Bandai Namco Unveils New Corporate Logo

If you’re a Bandai Namco fan, it’s time to start saying your goodbyes to the red, orange, and yellow logo that has graced titles such as Scarlet Nexus, Tales of Arise, Little Nightmares II, and countless other hits. New corporate logo has been unveiled by Bandai Namco, along with a mission statement: Fun For All Into The Future.

The logo is more minimalist in style. The company’s name is penned in a simple black font situated within a thick magenta border shaped like a speech bubble.  According to a press release announcing the change, the speech bubble specifically signifies the brand’s potential to connect with its audience while also tipping a cap to manga culture. Bandai Namco stated that the original logo was a fusion between Namco and Bandai, but the new logo better matches their purpose. 

This purpose is the Fun for All into the Future mission. That statement is what does it mean? The publisher explains that it embodies its goal “to share dreams, fun and inspiration with people around the world. Connecting people and societies in the enjoyment of uniquely entertaining products and services, we’re working to create a brighter future for everyone.” 

You still have a few more months to enjoy the soon-to-be defunct logo. Bandai Namco states the new logo won’t go into effect until April 2022.
