I haven't heard anything on the subject lately, but has there been any word that the Spiderman font used for the Playstation 3 logo will change? Seriously wtf...

The final Playstation logo will use the Wingdings font.

I feel so dirty for typing that.

URNotE was my handle for awhile in my darker days. Everyone just assumed it was an abbreviation for "you are naughty".

Someone with photoshop skills make a PS3 with the 'PS3' in the same font as the lettering on the side of the PS2, please.

Can someone post a picture of the original font already clone-brushed out. I'd like to mess around with it but am to lazy to bother with the first step. :D

honestly i want a logo on there. f*ck spelling out "playstation 3." a badass logo has so much more gravity than spelling that shit out. meh. mmmmeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh.

Xbox360 is neither a box, an X, nor a circle, so what is your point exactly.

Ehh... can't say I like it. It doesn't look quite right with the console's lines.

Made a quick blank, here, if anyone wants it.

Yep doesn't look anywhere near as good as the Spidey font.

The change in font is most likely a rebranding/repositioning exercise that almost every product/brand goes through at some point.

Playstation, according to KK, is now more than just a games console so a good time to change the branding to reflect that and distance it from its previous incarnations.

Do you snicker a little to yourself when you have music "playing" in the background?

its not a matter of music or sports or whatever. its the device grouping of where the word is being used. Sony keeps saying its a computer, its Blu Ray, its gaming, its beyond HD beyond just a games console. Playstation denotes GAMES. GAMEcube denoted GAMES xBOX was a BOX that sat in your livingroom to play GAMES. Since day one sony has been pushing this to be something thats more than games and now the pricetag just amplifies that. The name just doesnt fit anymore IMO. brand recogition or not.

Meh, I'm thinking smooth black surface.
And a small "PS3" logo (PS2 style) on the side there, so right of the chrome strip.
That'd look a tad better maybe.
