[[File:SmashBrosSymbol.svg|right]]

The '''''Super Smash Bros.''''' '''[[series symbol|logo]]''', which represents both the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|series]] and the [[Super Smash Bros. (universe)|universe]], is a circle or sphere split by one horizontal line and one thicker vertical line, which intersect at a specific point to the bottom left of the circle's center. This symbol made its first appearance in the [[opening movie#Super Smash Bros.|introduction clip]] of the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' It appears in many places elsewhere throughout the game and its successors, and is used in other media associated with the series, such as the Smash Bros. DOJO!! website. It is also used as the [[series symbol]] of the [[Mii]] Fighters in ''[[Smash 4]]'' and ''[[Ultimate]]''.

[[Masahiro Sakurai]] provided [http://sourcegaming.info/2015/03/30/smash-reader-response-page-9-meaning-behind-smash-logo-lip-ice-climbers-and-balloon-fight/ an explanation] for what the logo represents on ''Smash 64's'' website. Intended to be simple in design, Sakurai stated that the cross represents the crossover of the various Nintendo characters and properties, while the logo's four sections reference the four-player aspect of the games.

==On items and other objects==
*'''[[Assist Trophy]]''' – The logo appears embossed on the inside base of the item.
*'''[[Barrel]]''' – The logo is printed on the top surface of traditional or "garden" Barrels in ''Brawl'', but not their themed counterparts, and all Barrels in ''Melee''.
*'''[[Bumper]]''' – The logo is part of design in the centre of the item. The logo is black and gold in ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Brawl'' and yellow and orange in ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''.
*'''[[Coin]]s''' – The collectable currency in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' is depicted in the form of gold coins with the ''Smash Bros'' logo on both sides.
*'''[[Crate]]s and Rolling Crates''' – the logo is printed on the side of traditional Crates and Rolling Crates in ''Brawl'' and is printed on all Crates in ''Melee''.
*'''[[Fake Smash Ball]]''' – Similar to a Smash Ball, this item takes on the form of a floating ''Smash Bros.'' logo. However, it's depicted with a thicker horizontal line and a thinner vertical line; the inverse of the regular ''Smash'' symbol.
*'''[[Fighting Wire Frames]]''' – both ''Melee''{{'}}s male and female Fighting Wire Frames sport a red ''Smash Bros.'' logo on their faces. Their [[Media:FightingWireFramesHeadSSBM.png|head icons]] also consist of the ''Smash Bros.'' logo.

*'''[[Ray Gun]]''' - Inside the barrel, as of ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''.
*'''[[Home Run Bat]]''' - At the base of the grip, as of ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''.
*The floor of the ''Smash Bros.'' version of the '''[[Boxing Ring]]'''.
*The "''KOF''" logo on the floor of the '''[[King of Fighters Stadium]]''' stage, with it taking the place of the "''O''".
*In the background of parts of the '''[[Smash Run]]''' stage.
*On outfits for the '''[[Mii Fighter]]s'''.
*On the bases of ''Super Smash Bros.''-series '''[[amiibo]]'''.
*On the door that appears in [[Sealing the Keyhole]], [[Sora]]'s [[Final Smash]].

==As a design element==
*[[Character]]s and [[boss]]es belonging to the ''Smash Bros.'' universe, such as the [[Fighting Polygon]]s, [[Wire Frame]]s and [[Alloy]]s, [[Mii Fighter]]s and [[Master Hand]] and [[Crazy Hand]], display the ''Smash Bros.'' logo next to their [[damage]] meters, as their character [[series symbol]].
*If a match ends with No Contest, the ''Smash Bros.'' logo can be seen on the [[results screen]] in place of the winner's series symbol.
**A shadow of the logo is also cast on the ground in the No Contest results screen of ''SSB4''.
*In the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the logo appears on the [[character]] select screen in the place of any player slot that is not assigned to a human or computer player.
*The logo appears in the bottom right of the [[Mode|Menu]] screen in ''Super Smash Bros.'', and in the menu's background along with the other ''Smash Bros.'' logos.
*During [[Training Mode]] in ''Super Smash Bros.'', every stage's background is replaced with the logo.
*The [[Pause]] screen  in ''Super Smash Bros.'' features the logo.
*In ''Melee'', the room featured in the [[Collection]] mode has two window shades near the corner of the rooms; a faint logo can be seen on both of them. In ''Brawl''{{'}}s [[Trophy Hoard]], a large ''Smash'' logo can be seen on the floor underneath the trophies.
*The letter "O" in the title artwork for every game starting with ''Melee'' is represented by an image of the logo. ''Brawl''{{'}}s Subspace Emissary title artwork also features the logo in this fashion.
*The loading screen in ''Brawl'' displays a spinning or flashing ''Smash Bros.'' logo. In ''SSB4'', it's a fiery ''Smash'' logo with a spinning outline, and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', it's a static logo orbited by a spinning line.
*On the stage selection screen of ''Brawl'' and subsequent games, the logo appears alongside the title of any stage that identifies with the ''Smash Bros.'' universe as opposed to other game universes.
*In ''Brawl'', various versions of the logo represent various [[Difficulty]] settings – "easy", "medium" and "hard" in [[Event Mode]], with the addition of "very hard" and "intense" in {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} and The Subspace Emissary. As well as variations in color, the icons that represent the easiest difficulties have one or both of the logo's lines removed, while the "hard" difficulty has both lines, and the icons that represent the even more difficult settings have additional, diagonal lines.
*The [[opening movie#Super Smash Bros. 4|opening movie]] of ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' starts by showing a black screen which is then broken by two slashes (using a slash-esque sound effect), one vertical and the other horizontal in a very similar fashion to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' logo. It opens up to reveal fire roaring behind the blackness. At this point the sound of a heartbeat and flames can be heard. The camera then zooms into said fire (at the point where the horizontal and vertical slashes meet) and transitions into the movie. Many official videos released for ''Smash 4'' have this intro, including most of the [[List of Super Smash Bros. 4 character trailers|trailers]]. [[List of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character trailers|Trailers for ''Ultimate'']] feature a similar transition, but more stylized; there is no fire, the slashes are more geometric, and the sound effects used are less organic.
*''Ultimate''{{'}}s reveal trailer had the reflection of the logo in the [[Inkling]]'s eye, which then pans out to reveal the logo itself. This is actually the inverse of the logo used for character trailers in ''SSB4''; while the ones used there had the cross on fire, in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s reveal trailer, everything except the cross was on fire. At the end of the North American commercial for ''Ultimate'' titled "More Fighters, More Battles, More Fun", and the beginning of Sora's reveal trailer titled "The Last Key," the Inkling's eye again shows the flaming ''Smash Bros.'' logo.
*On ''Ultimate''{{'}}s stage select screen, the ''Smash Bros.'' logo is used to represent the standard form of each stage, as opposed to the [[Ω form]] or [[Battlefield form]].

==On the Smash Bros. DOJO!!==
In its title artwork, the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] incorporates a design of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' logo that has its surface appear spherical. The logo also appears at the head of written articles pertaining to the ''Smash Bros.'' universe.

==Trivia==
[[File:NES_Series_Logos.png|thumb|400px|The Sports Series logo, second from the left.]]
*The ''Super Smash Bros.'' logo coincidentally looks similar to the Sports Series logo used for old NES sports games, formed by the intersection of a baseball bat and a golf club on a tennis racket.
