    is there any similarity at all besides “they’re both red”?

    SNES logo. A red sans-serif font in italics

    in fact, if there is a “stolen”, then SNES is doing the stealing. here’s Bethesda’s 1986–2000 logo. you can clearly see that the new logo is based on the “Bethesda” in this:

    the new logo is clearly modified from this

    if you checked the headline of the article, you’ll see that it’s a nod to their retro days. i’ve heard of not reading the body content of the article, but this is the first time i’ve seen someone not even read the headline.

    this misses what happened to public colleges, like the land grant colleges you mention. at the height of counterculture, campuses exposed everyone to powerful ideas that made them do all kinds of organizing against the establishment. for example in 1970 the Ohio National Guard was called onto Kent State University and fired over sixty rounds into anti-war protestors, killing four. Ronald Reagan became California Governor, defunded universities, and introduced tuition to stop this onset of class consciousness; in his words, to bar “undesirables” from college. then in 1975, NYC went almost bankrupt, and regretfully adopted the same measures upon the City University system in a ton of cuts to tackle $14 billion and growing in debt. thus the same policies spread across the rest of the US. a similar reason is why the “leftist” party in Britain managed to landslide against 20 years of Conservative rule by promising to introduce tuition.
