Super Smash Bros. logo
- This article gives information on the Smash universe logo. For information about the logos of other game universes, see Series symbol.
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.
