I think we can all agree this is the worst fucking logo for any console ever. Even as a kid I thought this was stupid looking.

Yup, whoever thought that was a good colour scheme was clearly blind. Posting the superior version, which as I'm sure we can all agree is pretty fucking rad.

Is it supposed to remind you of spiral puffs?

[Anonymous No.9557560]

>>9557513
But it really showed the system off that way. A orange squiggle made by a kid. The console was 100% fun and only allowed fun games. It's great for that.

Also the only thing I think the Dreamcast missed in its time was Gurumin wasn't on it. The logo for that game is a white spiral on an orange background, and going in the other direction.

That's only to represent Sonic, nothing more.

They were clearly copying Yoshi's Island with this visual style, even though it contradicts that Dreamcast was supposed to be a next-gen 3D console. This is a very poor reading of the room, and shows that they were very backwards in their thinking. Other 3D consoles (such as N64's animated 3D logo and Gamecube's animated 3D logo) are clearly a lot better, more punchy, and more accurate.

That's the PAL logo anon, this is how every single European console got branded. IMHO it looks way better that way. Orange accents look great on a black console if you can ever find yourself a Treamcast though.

I liked it, it said "this is the future era of Japan", and as such Dreamcast felt the most futuristic and most Japanese of consoles

How is it more futuristic or Japanese than PS1 or PS2 or PSP?

[Anonymous No.9557690]

If you were to make it into a 3D object and count it's sides, it would have 64 sides. Honestly it's pretty cool.

>>9557632
>Dreamcast felt the most futuristic and most Japanese of consoles
The majority of it's library was exclusive to Japan, and very few of it's games were developed by Western developers. Dreamcast, is definitely up there with Saturn and PC Engine as being more Japanese than the other consoles, which is very interesting in this case because the majority of it's sales were in America.

[Anonymous No.9557698]

>>9557674
>2/3 of the system library was exclusively released in Japan
>Of the 1/3 that was released outside of Japan, the majority were English localizations of Japanese games like Sonic, Power Stone, Phantasy Star or Chu Chu Rocket
>Many of the Japanese exclusive games were visual novels and adventure or simulation games which were ported from the PC due to Dreamcast being easy for PC ports
>The VMU targeted mini games for on the go and social interaction, which was a feature primarily for Japanese audience. For other examples see the Pocket Station or 3DS Street Pass.
>First console to ship with a modem and heavily pushed the online aspect

It was definitely more futuristic than the PS1, and even the PS2 at launch. Unfortunately that didn't repair the damage that Sega had done to their reputation in Japan before the launch of the system. Sony similarly did something similar in the modern era and that's a big part of why the Switch is dominating in Japan.

Other than Xbox, consoles and their manufacturers fail at logos and branding. Dreamcast was perfect and shows that. Though the blue version >>9557546 pops less and sucks more because of it

Yeah the joke kinda went over my head, but I doubt they'd love it given how it's the American logotype. Went on a holiday to Netherlands once, stayed at this older gentleman's house in Tilburg for slightly over a week - Airbnb. Anyway, I used to live in the US and even though I wasn't born there I have a very strong American (New York, so probably talk different/faster than the southerners too) accent when I speak English. Dude picks up on it instantly and whenever he'd see me he'd go on mad tirades about how much he hates Americans. Was proper fucking weird. Like IRL shitposting to the point it's super uncomfortable. Nice country though, love the train transit system, visitted quite a few cities because of it. For next to nothing too when comparing the ticket prices to pretty much any European country. Think Eindhoven was the prettiest.

100% false. Only a Nintendo fanboy would think that Sega was trying to copy an idea from a crappy Nintendo game. The Dreamcast logo is iconic and based.

>VGA=Component=SCART
>PS2 and Dreamcast both initially had dial-up abilities
>The Dualshock 2 had pressure sensitive buttons, extending its control scheme capacity for many titles. It was also better designed in general, unlike the Dreamcast with its sharp plastic edges and upside-down controller cable.
>VMU was a tamagotchi memory card and probably a waste of development time and resources when all it needed to do was save your game.

The one thing I'll give you is that the video output was cleaner coming out of the Dreamcast, but this was due to the fact that SEGA had arcade mainboards it had more experience making, and therefore output clarity was typically done with better components. The Dreamcast library is also a mixed bag when many ports were actually better (or exposed how delusional Dreamcast fans are/were) when they were ported to the faster Playstation 2 hardware.

I mean if you watch football you see them wearing orange and you think

>they chose orange just like Germany (for example) chose black and white
but orange is SUCH a big thing in the Netherlands and some people think it is only limited to football and just the choice of colours for their football team. I mean heck I bet you do not even know WHY it is orange after all.
