At least it doesn't look like it was made in photoshop, Sony.

Well that's boring. Graphic design sucks nowadays. People are so obsessed with being "clean" and "modern" that they leave out any form of flavor.

Faux-stencil lettering is so early 2000's, but I guess it's better than the faux-Apple superthin lettering that's been all the rage the last 5 years.
Frankly, I think it's about time for 1990's graphic design to make a comeback. That's the kind of imagery that demands you pay attention to it:

It’s neither better nor worse than the PS5 logo IMO. It’s just a simple X logo. I mean, that’s great but I don’t see how it “doesn’t look like it was made in photoshop”. Aren’t all the logos made in photoshop? Where else are they going to make them?
The PS5 logo looks fine. Why would Sony change it up for no reason? They don’t need to worry about it. They don’t have the slightly confusing models to deal with like series x and one x and one s and series s, etc. It’s PS4 and PS5. The logo doesn’t need to be more than a 5 to replace the 4. Easy enough. I’ve never understood why some were expecting something radical there.

PS5 is a replace of 4... which was a replace of Vita which was a replace of 3...
We have a continuity with sony which keeps the same font. But this continuity does not mark any generation jump / renewal. We keep something 15 years old.

Who cares, they leaked the entire console before the logo anyway lmao
What on earth kind of management is happening over there...
In chronological order:
>They publically announce all the specs
>They publically state why people shouldn't ask for specs
>They then publically show the entire console in all its physical form
>And finally thely "teaser" the logo
What on earth is going on ahahaha

You say this a lot but it still makes no sense what you're getting at.

This.
The logo here is supposed to represent a gaming console, which is supposed to be fun. Nothing fun about this logo, it could be the logo of a refrigerator.

Logo's matter otherwise there wouldn't be a whole graphic design industry tasked with coming up with them and being paid very well to do so. I think every generation should change it's logo, makes a statement. The Series X logo looks quite professional imo, very corporate in style.
I give it to Microsoft at least they did something different regardless of how it goes down. Sony took a mediocre font, have for some reason come to their own conclusion its iconic and slapped it on 2 and a half generations now.

Indeed. Plus, this logo was made for the console model itself; the Series X. The Series S will have a different letter which is the "S". The console itself will just be "Xbox". Think of it as a trim for a car.
Regardless of what the others say, the Series X logo does looks good, and screams different. Too bad Sony had to go with the same boring logo again. Although it suit the PS3 more than it does now, because it was made with it in mind at the time.)

The original PS3 logo/font was this,
But the mid cycle logo change to the wavy one was at least fresh for the time and kept moving things forward. Now it kinda feels dated being 11 years old, especially as its not particularly amazing or iconic.

Now THAT'S iconic!
Why Sony has lost their creativity, or at least style, to make logos like that afterwards we'll never know. I guess they think fans won't care all that much, thus the current logo we got.
Yeah I also really like that one. It seems a lot of creativity has gone out of most things these days, everyone tends to play it safe.
