Brand profile
Video game and consumer electronics brand
Atari is a brand name that several companies have owned since 1972. Its current owner is Atari SA, the holding company formerly called Infogrames Entertainment, which describes its focus as video games, consumer hardware and licensing.
The original Atari, Inc. was founded in 1972 in Sunnyvale, California, by Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney. Its products included the arcade game Pong and the Atari 2600 home console.
The name comes from the board game Go, in which atari describes a position where a player can capture one or more of the opponent’s stones on the next move.
The Atari logo was designed by George Opperman and drawn by Evelyn Seto. It is known as the “Fuji” because it resembles the Japanese mountain, although its origins are unrelated to Mount Fuji.

Design context
Opperman said he based the design on the letter A and shaped it to suggest two players on either side of the centre line of a Pong court. Some people at Atari at the time disputed this account, saying Opperman had offered several designs and Bushnell and others chose this one.
When the original company was split in 1984–85, Atari Corporation received the trademarks and home rights, while Atari Games received the right to use the logo and brand name on arcade products with the word “Games” appended.
