Yes, I don't care about the rotating one, as a 2D image, which logos are, the one with red on bottom looks best, and the correct one looks just wrong. I'd probably have gone with the wrong one even if I knew this. Because of a e s t e t h i c s.
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!!
I don't care about the logo, what truly broke my heart is Banjo Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, it should have been Banjo Threeie, why rare, whyyyyyyyy!?!?!?!?
I think what surprises me more than anything is that Nintendo didn't just provide the 3d model for developers and that they must have made it themselves.
@@MagypsyParty Unless I'm mistaken OCD is not being able to focus on something and being distracted constantly and repeatedly by minuscule things. That's basically what I was describing about the creator.
As someone who likes maths, this could've been avoided if they just tried to make the blue and green have the same total area. Most of them got the top part right, so they could've easily guessed the bottom part should've been 2 red and 2 blue, so there would be 2 green in the top and 2 blue in the bottom
was thinking about that. lol. making all the devs create their own model according to their guidelines I guess? maybe things were different back then x)
@@Drammoth Times definitely where different. 3D graphics in games had been around for more than 10 years, but it was still new to a lot of developers. It was also Nintendo's first time tackling this problem. So inexperience was probably a factor.
I feel like you should’ve put the explanation of _why_ the blue is correct in the video rather than in the description, cause it seems a lot of people aren’t reading through it. Maybe you should put a pinned comment saying to read the description or something. That would probably quell some confusion.
yeah... i watched 8+ minites, including a visualozation that i assume was meant to explain how the logo comes together from its constituent parts, and still have no clue. didn't think to check the description.
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
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.
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.
Company: Hi! We would love to make a game for the Nintendo 64! Nintendo: Sure thing, have at it! Company: Great! Now, could you give us the logo model and textu- Nintendo: MAKE YOUR OWN LOGO AND TEXTURES! But here's a pic, shouldn't be too hard.
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.
So wait, Banjo Kazooie, one of Rare's first n64 games, and Conker, Rare's last N64 game made the exact same mistake, but no other Rare game did? Very interesting. Also Tetrisphere is one of my favorite games of all time but that logo has always creeped me out. You'd almost excuse it for "trying to look like a Tetris piece"... But it doesn't... At all
Meanwhile people's attempts at remaking the SM64 logo have all missed that the center colors are both textured with a bump or normal map, and are transparent colored glass on wood/gold (or silver for the DS sequel)
This guy is actually wrong when compared to the logo on the console itself. Each N face should be green , blue, green, blue. Each corner of the N should be yellow. The dips of the N should be green, red, green, red, like the top of the logo.
@@xjf8h83qe0oc9 Thanks for making that, hopefully more people see it because I think a lot of them were failing to understand what this guy was saying.
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.
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.
Glad you pointed this out. I didn't know any of these games were for N64 until you fixed them. The logo is pretty much unrecognizable with 4 pixels of a color in the wrong place.
I believe some of the developers could've changed the logos intentionally. When you correct them, there's too much blue and green. It looks better when there's more red.
One interesting thing I noticed about the correct logo - each direction has a different pair of RGB colours. The upper slopes contain red and green. The outer sides contain green and blue. The lower slopes contain red and blue.
This video could explain the real reason for Conker's commentary after chainsawing the N64 logo! (many think the commentary is to do with Rare's treatment by Nintendo). Perhaps someone at the company finally realized the mistake they've been making with the logo/has been struggling to comprehend the logo colours for a long time and finally got an opportunity to vent about it.

"The one on the top is actually right. [no explanation why it's supposed to be right] So now that that's explained..." ^^ I guess the idea is that the color of the undersides of the diagonal parts alternates like the upside does but with blue insted of green so you don't have two faces with the same color coming together, right? Or am I missing something?
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.
It's kinda sad that I've noticed some n64 logos with wrong coloring and thought they were some chinese bootleg logos but the very first image that comes up when you google 'n64 logo' is wrong and it is the logo I always thought was the official correct logo...
No the first one that comes up is the correct one, the one he is comparing in this video is the correct one rotated 90 decrees to the right so that it shows the other faces.
What an amazing video! This is some good content! I’m so surprised at the views and subscriptions! You’ve got a talent that’s gonna go somewhere, with videos like this!
Fantastic video! i'm so glad this video was created because i always had a feeling that Clayfighter 63/13 looked odd when i used to play that. so glad that someone covered a topic which i coudln't find answers to, very entertaining video!
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.
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
To think this all could've been avoided if Nintendo had given developers a model of the logo to work with. Seeing how previous Nintendo consoles needed their specific intro screen to boot, I'm surprised they didn't do that.
You're not being clear enough on what's wrong withe supposed inaccurate logos. Also you're assuming that each leg of the logo has the same color underneath.
I think the clip in the video of the logo coming together from separate rectangular boxes demonstrates it pretty well. Since it's made from identical parts it's easy to see errors when you understand it's parts.
@@camiscrazy0883 to be fair, I think he's referring to the actual corrections themself, and if the video authors claims of inaccuracy are legit. But again, I think the 3d video of it being built out of parts from different angles was proof enough.
1 guy talks about a wrong color mistake in Nintendo 64 logos for 8 minutes. Nice video. 10/10. Would watch again. god tier content. Life changing video.
Funny how this video got made like a week after I made myself a small styrofoam statue of the nintendo 64 logo. This logo is awesome to me, and holds a special place as a symbol of my childhood and the very first game console that I played. I AM POSITIVE that I painted the colors correctly on my styrofoam statue. XD good video.
*_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._*
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?

At 2:26 I just stop watching this since he's wrong about the logo color, on the console they have the logo and it doesn't match his. You can't say what on the console logo is wrong since they created it.
The logo he showed as "correct" was from a different perspective, hence why he said "These are the three *variations*". The one that matches the console was the one on the top left, which disappeared.
Bruh, I am currently wearing a officially licensed Nintendo 64 hoodie and it has Red on the bottom face. Looks better anyway with red. Screw it. At this point who's to say the logo is wrong. It's just changed through time.
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.

Another reason why Nintendo should've stuck with the Ultra 64 name.
"The one on the top is actually right. [no explanation why it's supposed to be right] So now that that's explained..." ^^
I guess the idea is that the color of the undersides of the diagonal parts alternates like the upside does but with blue insted of green so you don't have two faces with the same color coming together, right? 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. 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.
@@Snooplax Thanks! :)
I'm glad you caught this- pretty much invalidates entire video
@@AlwaysAbiggerFish It's what Nintendo use, I don't know how that's invalid.
It's kinda sad that I've noticed some n64 logos with wrong coloring and thought they were some chinese bootleg logos but the very first image that comes up when you google 'n64 logo' is wrong and it is the logo I always thought was the official correct logo...
No the first one that comes up is the correct one, the one he is comparing in this video is the correct one rotated 90 decrees to the right so that it shows the other faces.
1:09 say that again?
those that still don’t know: 💀

What an amazing video! This is some good content! I’m so surprised at the views and subscriptions! You’ve got a talent that’s gonna go somewhere, with videos like this!
Thank you!
wait,so does anyone have a correct comprehensible guide for someone who might wanna make a table themselves?
Who else felt like they were playing a “try to find the difference between these images” thing
I legit was looking at the n64 logo earlier thinking it looked weird then you drop this video.
Fantastic video! i'm so glad this video was created because i always had a feeling that Clayfighter 63/13 looked odd when i used to play that.
so glad that someone covered a topic which i coudln't find answers to, very entertaining video!
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.
To be honnest though i noticed it as a kid i think developers just had there own spin on each logo.
TBH i prefer it being red, the blue makes it look less.. well varied.
also Aidyn Chronicles and Tetrisphere have it spin clockwise when it should be counter-clockwise
wait.
the one in your profile picture is wrong too
edit: it's actually right, my bad
ty all for the likes though
lukewarmed_ f
how is it wrong?
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
Yes haha
To think this all could've been avoided if Nintendo had given developers a model of the logo to work with. Seeing how previous Nintendo consoles needed their specific intro screen to boot, I'm surprised they didn't do that.
The wrong logo looks better. Otherwise, the red in the logo drowned out by the rest of the colors.
I thought it was going to be another stupid video on my feed but I actually watched the whole thing. Interesting ASF bro thank you
You're not being clear enough on what's wrong withe supposed inaccurate logos. Also you're assuming that each leg of the logo has the same color underneath.
I think the clip in the video of the logo coming together from separate rectangular boxes demonstrates it pretty well. Since it's made from identical parts it's easy to see errors when you understand it's parts.
How is he not clear enough, he points and arrow to the wrong color, then fixes the same wrong color to be correct.
@@camiscrazy0883 to be fair, I think he's referring to the actual corrections themself, and if the video authors claims of inaccuracy are legit. But again, I think the 3d video of it being built out of parts from different angles was proof enough.
I love that video when you fix the N64 Color Correctly.
1 guy talks about a wrong color mistake in Nintendo 64 logos for 8 minutes. Nice video. 10/10. Would watch again. god tier content. Life changing video.
Conker knew that was the wrong nintendo logo all along, what a mad man
Funny how this video got made like a week after I made myself a small styrofoam statue of the nintendo 64 logo. This logo is awesome to me, and holds a special place as a symbol of my childhood and the very first game console that I played.
I AM POSITIVE that I painted the colors correctly on my styrofoam statue. XD good video.
*_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._*
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?
reperfan4 I feel like the one used most often would be the correct one.

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
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 I feel like this info should've been in the video, it's what the entire thing hinges on, but there's no explanation.
1:05 There isn't an ocean inside your table.
Can we all just agree the N64 logo has TOO MUCH GREEN.
It has the same amount of blue
Nintendo should have included their model in the development kit so developers couldn't mess this up.
Did I just watch 8 minutes of nintendo 64 logos
Yes
I don't know why anyone would need this information, but thank you.
Wow, I really hope someone got fired for that blunder.
i see you own a copy of mumkey kong 64
this deserves WAY more views
Why not just show the parts of the intros that contain the logos?
Nostalgia
I never been so bored watching a video before
I will never unsee this...great video though!
Thanks!
With the Top Gear one the reflection of the logo is completely messed up, it's just the logo underneath it, not even mirrored or anything
At 2:26 I just stop watching this since he's wrong about the logo color, on the console they have the logo and it doesn't match his. You can't say what on the console logo is wrong since they created it.
Yeah, I checked a bunch of games, the console and the boxes consoles came in and he appears to have picked the wrong one as the correct logo...
The logo he showed as "correct" was from a different perspective, hence why he said "These are the three *variations*". The one that matches the console was the one on the top left, which disappeared.
This console had some really good games
i dont get it
Green face, red top, blue bottom. Blue face, green top, red bottom.
Bruh, I am currently wearing a officially licensed Nintendo 64 hoodie and it has Red on the bottom face.
Looks better anyway with red. Screw it. At this point who's to say the logo is wrong. It's just changed through time.
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.
@@Snooplax I see what you're saying now. I should probably delete my comment but I'll keep it for everyone else to see your response. Thanks for correcting my confusion. I should have paid more attention.
