One of my favorite details in the Smash series is the symbols that are used to represent the series' universe.
As somebody who's studying graphic design, I really do enjoy seeing them and how much they can represent the series, though there are some I believe could have been better, my biggest examples are the ones for Mega Man and Final Fantasy series symbols.
Mega Man's one for me isn't awful, but it doesn't scream Mega Man in my opinion, just a piece of gear for me isn't enough. Personally, I would have gotten for Mega Man's helmet, since for me that represents the franchise as a whole.
Final Fantasy's is one I just find really poorly done and overall feels like not much thought was put into it. I don't know much of the Final Fantasy series, but just have the series initials seems lazy to me. I can make an exception with Street Fighter's, since it actually provides an great use in its typography, though I would have prefer something more unique, it's fine. Final Fantasy's however, is just two F's, it felt like no creativity was put into it. It could have been something like the head a moogle or something, it just feels, well, lazy.
Any other symbols you felt could have been improved?
