I NEVER EVEN NOTICED THE C

[-] [email protected] 38 points 10 months ago

Funny. I never noticed the real G. The C was always close enough for me.
It really is a brilliant logo

[-] [email protected] 45 points 10 months ago

I never noticed the real G

Motherfuckers act like they forgot about Dre

[-] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

It’s because real Gs move in silence like lasagna

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Mom's spaghetti

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I never noticed C or G. Just saw a funny box

Plp. Do do do do - do do do do - do do do do - da da... PLOMP!

I've used this as a ring tone for at least 10 years.

[-] [email protected] 48 points 10 months ago

I remember taking a design class in the 1990s right after GC came out, and the professor basically said "this will be used as a demo in intro design classes for the next century." I thought it was hyperbole, but people still talk about it.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

But the GameCube was released 2001

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I think the logo was teased at least a couple of years earlier, iirc.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Oh yes I am dumb, of course there was information about a console before release...

[-] [email protected] 42 points 10 months ago

And don’t forget the ridiculously good sound design and animation to build it in. Happily burnt into the depths of my brain.

Dinka-dinka-dinhuh-dinkaah-dinka-dinka-dinkadinkadinkadadedink.

Womp.

Both this and the N64 logo were pretty great from a design aspect.

There's a building in Illinois that resembles the N64 logo.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago

Fun fact: the 3D model of the N64 logo has 64 faces and 64 vertices.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

I always looked at it like it had 4 N's and 6 faces but your point is way more interesting.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I wanna walk up those “stairs”

[-] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

You got 4m long legs?

[-] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago

And all the while the GameCube isn't actually a cube.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

GameCuboid or GameRectangularPrism weren't as catchy.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

it’s not even topologically a cube because of the ventilation holes! it’s first homology group has at least 64 copies of ℤ, it’s supposed to have none!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

This thing goes all the way to the top!

[-] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

Plus it makes Frank Zappa sounds

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago
[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Lol, half the comments on your link talk about how Vai sounds Zappa-esque.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Vai worked for Zappa, didn't he?

I remember reading that he was hired to transcribe Zappa's live solos

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I thought it was Steve Vai sounds.

Also, if you played the GameCube at all, you hear that cube walking across the screen every... single... TIME!

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

one does not simply turn on a gamecube without holding Z

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Never had a GameCube… what’s holding Z do?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Changes the start up sounds sequence, if i recall correctly you could also hold L or R for other sounds as well,

It's clever but it's a pretty ugly logo.

And I say that as a person who LOVES the GameCube. Double Dash? Smash bros? The sweet handle to carry the cube around? Amazing system.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago

I think it really fit its aesthetic.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

For the early 2000's this is pretty tight.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

What's ugly about it? Wouldn't it be better to say, "I think it's ugly" or something?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

We clearly have a different definition of “brilliant”. LMFAO

[-] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Don't worry, with a lot of hard work you'll be able to catch up. Good luck.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

With comments like that, this guy probably works for Nasa.
