The logo for the Nintendo Switch 2 has now reportedly leaked, according to Universo Nintendo editor-in-chief ‘Necro’ Felipe Lima.
They claim to have seen the logo for the successor for the Nintendo Switch from a photo of the console they received from a reliable source and have recreated the logo.
Bom dia e posso dizer que, pela primeira vez obtive acesso à logo do Nintendo Switch 2 graças a uma foto do console que uma fonte confiável me enviou

Com base no que vi e respeitando as medidas, recriei e ela será EXATAMENTE assim: pic.twitter.com/ON4Yu7FLe0
This should be treated as a rumor until an official announcement from Nintendo is made.
There have also been alleged images of the Joy-Cons for the Nintendo Switch 2 leaked online. Accessory maker Dbrand reportedly leaked the design for the console.
Nintendo has confirmed it will be unveiling the Nintendo Switch 2 by the end of March and the console will be backwards compatible with the original Switch.

I could do that in paint. Which means someone somewhere got paid a lot.
Ehhh idk... Yes, most companies pay for logos and names, but Nintendo's have been so bad I'm sure they come up with them by themselves lol
To name Switch 2 and reuse the logo they already had... nobody had to be hired, for sure.
Switch Pro Controller, Logo, Motherboard/Chipsets, dock, Memory and memory bandwidth, joycons, dimensions and layouts of the Switch2, the name (being confirmed)..... Jeeebus Nintendo. Just show us the damn thing already.
they wanted not to make anything official until the xmas season was well over, cause they do not wanted to boycott the still strong Switch sells.
So... all those leaks seem to be "tolerated" (or even desired) to make dedicated people not lose the interest in the incoming machine presentation.
In this case, it was already clear the next machine would be extremely continuist with the last one, so, no big problem for Nintendo.
It is not the usual situation with Nintendo, but I think it is the correct thing in this very specific case.
That's a switch 2 logo alright
I understand he wants to show a clean version, but if he already has the photo, so many tools exist to hide the identity of the photo creator. To me it would be much more satisfying a rumor if the photo was shown instead.
Why even bother taking the risk... one tiny mistake, one thing you didn't notice and you're getting legal summons from the big N.
It's more legit and others did it seems okay.
Anyone else annoyed that the left side of the two is not aligned vertically?
"left side of the two" Could you clarify what you mean by this? If you're saying that the pair of joy cons are not vertically aligned, upon conducting my own research, I have discovered that they are in fact aligned vertically (contradicting your claim).
I think he is referring to the top left part of the 2 and how it is at a 45 degree angle and not a vertical angle. I think he just wants a tiny bit of the 2 trimmed off.
Almost there, what I meant was that the top part of the 2 extends just a tiny but more to the left than the bottom one. If you draw a vertical line from the bottom left corner it will cut the upper part. Somehow I immediatly noticed and now can't unsee it.
ah i see. (In other words: "the left side of the '2' is not vertically aligned.") That makes significantly more sense Lol. I though you were using the word "two" in reference to the two joy cons.
Lol I wanted to write "number two" and it somehow eluded me in the moment.
wow somebody actly just came in an downvoted every comment on this post. Shameless behavior. (it sure is a good thing I can just +2 everyone lol.)
...this leaked like 2w ago? (Confirmed via Pyoro.)
New logo: https://x.com/necrolipe/status/1876938194572239001.
Old logo: https://x.com/necrolipe/status/1868288947304198243.
It did leak that it had a big '2' beside the Switch logo, but not the exact font and size, which this apparently claims to be.
I see what you're saying now. That makes more sense. So, in other words, instead of it being an accurate sketch, we now have what is essentially a 99% authentic recreation, respecting all measurements and everything.
That, or this comes from leaked official material somehow.
Anyone else here thinks that if they're going to call is Switch 2 that there's an opportunity for some kind of play on the s being replaced by a 2?
Honestly still surprised if this is legit. Nintendo, as crazy as it seems, has NEVER used a sequential number for a system release, like Sony and PS2>PS3 (and so on) for example.
NES
SNES
N64
GameCube
Wii
Wii U
Switch
Game Boy
Game Boy Color
Game Boy Advance
Nintendo DS
Nintendo DSi
Nintendo 3DS
Switch
Perhaps they're tired of trying to think up a new name and want to go the PlayStation route/smart phone route?
Yes personally I prefer 'Super Switch" over "Switch 2".
corny and very confusing for nongamer parents that are like half the paying market
Yes, this is what I have been saying for two years! Super Switch! But, I do see the appeal in the safe and boring Switch 2 name. I gotta think though, if Nintendo hadn't been burned by the Wii > Wii U transition, in which a LOT of parents didn't realize Wii U was a new console and not just a Wii add-on, I bet Super Switch might have been in the running for the name.
This is the first console developed and released under their new CEO who has already done things very differently than Iwata.
Either call it the NS2 or Nintendo 8... I don't care, just move to numbers.
That's so ugly
idk if ugly is the right term...maybe a little boring? idk i personally don't mind it all too much.
Switch 2: "I'm inevitable"
We already saw that logo weeks ago.
Again?? your source is from Brazil ?? Oh gosh!
I don't like it that much. I think Nintendo can do better than that. I hope it is a false rumor
