looks fugly to me. i can understand why they wanna replace the old one thou since its been around since PSone. i was hoping they'd go for a more sleek, clean, modern look such as maybe closer to their vaio logo. sony can do better than this.

They used to be all about the style, what happened that made them so out of touch that they came up with this?



It's a shame to see a decent company going down the pan like Sony is atm.

maybe is just a new logo for a new service in the xmb... not the replace the PS logo...

That logo does look ugly. I hope they were meaning this as a spoof because all they have to do now is make it a slime green and it can compete in the clown show across the street.

It would much better in color with more shading.

As a graphic designer, I have the 'pleasure' of working with/designing logos quite often. Blue-chip companies follow a fashion - Apple's Aqua is a perfect example of this... even websites themselves are sporting the glassy buttons and the iTunes' style ground-reflection, with a logo designed back in the 80's!



Anyway, I personally like it for what it represents; a break away from the clean, crisp, clean-cut fashion that has taken over the world. It just looks fun to me, which is what the PS franchise is all about... to me anyway.



I agree that solid black is a bit over whelming and in-your-face, but I start logos off as a single colour, so I can concentrate on shapes and patterns, etc. Also understand that colour cannot be registered as a copyright as its... well... colour (this may differ from country to country though). All the registrar is concerned with is the 'image' (shape). Sony clearly has no problem with using whatever colour any given situation requires to logo to be, hence the black registration.



I do have one negative comment though; I personal think the Triangle should be slightly rotated counter-clockwise to move it away from the Square, which would also fill the gap nicely at the top of the X and Circle. Also, that extremely thin line between the Triangle and the Square will cause problems when printing at small sizes - it will just break up.



Anyway, like I said, that's all personal to me.

Can you say 'Clip art'?

with a gyro function

Looks to me like the circle, with correct colouring would be a globe, in qhich case i would say that the logo is infact something to do with the Playstation store either for PS3 or to do with the Playstation store equivalent that is coming to the PSP with video downloads etc.



Either way, i'm sure this wil be online/global related.

lol!



xDD

What on Earth makes you think it was meant to be 'spammer'? Eh? Why? What is there to make you think that??? It's 'spanner' as in 'you tool'... you numb-nut!



I'm pointing and laughing at you now! Other people must be too! HAHAHAHA!

OK, OK, OK! Look, this could go on and on, and I'm sure we both have better things to do.



BUT... my first post was to give my opinion to ALL the posters here, who took time to post comments themselves, as I presume we're all here for the same reason. You are, in fact, the one who engaged me (a complete stranger) in a debate over YOUR personal opinion on both my opinion and the logo itself - the latter being fine with me!!! And since you've certainly embraced me by putting me in my place, I won't comment on your use of the word 'verbal'... even though we're typing... couldn't resist!



Look, I'm just passionate about my work... and my PS3, along with all the lovely logos Sony comes up with, for that matter.



Well, this has been an interesting debate noshoes84, and the irony is, I don't like the logo anymore. All this has put me off it lol! God, if they actually use this, you will always pop into my head... damn!



Peace!
