Over 1/3 of 3D Nintendo 64 Logos are WRONG When Spinning

In this Video I look at various Nintendo 64 logo models that are incorrect.
Q:
The official logo is wrong according to this video
A:
The logo in the thumbnail and the logo at 2:13 is the official N64 logo but turned 90°. (at 2:13 You can even see The official logo with The ones that are rotated) The official logo you see on your console and the official n64 logo art are right. The official logo artwork has green N on the left and blue N on the right. From this angle 2 red faces can be seen(1 on top and 1 on bottom). From the official logo 1 green face can be seen on the top portion and 0 blue are seen on the bottom. This is where misconception of the logo having all red faces comes from. When we rotate the logo 90° so that Blue is on the left and green is on the right this is where the confusion comes from. Since Nintendo didn't have any pictures from this angle. When modelers were tasked with making a 3D Nintendo 64 logo some made it wrong. The bottom of the logo is supposed to have 2 red sides and 2 blue sides. This is because the top has 2 red sides and 2 green sides. Using 2 red and 2 blue was used so there wouldn't be too much green. The reason that it looks off is because at that angle it shows only 1 face of red instead of the 2 that we are used to seeing from the official logo.
Q:
If Nintendo Never released the logo from that angle how do you know that using blue is right.
A:
The official Nintendo 64 DD start up screen used Blue. Every Game that features Nintendo characters also used blue too. These games are Majora's Mask, Ocarina of time, Diddy Kong Racing and Donkey Kong 64 . Banjo-Tooie fixed the mistake of Banjo Kazooie and made the logo blue instead of red. Also out of the 25 Games that use an Nintendo 64 model 15 use the right blue model and the other 10 use the wrong logos talked about in this video.
N64 logo stats
Mistake Percentages
30% by using all red on bottom
50% by using 2 Green on the bottom
10 by uses 3 red faces on top and bottom instead of 2
10% by uses 2 extra red faces on the inside N portion
The games with the incorrect logos are
Aidyn chronicles (use all red faces on bottom)
Banjo-Kazooie (uses all red faces on bottom)
Clay Fighter 63 1/3 (uses all red faces on bottom)
Conkers Bad fur Day (uses 2 green faces on bottom)
EarthWorm Jim 3d (uses 2 green faces on bottom)
Lego Racer's (uses 3 red faces on top and bottom instead of 2)
Powerpuff Girls Girls Chemical X-Traction (uses 2 green faces on bottom)
Tetrisphere (uses 2 green faces on bottom)
Tom and Jerry (uses 2 green faces on bottom)
Top Gear Rally 2 (uses 2 extra red faces on the inside N portion)
Nintendo'd own guideline for using the N64 logo
===
Proper Use of the N64 Logo
The following rules should be followed when using the N64 Logo.
____ For broadcast and game video, it is acceptable to use a black background behind the logo, with the "Nintendo 64" text appearing in white.
____ Logo colors should match as closely as possible the colors of the logo as it appears in static/printed form. Following are the RGB colors for the N64 logo:
Red: R196, G0, B38
Blue: R56, G56, B127
Yellow: R242, G171, B0
Green: R63, G162, B68
____ When spinning, the logo should rotate to the left (counterclockwise when viewed from the top) at about 16 RPM (one revolution per 2 seconds.)
____ The camera viewing angle must represent the "N" cube exactly as it appears in printed form. The sides of the logo should be parallel and the logo must not appear warped, such as with a "fish eye" lens.
____ Other camera movements, flybys, etc. can be used as long as the correct angle and orientation of the logo is used to establish the identity at some point in the sequence.
____ It is critical that the proportions of the "N" cube accurately reflect those of the printed version of the logo. The size relationship of the "N" cube to the "Nintendo 64" text should be maintained.
____ The "Nintendo 64" text should be placed above the "N" cube logo and the correct font must be used. (An Alias file of the logo is available from Nintendo Licensing Support.
Note: For additional information regarding the proper use of the N64 logo, please review the "N64 Logo and Application Rules" sheets included in your Software Development Kit.

Surfaces in + / - x direction = green Surfaces in + / - z direction = blue Surfaces in + / - y direction = yellow Diagonal surfaces facing blue surfaces: top = red, bottom = blue Diagonal surfaces facing green surfaces: top = green, bottom = red

[@JealousBishop]

Not true. In the official logo, the left N is green. The right "stick" connecting the left N with the right has a green and blue surface. That makes the surface parallel to the blue surface also blue, and the diagonal of the left N is red facing blue. Your proof is wrong.

[@JealousBishop]

I think the diagonals actually go like: Two top diagonals opposite to each other are red, other pair opposite to each other are green Bottom diagonals are blue if the top is red and red if the tops are green, so the red on the top and red on the bottom are offset by one face.

[@silverdededestruction2197]

the fact that there is a visible difference between the actual logo and the attempts of recreating the logo on your thumbnail is worthy of praise on its own.

[@sheik124]

But there isn't. Look at your N64. The N on the left is green with a blue bottom, the one on the right is blue with a red bottom. It's a 3D N, and the thumbnail has the entire thing spun around (clockwise or counter, doesn't matter) - the blue N is on the left, the green on the right. That's where the error is. When he's freeze-framing the logo and "fixing" it, it's not being viewed from the same angle as the one on your console. So most of them look correct, until they begin to rotate, then part of them isn't correct.

As a graphic designer/brand fenatic I can 100% say that this logo doesn't have a style guideline document. It being modeled incorrectly in so many games makes it a huge problem... it's pretty common practice to set out colour swatches and ideal usage of the logo when it's made. It's so strange to me that such a big company like nentendo could have this problem :0 more so because of the big investments games are. Even small inconsistency errors like this can have a huge impact on the way people perceive the brand, very cool that you noticed them though :) I'm impressed with your knowledge around this logo!!

Yup, I was obsessed with drawing this logo as a child, in a way that other kids drew those stylized 'S' symbols. it was always easy to remember the N's alternated blue/green with the opposite color shading all remaining sides besides a single red face. To remember where the red colors went as a child, I remembered RGB for red green blue in the standard order and I pictured the letters stacked vertically. Blue was the last letter/on the bottom of the RGB so this means red is on the LOWER (underside/bottom) diagonal face of N's with a Blue face. Green appears before blue/is on top of blue, so red appears on the UPPER (on top) diagonal face on N's with a green face. From there I always remembered...Blue N = red colored lower slope and Green N = red colored upper slope.

*_One of the best designed logos of all time._* The N64 logo has specific planes that must always be the same color. The top/bottom face is always yellow. The two outer faces must be green or blue, with no two colors next to each other. The slanted sections alternate red-green-red-green on the top, and blue-red-blue-red on the bottom offset 50% in order to maintain the edge rule. It has 64 sides and verteces total. *_It's a beautiful logo designed to be viewed in motion/3D._*

[@Zaxtur]

Basically the underside of the blue N's should be red (and most get this correct), and the underside of the green N's should be blue (which is the most common screwup). Some undersides are supposed to be red, but not all of them. Only the blue N's.

Or am I missing something?

They probably just took the logo model from a first party game like Ocarina of Time and assumed that one was right by definition.

The official Nintendo 64 DD start up screen used Blue. Every Game that features Nintendo characters also used blue too. These games are Majora's Mask, Ocarina of time, Diddy Kong Racing and Donkey Kong 64 . Banjo-Tooie fixed the mistake of Banjo Kazooie and made the logo blue instead of red.

You're right, it is quite a bad video, but he has a point nonetheless: The logo consists of four N's. Two have green faces. The other two has blue faces. The ones with green faces is red on top and blue on bottom, while the ones with blue faces is red on bottom and green on top. Therefore, it should alternate between red and blue on the bottom and red and green on the top.

@@benjaminpedersen9548 It's a bad video because it's OCD and the red underneath looks a lot better and less confusing to most people.

@@zxbryc Oh my god, you're right. Ocarina's logo is completely wrong. When green is on the left, it doesn't match the 2D logo. My life is a lie.

[@aislingoda6026]

@@zxbryc I just looked into it, and it was wrong for version 1.0. They updated it for versions 1.1 onwards, and it matches what is official, on the box, and also what's in the video. Snoop when he looked at it probably was using one of the updated Ocarina of Time cartridges.

[@aislingoda6026]

His sources are in the description, it matches what Nintendo uses for their own IP and for the 64DD expansion released in Japan.

[@new_donker7189]

Thanks. Now I'm enlighted with useful knowledge.

[@Bootleg_Jones]

I'd love to see a video with a detailed breakdown of the color scheme used for the whole logo. It was kind of hard to follow in this video, and I noticed that the "exploded" version of the logo had at least one "cube" (rectangular prism?) with 2 green faces and at least one "cube" with 2 blue faces.

[@aislingoda6026]

[@azertyetbenito7662]

Did I just watch 8 minutes of nintendo 64 logos

[@Zyn_Shi]

Yes

[@lukewarmed]

wait. the one in your profile picture is wrong too edit: it's actually right, my bad ty all for the likes though

[@FireSonicYT]

how is it wrong?

[@lukewarmed]

FireSonicYT i thought that it was wrong because of the red part underneath, but it's actually right thanks for helping me realize my mistake actually, guess that goes to show how confusing the logo's color scheme really is

[@Snooplax]

Yes haha

[@amazingbulbasaur4959]

Great video.

[@Shadylndividual]

How can you possibly know what the colors of the unseen faces are on the 2D image?

[@byrdieee3459]

I love that donkey kong music

[@thechugg4372]

The only question is, where do you get that knowledge of the logo that even google doesn't have? Did you go to nintendo and ask them for the actual logo?

[@Snooplax]

The official Nintendo 64 DD start up screen used Blue. Every Game that features Nintendo characters also used blue too. These games are Majora's Mask, Ocarina of time, Diddy Kong Racing and Donkey Kong 64 . Banjo-Tooie fixed the mistake of Banjo Kazooie and made the logo blue instead of red. Also out of the 25 Games that use an Nintendo 64 model 15 use the right blue model and the other 10 use the wrong logos talked about in this video.

[@Yohoat]

@@Snooplax I feel like this info should've been in the video, it's what the entire thing hinges on, but there's no explanation.

[@AwkCrafty]

Neat video!

[@KylerFlame]

This is mindblowing actually given how much I love the logo! What about the Nathaniel Bandy Logo?

[@Snooplax]

I just looked at the NB logo and it looks right haha

[@Nakia11798]

Can we all just agree the N64 logo has TOO MUCH GREEN.

[@MK00040]

It has the same amount of blue

[@masieluh]

how did i not notice

[@SwedishRetroTechNerd]

Intresting video chocking to know that so many logos are wrong

[@CatsMeow_]

This is literally someone ranting about the color of the N64 logo.

[@cyberen]

Wow, I really hope someone got fired for that blunder.

[@Neovixen]

i see you own a copy of mumkey kong 64

[@reperfan4]

As inconsistent as it seems to be, I gotta wonder...was there ever an actually "correct" one to begin with? How do we know the one you're using as a base to determine if the rest are "correct" or not is actually the "correct" one itself or if IT was actually incorrect as well?

[@shikoruyasu]

reperfan4 I feel like the one used most often would be the correct one.

That really was twisting my brain a bit as I tried to see it and spot the differences lol Never once noticed this!

[@ChickenCharm]

I don't know why anyone would need this information, but thank you.

[@DTGee64]

Why not just show the parts of the intros that contain the logos?

[@camiscrazy0883]

Nostalgia

[@DarkWolf-fg9dr]

I'm just exploding in nostalgic feelings of games that I never played before... Meanwhile my nostalgic feelings for the N64 logo is been all a lie!

[@pizzatime872]

At this rate I don't even know if I breathing correctly *and does reality even exist too*

congratulations, now ur having an existential crisis
