hizzy Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 From Bleeding Cool: https://bleedingcool.com/games/atari-reveals-new-logo-to-celebrate-50th-anniversary/ "Atari revealed a brand new logo this week as part of a celebration of the company's 50th anniversary, commemorating its founding in 1971. The logo itself is being called the "GoldSchool Sunnyvale", and as part of its launching, it will be added onto several items over the next calendar year. Including a brand new game collection and merchandise. So far the only piece of merch confirmed by the company is a black t-shirt with the logo you see here on it. We're guessing there will be more throwback pieces across hoodies and hats like we've seen in the past. Here's hoping they make a 50th anniversary edition of the boombox hat they made when Blade Runner 2049 came out." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nall3k Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 It looks cool, and I think this is the right track, ditching mobile, casinos, and tv production... I'm still waiting to see what their other game releases are going to be. They said 12 starting with Centipede Recharged, releasing throughout 2022. So far confirmed, we have... Centipede Recharged Black Widow Recharged Asteroids Recharged Breakout Recharged Food Fight Atari Mania Atari 50th Anniversary Collection ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I like the logo. Calling it now: Recharged versions + Vault 1 and 2 + promo material = $70 boxed 50th Anniversary Atari Edition by Limited Run for Switch/PS5/Xbox. I'll totally buy it, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also read they were going to release a 50th anniversary bundle of the VCS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Nice idea. But too monochromatic, too metroish, too millennialish. Too many of today's seemingly requisite harsh edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefish Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I like it, pretty slick looking. Not sure if I would've called it "GoldSchool Sunnyvale", however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 It's fine. Does what it needs to and nothing more. It calls back to the late 70s Atari stylings. My only criticism is maybe I'd want to see something a little more celebratory, but other than that I have no issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Livo Cat Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Article states the founding year wrong…June, 1972 is the correct date. So 2022 should be a very big year for ATARI. I see big tie-ins with worldwide companies that will have fun with the nostalgia. I see ATARI being used promotionally like Star Wars before The Last Jedi decimated Star Wars…yeah…that big. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMaddog Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 It's not bad, looks retro enough with a 70's vibe but still simple & minimalist for modern tastes. Not that much different from what Sega did for their 60th anniversary but hopefully Atari will release a heck lot more stuff when 2022 rolls around... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youxia Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Nutari in 2022: flogging hats, hoodies & the same old games for the bazillionth time ? Colour me disinterested (especially regarding the "several really exciting lifestyle product collaborations"). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now they release some new 2600 carts… but they are way overpriced and the project so far is hopelessly incompetent. That’s Nutari for you.
