After thinking more into the interesting design of the Atari logo, I decided to look into what some other early logos looked like compared to Atari’s infamous logo.  I found this article from a couple of years ago where the author looks at five of the early logos, including Atari.  I found it interesting that not only was the logo designed after Pong, but also that the author said it reminded him of the 2600 joystick.  He continues to look at four other logos:  Capcom, Nintendo, Rockstar, and SEGA.  He makes valid arguments for why these five logos should not be changed, despite them being around since the beginning of the game industry.  I agree that these logos are so iconic now, that they should be kept for the life of the companies.  This article was posted because of the change to Rare’s logo in June, 2010.  Rare is another one of the early developers with a classic logo.  When they changed their logo, many people were upset because of how iconic their logo was to the industry.  Also, I think that modern developers are struggling to come up with a neat logo that will be iconic for years.
