platform game Logos and Brands

The platformer genre, which originated in the era of arcade machines and 8-bit consoles, is the subject of the “Platform Game” section, which examines the logos of iconic game series and individual projects. Platformers are built around the mechanics of jumping between platforms, overcoming obstacles, and collecting items, and among the brands in this section are series that have defined the video game industry. Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, Crash Bandicoot, and other franchises have transformed platformers from simple game mechanics into a genre with billions in sales. The visual symbols of platform games are associated with the images of the main characters, who have become mascots of entire console generations and symbols of gaming culture in the 1980s–2000s.
