The "Nintendo DS" was also originally just the code name. Until Nintendo decided to use it at the final name. I actually think that Nintendo has generated enough hype with the name "Revolution" that it has stuck. I would be surprised, if they name it something else.

Nitro was the originally supposedt o be the DS's final name. You can look at the back your DS to see the proof. That NTR definately doesn't stand for DS.

As for Revolution being "just" the codename, everyone is calling it Revolution, and it's because Nintendo was calling it Revolution.
*sits back and plays my Nintendo Dolphin*
Besides, Nintendo has stated that "Revolution" is the codename of their next home console. They have not said anything about the real name. So if you're going by what Nintendo has said so far, then the Revoltuion is not the true name of the console. But I'm not saying that it can't be- in fact, I love the name and I think there's a good chance that it'll stick. But you can't say that it's going to be the real name just because Nintendo's been using the word when they talk to the press.
If that IS the real name, and these ARE real logos, I really don't think that they'll be the actual design you'll be seeing at the Rev's start up screen. The second one...no way, too hideously hideous. The first one, maybe, but I can't see Nintendo just using a screwed up R as their next logo unless it has some other meaning ( ie. the GC logo was a Cube that made a G.) They don't look like final designs to me, and if they are, well oh well because it means nothing anyway
I know a guy who works for Nintendo of Australia so I'm right

I was over at the nintendo.com forums and they locked a thread on this and put up a picture of Tommy Lee Jones with one of those red glow stick memory wiper thingies. Below it said, "you didn't see anything."

Apple does the same thing. OS X used to just be OS X 10.0, 10.1, and 10.2. With OS X 10.3 they stuck the development name, "Panther," to the end of it, and they did the same with OS X 10.4 "Tiger." Tiger had hype building for months, why not use it as the final name?

Wouldn't it be Nintendo of Japan that would come up with the logo and such?

However, I'm a designer in an advertising and design agency, and one of our core services is brand identity development (aka "making logos"). Rick's right: Photoshop is an industry standard design program, and is often used in the creation of identity systems. I tend more towards Illustrator, at least in the beginning, but to each his own. It'd be crazy (or at least, a waste of billable time) to go all out and do 3D renders or other such stuff in a Preliminary Design Phase (which is what these designs appear to be). Add all the polish to your logo AFTER the client likes your direction.
If these are fakes, whoever made them at least shows a good sense of the design process (check the version numbering system, for example).

Yeah but NCL doesn't quite understand the North American market so they might have NOA design it to get something with more universal appeal. With the hiring of Reggie and the DS launching first in North America I think NCL knows that they don't know North America and thus are letting NOA call a bit more of the shots.
If any of those are the logo I really hope the "R cube" one doesn't get used. It's gross and it associates with the Cube which I think the Rev should try to be the virtual opposite of. The Cube represents a lot of what people don't like about Nintendo. Therefore the Rev should be seen as a new beginning for a new Nintendo and that means a totally different logo.

Quote10.2 was codenamed "Jaguar", the original box, while named 10.2 had an X with jaguar fur on it, it was full fisted. I think 10.1 was code named Cheetah too.
Apple does the same thing. OS X used to just be OS X 10.0, 10.1, and 10.2. With OS X 10.3 they stuck the development name, "Panther," to the end of it, and they did the same with OS X 10.4 "Tiger." Tiger had hype building for months, why not use it as the final name?
The logo should be a fist. Nothing says "Revolution" better than a fist. I mean I was going to suggest that they had a red star or a hammer and sickle but those don't roll over too well with the conservative crowd.

BTW, the "They call it that" logic would have made sure the Xenon would be called Xenon or XBox Next. Instead MS went with the worst possible name. I doubt we're going to see a retail OS called Longhorn, either. Revolution is simply an awful name for a product.

Though the logo doesn't go very well with the text. Actually, the lmockups really illustrate that "Nintendo Revolution" is way too long of a name. Maybe "Revolution from Nintendo" isn't such a bad idea after all...
