MinnMax Interview - Designing Nintendo’s Greatest Logos (Patreon)

MinnMax's Ben Hanson talks to legendary graphic designer from Nintendo Jim Wornell about his work designing the logos for games like Animal Crossing, Golden Sun, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Advance Wars, and more. We're also joined by designer Cory Schmitz, who worked on the logos for Ghost of Tsushima, Valorant, Control, Days Gone, Stray, Oculus, and a ton more. In this discussion we talk about Jim's history at Nintendo and how he moved up from working on the manuals for games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to designing logs for games like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. We also just talk about the challenges of designing logos for games overall.

Thanks to Otsego12 from the community for becoming the Game Champion of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and making this whole thing happen.
