"This work of art, created by a corporate graphic designer for a video game system, is a work of art, created by a corporate graphic designer for a video game system."
Fascinating.
I love when people attempt to gatekeep what constitutes art.
Quote me where I say it's not art, please.
I mean, it's not disqualified from being art just because the artist got paid by a corporation. Historically most great artists were paid by monarchs, religious leaders, nobility, or wealthy merchants, who were all the power brokers of their time.
But yeah the fact that this is a product branding logo has weird "hail corporate" vibes.

That and the fact that the observation itself is somewhat facile.
I'm honestly not sure what you expected by clicking on this kind of post or what point you're making. Of course it's facile.
You doing okay today?
There are some outliers on here today that are especially special.
I'm honestly not sure what you expected by responding to this kind of comment or what point you're making. I'd also ask you if you were doing okay if I felt like being condescending, but I'm not in the mood for it.
Why are you even here?
Well my initial goal was pointing out how stupid OP's post was but now that you've decided to engage with me I'd say it's because of your positively magnetic personality and my near pathological need to bicker with people on the internet.
How is the post stupid? Yeah, you correctly identified that it's a corporate logo/art work. It's still interesting and clever the design that's gone into it.
Well, for one, its relationship to "Gaming" is tenuous, at best. Two, it's wholly superficial. There's nothing even remotely conversation worthy here. "Look at this neat design." Okay, and? What is the expected or desired response to that?

I agree it would potentially be better in a mildly interesting or a graphics design based community. But it is related to gaming, even if tenuously.

And yet multiple people have managed to make responses. Discussing the design in relation to other Nintendo designs etc.
Just because you couldn't think of something to add to the conversation doesn't mean others couldn't.

Yes, and their responses are either equally vapid or are things like "Wait until they hear about the FedEx logo." My initial response was critical of the underlying nature of the post, and I would argue that this conversation we are having right now, is substantially better than any conversation being had about the logo itself. So I guess I did have something to add to the conversation, otherwise (wait for it) you wouldn't have bothered responding to me. Would you?
The logo design for a gaming consoles
relationship to “Gaming” is tenuous, at best.
I'm actually curious. In what world do you think a major game console has a tenuous relationship to gaming?
You mean the console or the shape of its logo? Because those are different things. This is a discussion purely centered around graphic design for a gaming system's logo. The graphic could be literally anything else and it wouldn't change the console or its games. It's like having a community dedicated to books and discussing those books and someone posting a picture of bookends, saying "look at these cool book bookends." If someone said "that doesn't have much to do with books" they would be (generally) right. It's probably off topic for the intended subject matter of the community, in addition to being not very interesting. You might think that the logos for consoles is perfectly valid as a topic of discussion. In which case, great. Happy for you. I don't agree and I elected to state that opinion.
Do it somewhere else.
Casual reminder that you replied to me.
Yes I'm fully aware of how forums work. Now go away, no one wants you here.
Nah.
