Nintendo of Europe has just spread a press release concerning a “big” change in their logo. Kotaku has the goods…

Dear Media Partner,

For several years, a new generation of Wii and Nintendo DS games have adorned themselves with a new logo, in discrete grey.

In various publications the former logo, with red lettering, can still be seen. In the event that you have not already done so, we would like to sincerely ask you to now only use the current, gray Nintendo logo.

Yours sincerely,

Your friendly Nintendo PR team.

Not huge news, but it is a little sad to see big red leave after 20+ years of service.
