(First topic)[edit]

I suspect that this logo is fanmade. The quality just seems too high when considering how far the actual game dates back.

Does anyone know the original source?

Dunno what source, but it does seem too high qual, and look at the logo in Wikipedia for comparison. Iggy Koopa Jr (talk) 08:14, 13 October 2013 (EDT)
May you link me to the logo on Wikipedia?

OK, here:

It's in French, but tht shouldn't matter much.

That logo is lower quality, but appears to be more official, as it comes directly from the official website (archive). Awesome, I'll re-upload it over this one soon. Another point which may suggest that the high quality logo is unofficial is the fact that there is no trademark on it.

Inaccurate colors[edit]

To resurrect a dead horse, this is pretty inaccurate color wise; on the box art of all three versions of the game, the greens and blues are much softer

On here, they're very harsh, the green especially. NOA didn't provide a logo in any of the available press kits for 2003 but there's probably some way to get a more accurate version. Have our editorial standards on fan made art like this changed since 2014?--Mistermudkip (talk) 18:35, January 22, 2026 (UTC)

There is an official logo from one of their press sites, though it does have an added shadow. I'll upload it since the current version on the wiki does seem to be fan made. Kong (talk) 19:58, January 22, 2026 (UTC)
