One comment on why the left JoyCon felt so weird as well:
Due to the design making it so it's hollow with an outline rather than be a single flat shape, it ends up feeling "slimmer" as the viewer only tries to interpret the negative space (+ maybe half of the outline's width) as the actual shape. In actual Switch logo, to avoid that, left JoyCon is made to be thicker than the right JoyCon - by about the width of the outline.
Neat idea, but slightly confusing how a "2" was in the logo there. Obviously the "successor to the Switch" will be named Switch U, or if we're very lucky girls and boys this year, Virtual Switch.
Great video, Daniel! The final product looks amazing.
As someone who has NEVER used Illustrator (and never will since Adobe), I'm so glad Photoshop and most of the clones have a vector tool, namely the Pen Tool. It's SUCH a useful tool to have, and more people need to learn to use it. I remember in my high school media class, I was one of about 3 people who actually understood it, which was pretty surprising. It's not the right tool for every application, but more often than not you'll be using it for at least one thing in a project.
I'm crossing all of my fingers that we get Switch 2 themes. Let us get that new Tears of the Kingdom art!
Edit: Also, I'm JUST saying.... I wouldn't mind seeing that Switch 2 animation being used as an opener for future Switch 2 discussions!!
This was fun!
I imagined the logo being the two magnetic joycons squishing a long flat rectangle, and when the joycons squish the rectangle, it pops up into the number 2.
the end result is so satisfying to watch
I would absolutely love if you redid the Switch's UI or make a mockup UI for the Switch 2.
One of the more hidden critiques I've seen for the Switch is how it doesn't have the same "charm and personality" as the Wii U and 3DS did. The minimalistic approach we got definitely works and people are free to prefer it, but I think a lot of people wished there was more going on in terms of visuals and features (menu music too!).
I know how a game console UI looks is superfluous in the grand scheme of things and that other features are more substantial to the gameplay experience like backwards compatibility, but what I loved about the Wii U and 3DS was how Nintendo went out of their way to make navigating the system feel memorable and fun, making it to where it wasn't just a screen that let you select your games. I think it'd be a fun challenge to see if you can design a middle-ground between the two.
Hope to see you do a video like this again, Daniel!
As a graphic design student and long time fan of the channel, this video was perfect for me!! I actually learned a thing or two as well so thanks!! I could never get vector vs raster straight but your description finally helped me learn the difference lol
Really impressive stuff. Being able to have the vision in your head and spend two and a half hours executing it, is something that's beyond me. Even if I had the technical know-how, I'd give up after half an hour from the self-doubt. But it all comes together in the end!
Great video guys!! I'd love to see more of this, the world of designing is so interesting!! Also the whole magnetic controllers thing makes me thing there could be some "minus and plus" symbols somewhere in the logo, it could be fun!
This was so fun! You do a really good job at explaining things while you are working on them. I don’t know much about animation but it was fun to follow along.
What a pleasing surprise this video is! I was about to start painting some jewelry boxes so I played the video while I was doing the first one. Thanks Daniel for putting this delightful video and that’s a nice logo you just made.
Really interested to see the logo for the new console Switch The Sequel.
Simple but satisfying logo! I could really see Nintendo doing something similar to this if they are replacing the Switch logo. Great design video Daniel!
10:17 The reason it might look bigger, is because your joycon isn’t an equal size. It tapirs off at the top, meaning it’s actually smaller than the bottom. And that contrast might make it look bigger than the other which is located at the bottom, where that part of the joycon _is_ bigger.
Is actually fun to watch 😊
Here to support this amazing video!
This is awesome! Cant wait for this next console!
That looks really cool
I would love to see you redo the switch menu! This was a fascinating video. This is the more interesting aspect of graphic design for me.
If this is actually the start up screen, I will be the happiest man alive
cool concept.
Let’s also appreciate the video thumbnail here. Absolutely amazing!
10:14 it's called the irradiation phenomenon.
personally i would've gone with roman numerals II. have the logo click in like it does for the switch one, then move them apart to make room and then click the II in between one from the top and one from the bottom, landing at the same time. also with their own click. that way you then have 2 clicks in the logo. part of the reason for II is that they look like the extra connector part of the joycons. altogether being a farrrrrrr better fit than an actual 2 in the logo. the only downside is that you'd have to switch from roman numeral, to normal numbers for a possible switch 3 because there's not 3 extra parts for the joycons and it'd look strange and lose meaning
The Joycons are a bit too slim so it looks odd. Also remember that the left Joycon should be slightly wider than the right one to balance out the visual weight.
As a designer I love this content!
as someone studying graphic design, it’s cool hearing all the correct terminology LOL. also the switch logo hurts my head cause the left and right joycons are NOT the same size😭 i don’t know how nintendo got away with it
ALSO THE LOGO CONCEPT IS GOOD!!
It's gonna be called the Switch E
A large stylized 2 with sharp diaganol, one joycon slides into the 2s diagonal.
What if it's not the Switch 2, but the Switch II, and the current joycon logo is modified to look more like roman numerals.
Nice vid!
You could probably forgo using the Histogram if you used ease in/out instead of "easy ease" for all keyframes. Easy Ease smoothens things out on both ends, but you don't always want that. If you want something to ease in at the last 75% (whereas if you use ease in it'll slow down from the 50% mark)... Have your two keyframes (no easing applied), then put a keyframe at the 75% mark, then apply ease in to the end point. From there, you could move the 75% keyframe around to adjust it and maybe apply easy ease to that, but not the beginning (and the last already has ease in).
Put your average light switch In the foreground of a picture with the number two in the background. Slightly bigger of course so you can see it around the edges
As a graphic designer myself, I personally would have animated as each joy con falling down in to place from left to right making the switch snap sound of clicking the joy cons in then had the 2 fall in the middle, and the the joy cons would wiggle to the magnetic force of the 2 and fly over snapping to the 2. 😅
Funny!
Honestly this is the main reason why i always thought the switch 2 naming was stupid (beside just being uncreative). I dont see a way for the 2 to naturally fit in beside maybe making the joycons a roman numeral II.
Simple: Add two lines in between the joycon on the current logo to make the number in roman numerals.
But maybe those are two lines would be to easy to dismiss😅
Nintendo Focus ™
Wait do people think its gonna be called the switch 2
They should just tank the brand and call it the Swiitch lol. The i’s will be the new joy con
Could you make NSO look a bit more like Netflix?
It'll be funny if Nintendo ends up using another dumb/confusing name again. "Switch U"
Replace the 2 with a U
nintendo snap
But it isn't called the Switch 2, is it?
Nah using Photoshop for a logo is actually criminal
Not as bad as me using MS paint for my logo lol
Good ideas but that 2 is ug ug UGLY! Need a better 2....
I'll say this much, if Nintendo calls the switch successor "switch" anything it is dead on arrival.
Thats silly. DS and 3DS, Gameboy systems, NES and SNES
@@undefender 3DS launched so poorly that Nintendo literally created an Ambassador's program to give early adopters a good faith apology lol like what are you even talking about? Lifetime sales of 3DS were half of DS. Same with GBA in comparison to Gameboy.
I can guarantee you that if switch 2 sells half as well as switch, heads will be rolling at Nintendo and their share holders will be pissed.
@@thawhole9 The 3DS did poorly because of its price. Sequel consoles almost always sell worse than their predecessors. The 3DS was so successful it kept Nintendo alive during their WiiU era
@@undefender those are all terrible takes. Imagine being employed at Nintendo and telling the executive leadership or even worse the shareholders "sequel consoles sell worse" 🤣 I guess Sony hasn't been getting that memo 🤷♂️
The 3DS was so successful it kept Nintendo alive because their other offering was their literal worst selling console of all time.
I guess every Playstation system has been dead on arrival since the year 2000 then.
