Today is something interesting as we are talking about how Mortal Kombat – a game that many people know and love, many having played it since they were young. But, we found out that the logo for this beloved gory game was almost scraped as the logo was mistaken for a seahorse…which isn’t on brand for this game at all.

The Mortal Kombat logo is one of the most iconic logos in gaming, as this game has been around for years and again, played by many. The logo is recognized as a silhouette dragon, that’s swooping around to resemble a Yin and Yang symbol which is quite beautiful. However, this logo almost wasn’t the logo for Mortal Kombat…that is if the co-creator John Tobias had listened to a comment from his sister, who had indeed thought that the original rough sketch of the dragon was actually a seahorse.
