A Simple Question

I'd say the exact opposite.

 

This one is indeed a rather good logo. It's both basic and professional.

 

Blue was first, but it didn't have any other-colored trim on it; just flat out blue. It was on the Japanese boxart of Sonic 1, I believe. (or was it white? I could be mistaken).

Yellow with blue trim just stands out more and looks more attractive to me, and besides it's what was used when Sonic became well known.

 

:v:

 

Sonic 1 and CD (Pal)

 

I always liked the blue and gold gradient-y logo that appeared on the Sonic 1 and 2 title screens. None of this flat, single-colored nonsense.

 

This.

 

Same here. There is something really epic about it!

Thats what I thought too. That one is also my favourite by far.

 

The yellow text first appeared in Sonic 3, at least for us Americans. The first logo was actually red.


In the UK, it was blue.


And for Japan, it was plain white text.

 

Hm, Yellow with blue outline reminds me of Sonic 3 to R-era Sonic, while Blue with Yellow outline reminds me of Sonic 1 to 2-era Sonic. I'd say the Yellow with Blue outline is more appealing looking.

Of course, Sonic and Knuckles logo is the bst of them all, but that only represents one game.

 

They ended up using another font altogether... none of the typography matches. The logo in the American boxart is using some standard font you find in any word processing or design program, the logo for the rest of the boxart and thereafter was designed specifically for the Sonic series.

You don't need to have taken any typography courses to see that (which I have :v: ) /brag

 

Good thing I'm British, our cover was definitely the best out of the three Sonic The Hedgehog's.

 

My favorite logo is definitely the orange and blue one, it looks better IMO. That doesn't mean I don't like the other ones too.

 

I prefer the SA2 logo. It's one of the more serious games and the logo matches the general feeling flow of the game play (It's my favorite 3d Sonic game, so naturally I prefer the logo also). Sonic Adventure DX on the other hand I thought was horrible to match with the game. The should have kept the Sonic Adventure Logo.

 

Not only that, but the european cover also sports the same Sonic artwork, as well as stylized drawings of Eggman and Sonic's friends (which I think appear somewhere in the japanese manual?), while USA gets... that piece of shit.

Come 1992 and Europe is treated to the same horrible western art as in the US cover. Sigh.

 

Personally I like both the orange/blue and the blue/yellow. Not too fond of most of the recent ones, though.

 

While most of the logos posted on this thread look very, very good, I generally prefer yellow text with a blue stroke for Sonic logos. However, my favorite one posted is definitely the S&K logo.
