I never noticed C or G. Just saw a funny box
I remember taking a design class in the 1990s right after GC came out, and the professor basically said "this will be used as a demo in intro design classes for the next century." I thought it was hyperbole, but people still talk about it.
But the GameCube was released 2001
I think the logo was teased at least a couple of years earlier, iirc.
Oh yes I am dumb, of course there was information about a console before release...
And don’t forget the ridiculously good sound design and animation to build it in. Happily burnt into the depths of my brain.
Dinka-dinka-dinhuh-dinkaah-dinka-dinka-dinkadinkadinkadadedink.
Womp.
I can hear this logo
Plus it makes Frank Zappa sounds
Lol, half the comments on your link talk about how Vai sounds Zappa-esque.
Vai worked for Zappa, didn't he?
I remember reading that he was hired to transcribe Zappa's live solos
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
I thought it was Steve Vai sounds.
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Meanwhile logos nowadays are just random shapes and colors.
I mean, staying with Nintendo and looking at DS and switch logos - they are pretty & on point.
I was thinking more about other companies.
Also, if you played the GameCube at all, you hear that cube walking across the screen every... single... TIME!
one does not simply turn on a gamecube without holding Z
We clearly have a different definition of “brilliant”. LMFAO
Don't worry, with a lot of hard work you'll be able to catch up. Good luck.
With comments like that, this guy probably works for Nasa.
