Use of different Atari logos


Recommended Posts

To all the theme authors who are gracious enough to share with us their talent, time, and hard work in the form of the fantastic themes they create, I say thank you and please don't take this as criticism, just a suggestion. A lot of the existing MAME themes for Atari titles use the "Atari Games" logo, but I'm pretty sure that logo wasn't used until the coin-op division of Atari was split from their consumer electronics division in 1984 and became "Atari Games". I think games made before then had an Atari logo without the word "games" in it. Anyway, keep up the good work doing stuff I could never dream of doing!

P.S. I didn't think of this, but the reverse is true too... There are some MAME themes for games by Atari Games that have the older Atari logo instead of the Atari Games logo.

I always use the logo from the marquee, so what is on my themes is straight from the source so in my eyes correct. don't know about others though. the older themes can have ncorrect ones we weren't that ocd 6 years ago but thats the same thing with MF logo's 6 out of 10 games use the distrbution logo on the artwork and not the manufacturer of the game like for instance....Rolling Thunder uses the atari games logo on the artwork but is made by namco
