chestnutz Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I noticed this on the new PS3 commercial the other day, it seems they've changed logos for the product (I may be wrong). Likely because of the price cut to $299 they've done.Old:New:Can be seen on the console here, edges are more rounded.Any one know anything? erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Edit- Ah nevermind, I didn't get what you were saying. But I really, really like the look of that logo. thanks to crkraider22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasatch Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yes, finally, they did away with the Spider-Man font! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 The first image is the Spiderman font logo, the second looks like just a photoshopped version of the PS2 logo. The one that Dodger posted is the new one. I noticed it on a commercial the other day as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cola Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 That lower logo looks like the old PS2 original logo...just modified.However, there IS a new logo for the new slim PS3s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 That lower logo looks like the old PS2 original logo...just modified.That was the point of the initial logo, prior to having anything made.However, not the one that was the reason for this thread.However, there IS a new logo for the new slim PS3s.

chestnutz Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yeah, the "PS2" one is not the reason for me making the thread, just showing one that they've used in the past. The one in the link is the new one (Dodger gave a screenshot of it). erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEWJ Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 The new logo also showed up on my PS3 with the new software update.It replaces the former logo, right when it starts up. I like it. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarred Revolver Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I just got a PS3 "slim" today for my birthday, can't wait to play it! New logo looks good on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDX Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Like the new logo, about time they developed a proper one. the Spiderman font summed up perfectly for me that Sony were caught out by the early launch of the 360 and as such had to rush out the PS3 meaning no time to develop a proper logo and just used a font from one of their films.

Wheelhouse Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 A good article explaining why they made the switch. "Purists will bitch and whine, but so what? Purists will Always bitch and whine.

RETROJR79 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 The new logo also showed up on my PS3 with the new software update.It replaces the former logo, right when it starts up. I like it.When the new logo showed up on my PS3 I was glad. I also noticed that the Spiderman logo is completely gone when I played my MLB 09.

CS85 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 thank god, the spider-man font was always a point of embarrassment Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

MattMilone Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I think it should be mentioned: the Spiderman font is not the "Spiderman font," its actually a slightly modified Smashing Pumpkins 1979 font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OpaqueChicken Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 They changed the boxes also.Heres the first picture I have seen. I AM SCORE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelfourThibault Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I actually liked the old logo better, and I like the older box design better, as well.Not to mention, I really like my (old style) PS3 better than the new slims. I like the glossy design, and it does look a bit weird, but I think the newer style looks a bit cheap. Most people seem to like it, though.
