Para el color del motivo, enviamos cuestionarios a empleados de todo el mundo para recoger sus opiniones sobre palabras que expresan imágenes asociadas a los objetivos del Grupo.

“From among the words that were frequently mentioned, seleccionamos colores candidatos a través de métodos científicos que vinculan palabras con colores. De entre estos candidatos, seleccionamos un color rojo brillante que crea una impresión entusiasta, divertido, activo, y audaz.”

Así, what do you think of the new logo’s latest look? Si bien este puede no ser otro FighterZ Pass u otro anuncio de DLC de personaje en solitario.
