GAMERS have spotted an inconsistency in the classic Nintendo 64 logo.
The Nintendo 64 logo is easily one of the most iconic logos in gaming history.

The design comprises a three-dimensional letter N for Nintendo – and four of them are placed together so they form a cube.
And as many of you well know, the color scheme consists of green, blue, yellow, and red.
Now, eagle-eyed gamers and gaming experts have spotted some mistakes in the logo.
The mistake is in the way the “N” is positioned – and this mistake is evident in many Nintendo 64 games.
In the correct logo, the red shading is spotted on the front-facing N and the one to the right.
However, in the incorrect logo, the shading appears in the back-facing N.
This mistake was made when the logo was first created in the early 1990s.
And what’s more, the mistake has been spotted in a number of Nintendo 64 games.

Writer Ian Dean from Creativeblog.com explained how this happened further: “Well, every game released for N64 would have a uniquely animated N64 logo that introduced the game.
“Many logos had the wrong color scheme because the designers had to imagine what the color of the hidden ‘N’ would be.

“This stretched beyond third-party games such as Earthworm Jim 3D and included first-party Nintendo titles like Banjo-Kazooie.”
The mistake was reportedly spotted by Nintendo a long time ago, but they decided to let it go.
Ultimately, the mistake in the Nintendo logo is not a significant one in that it doesn’t affect how the logo looks.
And if nothing else, it’s a reminder that even the best designers make mistakes.
