The Super Smash Bros series and universe is represented by a logo that takes the form of a circle or sphere overlapped by one thin horizontal and one thicker vertical line, which intersect at a point to the bottom left of the circle’s centre. This symbol made its first appearance in the introduction clip of the original Super Smash Bros, appears in many places elsewhere throughout the game and its successors, and is used in other media associated with the series, such as the Smash Bros Dojo website.
The exact meaning of the logo has never been defined within the games; however, it is possible that the cross represents the unity or convergence of different characters and series.
On items and other objects
- Assist Trophies – the logo appears embossed on the inside base of the item.
- Barrels – the logo is printed on the top surface of traditional or "garden" Barrels in Brawl, but not their themed counterparts, and all Barrels in Melee.
- Bumpers – the logo is part of a black and gold design in the centre of this item in Brawl, but not on its N64 counterpart.
- Crates and Rolling Crates – the logo printed on the side of traditional Crates and Rolling Crates in Brawl and, all Crates in Melee.
- Fighting Wire Frames – both Melee's male and female Fighting Wire Frames sport a red Smash Bros logo on their faces.
- Smash Balls – this item takes the form of a rainbow coloured Smash Bros logo.
- Snake's taunts – The box under which Snake hides has the logo printed on its side in red, alongside the text “Smash Bros”.
- Trophy Bases – the logo appears on the top surface of the Trophy Base item.
- Trophies – the logo on the upper surface of trophy bases in Melee and Brawl.
- Great Maze save points – The Great Maze of Brawl's Subspace Emissary features a hovering pink or yellow Smash Bros logo in each of its save points. If pink, players can touch them to warp to other pink save points.
- In the original Super Smash Bros, the logo appears on the character select screen in the place of any player slot without a selected character.
- The letter "O" in the title artwork for both Melee and Brawl is represented by an image of the logo. Brawl's Subspace Emissary also features the logo in this fashion.
- When loading something, Brawl displays a spinning Smash Bros logo.
- On the stage selection screen of all three games, the logo appears alongside the title of any stage that identifies with the Smash Bros universe as opposed to other game universes.
- In Brawl, various versions of the logo represent various difficulty settings – "easy", "medium" and "hard" in Event Mode, with the addition of "very hard" and "intense" in The Subspace Emissary. As well as variations in colour, the icons that represent the easiest difficulties have one or both of the logo's lines removed, while the "hard" difficulty has both lines, and the icons that represent the even more difficult settings have additional, diagonal lines.
In the Smash Bros. DOJO!!
In its title artwork, the Smash Bros. DOJO!! incorporates a version of the Smash Bros logo that is stylised such that its surface appears spherical. The logo also appears at the head of written articles pertaining to the Smash Bros universe.
