*Atari Unveils New Logo, Games, And More For 50th Anniversary*
In Forbes by Anthony Karcz Nov 10, 2021

Established in Sunnyvale, CA in 1972, Atari has had quite the history.
They were on the cutting edge of the burgeoning video game industry in
the early '80s, producing classic arcade games such as Asteroids and
Centipede as well as the first home video game console with swappable
cartridges. Back before Nintendo made a splash, Atari defined the path.

Atari's back with a new console, the Atari VCS, that feeds up retro and
remastered retro games, as well as acting as a full-fledged computer
system. It's an interesting bit of hardware that has yet to really take
off, but the company's hoping some good ol' anniversary hype will do
the trick.

First up is the new Atari logo. Referred to as "Goldschool Sunnyvale,"
a reference to their old school status and city of origin, it
incorporates the classic Fuji mark (no sense in changing a classic).
The golden logo (because, golden anniversary) will be seen on all kinds
of merch in the coming year as they approach their official anniversary
on June 27, 2022...
