Koei Tecmo exec calls company 'Kotec,' we snicker
Game Watch reports that a party was recently held at Tokyo's Imperial Hotel celebrating the merger between Tecmo and Koei. During the festivities -- which included Koei co-founder Keiko Erikawa singing "The Girl from Ipanema" -- an executive decided to try out a new moniker for the company: Kotec. Not a bad amalgamation -- though our own staff was really rooting for Moei -- but there's something ... off about it. Something we can't quite place. Oh, wait, now we remember.Maybe the company should just follow Namco Bandai's example and stick with Koei Tecmo.[Via Kotaku]
Koei and Tecmo's merger commemorated with new logo
Say goodbye to one more classic Japanese game company logo. The newly merged Koei-Tecmo holding company revealed its logo, which features a K and T inside circular outlines. We say "one more classic logo" and not "two," because the Koei logo we most strongly associated with the brand was replaced in the last console generation with the "bubble" logo on which this new one is based. We didn't even realize there was a stylized K in the Koei logo until we saw this new variant.We suppose if we can get used to the "new" Konami logo, we can get used to this. We will never get over the loss of the Namco logo, however.[Via NeoGAF]
