On the flipside though I dunno how well the EarthBound style logo would work for Mother 3 considering it doesn't really mention the pulp sci-fi stuff at all. The simplistic, wider design lets it more clearly be mechanized. Plus the EarthBound logo doesn't even have the earth to replace.
A toothpick changes everything
Mother 2's logo is so grandiose, but EarthBound's logo really captures that weird pulp classic sci-fi vibe that a lot of the game has. Plus that purple is so nice.

It's crazy how good the EarthBound logo is for being entirely made up by Nintendo of America using that name for a second time
The EarthBound Beginnings logo? Yeah that feels about right for a name change, really just working off the Mother 1 Logo. The EarthBound logo is so different from the Mother 2 logo, but I'd say kinda gets the entire vibe of the game across better?
I dunno it's just so interesting that they pretty clearly looked at a game the DKC1/2 staff worked on after that they don't own anymore for inspiration on how to clean up Rare's old designs
I still love that despite Rattly getting a pretty big redesign in Bananza with a less massive head and adding eyelids to his massive googly eyes, they somehow made him look more like a Banjo-Kazooie character by having his eyes be more shaped like half the characters in those games.
