Really? other than the SMT and maybe the sony/guerrilla/santa monica thing... which others arent iconic?[/QUOTE]

KH, Smilebit, Umbrella logo, Shin-Ra... would also argue that the Battlefield logo is too generic to be recognizable at all.

right but when i think of the word most i think of there being an upset of uniconic ones but its the other way around.

I really don't think you people understand what an iconic image is:


Not being able to find the image on the internet is a good sign that what you are looking for isn't iconic.
If you don't know what the Umbrella logo is then I have no idea why you are on a gaming forum.

There's like 20 games and 7 movies with this logo (slight exaggeration...maybe).

Jesus Gaf you guys have no perception of how iconic a lot of these aren't. Cave's logo? Umbrella Corp? Really?

Anything other than Pacman (even the logo) would have to be something pretty big.

Sorry, I have always found that series to be lacking, so I don't play. I also don't play zelda games but can immediately recognize a triforce. That is why one is iconic and the other is background fodder in a B rate gaming franchise. ;)
 
So if people are complaining about what type of icons are iconic or not, well you should update the OP with YOUR DEFINITION of ICONIC, because for me the logo from umbrella corp is iconic as the shinra is, but hey who gives a damn right.

You are definitely entitled to your own opinion about the RE games, but they are far from B rated. RE4 won numerous game of the year awards when it came out and set a lot of industry standards for over the shoulder shooting mechanics. That game was definitely AAA quality.

There should be like four or five answers to this. This is just a thread of logos at this point. Game Boy Color? Really?

You can count on one hand the gaming logos known in mainstream popular culture and recognized by ham-and-eggers, sure, but for hardcore gamerz such as ourselves, many of these qualify as near-religious imagery

lol I see. You're being a hater. It's ok, I understand.

And true it's not as iconic as Mickey Mouse's head silhouette, but I do believe the title of the thread is "Iconic gaming logos". The Triforce is cool too, but we both know that you knew what that Umbrella logo was. You were just trying to express your disgust for the series by saying the logo ain't shit.

Don't worry man, we all hate on stuff sometimes.
 
So by the definition of some user here, ICONIC only applies to games logo who the mainstream people know and that will transcend generations, am i right?

So fuck lets only put games that are old like:

And while we at it lets puts this one out:

angryBirds.jpg

FarmVille_logo.jpg

These ones will transcend generation!

So lets delete almost 90% of all the post in this thread and only put games that are at least 20 years old, because by that definition not even Half-Life should had been posted.
