Adobe has been known to change branding strategies every new version, particularly the logo and icon aspects. Take Photoshop for example. From versions 1.0 to 7.0 there was the ever-present eye in each of the whimsically conjured designs. But this was followed by a more nature-friendly feather concept starting with the two generations belong to the Creative Suite
For CS3, though, Photoshop and practically every other member of Adobe’s Product line has adopted a drastically different icon scheme sporting two letters of the product name on a soft-gradient-fill-ed square.
As Adobe's products have grown deeper and broader in their capabilities, the effort to visually represent what they can do in a literal icon has become increasingly difficult. This challenge became particularly evident when the legacy of eyeballs on beaches and Venus De Milo was replaced with nature imagery in the current Suite era. (CS1/CS2 feathers and butterflies)
LOGO 2 : Nintendo
Aesthetically I think its pleasing. Its fairly simple, clean, and unintrusive when featured on materials. The emotional attachment I feel towards the company is something of a warm satisfaction. It bleeds quality. Fellow gamers know that when you pick up a box with this logo featured (normally only featured if they developed or published the game) that this product means at least a satisfactory - excellent calibur.
Nintendo didn't get to be who they are today by selling poor quality games. Even if I haven't played the game I know in confidence that the vast majority of titles that fall under their banner are superior to similar titles of the genre by other developers.
Its also a logo that some may consider as being timeless. That original featured logo remains unchanged after 23 years in the videogame business.
