Splatoon 3 is easily one of the most anticipated first-party releases on the Switch this year, and squid kids (including us here at Nintendo Life) are eager to learn more. We'll take anything 'new' Nintendo has for us at this point, and with this in mind, we've got the third entry's home menu icon reveal.
As shown by Twitter user 'SuperDarkMimeIV', it shows two Inklings and an Octoling covered in yellow and purple themes to match the colours of the third game.
One other thing that's been noted is how over time, more and more squids have been added to the series' icons. As highlighted by a number of Splatoon fans, including former Nintendo Life video presenter Jon Cartwright:
Nintendo also shared some colourful-looking Splatoon 3 artwork on its social channels yesterday. Here it is:
So, what do you think of the home menu icon for Splatoon 3? Do you like it as much as the previous ones? Is it better? Tell us your own thoughts below.

i mean no reason to dislike it. its cool, flashy, and builds off the previous icons
Looks nice, too bad I'm skipping this game.
Love seeing Jon mentions at NintendoLife even if they are brief!
The original icon is the best I think.
So I made this icon for nothing?
@HotGoomba It's not even spelled correctly lol
The image is fine, but I do like the green/pink colors from 2 more.
I like it. Purple and yellow ink make a good pair.
They have a dark inkling on home menu icon, great for color diversity the last two Splatoon games lacked.
@Sambuc I think that’s the point
@Liam_Doolan "it shows a total of three Inklings"
But it has two inklings and one octoling in the image.
@Tourtus Oops, fixed!
Just makes you think, wouldn’t it look amazing as a switch wallpaper! Nintendo make it happen!
I wonder how many characters will be on the fourth icon.
@Snatcher : Wallpaper?
You will take your stability and “improvements to enhance the user experience” and you... will... like... it.
@Screen : Nintendo will skip to Splatoon 5, because the number 4 is considered bad luck in Japan.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Looks very similar to the Splatoon two graphic, which is appropriate considering the game looks very much like Splatoon 2.
Hey kid, you have mustard on your glasses.
Slaptoon 3!!! Slap your kid or squid!!!
Looks cool! That poor yellow Inkling is getting teamed up on tho.
Can't wait to see this icon on my own Switch! Come on September!
I'm sorta hyped now.
@Moistnado splatoon 2 and splatoon 3 are in fact both part of the splatoon franchise so good observation.
hmm, looks like those 2 DJs might be more involved in the game this time round.
When will they announce any important stuff about this game I wonder? Like, is the crappy online setup gonna be changed to make it easier and more flexible to play with friends
Where's the option for "it's fine"?
@CammyUnofficial well, Splatoon 3 is just DLC for Splatoon 2, which in turn, is pretty much the same assets reused from Splatoon 1.
I should be itching for excitment for this game but unfortunately I'm really not. I love Splatoon 1&2. I didn't think Splatoon 2 was really all that different from Splatoon (1) and I was ok with that because I was just happy to finally see the franchise branch out to an entirely new audience. However, they haven't really shown much that separates Splatoon 2 from Splatoon 3. Hopefully they share way more details soon..? Because as it stands right now it's pretty the same as the last game.
Ehh. It's fine? Not exciting.
@Moistnado oh nice I didn't know you could already play splatoon 3 front to back to determine that, my bad
With everything they've shown so far i just really can't get excited for this entry in the series. I hope the campaign is good, at least.
What do you mean the leaks where fake?
Something cool to point out is that each game has used the three complementary color schemes, of blue-orange, red-green, and now yellow-purple.
@AlexanderDaniels Not diverse enough. All 3 should be dark.
@HotGoomba Don't you moderate a logo wiki you should know better...... IT'S A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!! 10/10!!!!!!
@RupeeClock 2 is pink and green.
