The GT Logo?

[Midnight Snacks]

Love that its actually an exclusive to the ps3 as thats where it started..... Unlike gta or need for speed...

I'm pretty sure there were GT games on consoles besides the PS3.

 

[ChicoMaloXD]

To me it looks like a checkered flag

And it has curves like a racetrack.

How about the it's just a G and a T theory?

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

I wonder if I can get a very clean black and white GT logo for my iPhone background.

Genius! 💡

Damn, why didn't I think of that?

There's a hidden cat in the GT logo:

Hahahaah

As a graphic designer I have to say I think the logo is excellent. It looks like a race track logo and a car emblem while also simply being a G and a T to represent the series name "Gran Turismo" obviously lol. Even the original logo being red and blue to give it that extra racing team appearance was clever. On my wheel it is in silver and looks exactly like a logo you would find on a real cars steering wheel. Good job PD (or whichever design studio that actual made it)

I'm just glad they didn't incorperate a number into it.

Otherwise they could have ended up like the Forza 4 logo, which actually says Forza III 4 lol.

It actually just says "Forza Motorsport 4" beneath an "FM" logo. Sure, the stylized "M" also served as a Roman numeral "III" for FM3, but at the same time as the "M". Now it's just simply the "M". It may remain like that from here on out, as that logo is the best-looking that they've yet had for the franchise. I don't recall any interesting "FM" logo for FM2, and they sort of had one for the original but it was a really lame "FM" logo.

They really needed a good "FM" logo that's stylized and recognizable like the GT logo, and now they have one.

This is exactly what I was going to say. The curve of the G is a from a race track and the T is supposed to resemble a checkered flag. The metal color scheme is like that of a car's surface. The opposing blue and red color symbolizes competition. /thread.

This will be the definitive FMS logo!

Is this true? If so, i didn't recognize it, and that means the logo is a really good design.

Since the beginning, I have always thought of it as a racing helmet. Anyone see it?

 

[PureLogic]

I'm more intrigued by the choice of colors. Why blue and red? Could've been brown and orange you know

 

[CSLACR]

sorry if this has been asked before but is there a hidden image or meaning to the GT logo? every time i look at it it seems to me that there is more than meets the eye. there is almost a lower case d in there but i dont know.

I know this isn't the interesting response, but I think it's a type font, and perhaps you need sleep.

Akira you are a genius! Best post of the year

Sorry for being redundant... I meant im just glad the gran turismo franchise has been exclusively sold to the playstation series

I can't think of the GT logo without thinking there's a cat there.

There's a hidden cat in the GT logo:

Very subtle

Ha, thats meow turismo. Where you race cats. But there could be something hidden in the gt logo.

To me, red and blue are the ultimate versus colours. Like Liverpool vs Everton.
Also, the Mercedes SLS's in the GT5 advert on the Playstation website are red and blue.

I cannot unsee the Meow Turismo!

Maybe it could shed a light to the matter:
In repsonse to requests for generalized color symbolism, here is a brief list with credit to Jasc Software/PSP Newsletter Yellow - In the Far East, a sacred colo but it the West it can mean treachery. Red - Passion; gets the blood flowing more intensely. Orange - Represents knowledge and civilization. Violet - Stately and roya Blue - Cool, passive, and also symboli fidelity (as in true blue) Green - Restful and fresh White - Purity and truth Black - Gloom, sorrow and depresssion.
I found it randomly... Can not quote the site.

It's remained virtually unchanged, too.

It did change a bit in the North American version of GT2:

The "G" was offset higher and was slightly behind the "T"

GT3 and later all reverted back exclusively to the original logo, and I think even the PAL and JP versions of GT2 used the original as well.

Disgusting!

Yeah, the US GT2 boxart is horrible.

👍

It may even be the Deep Forest monkey!

Oh my god you have seen the monkey too. When I saw it in photo shoot I thought I had to go to the optician.

On topic, I like the GT logo. It looks classy and captures the essence of racing.
