Logo[edit]
The orange represents fun, familiarity, warmth, joy, creativity, and happiness. Good-Feel chose orange as to keep a positive attitude. The dots are meant to mimic the smallest unit of data, expressing Good-Feels commitment to games without breaking the first resolution. The letters with dots atop of them are also designed to mimic human expressions, them being joyful (ë) and surprised (ö), as well as looking like accent marks.[2][3]
The Japanese logo displays gray text above the orange text saying "もっと、いいかんじに" which roughly translates to "More, Better".
