Web 2.0 is gradient and reflections. This is "friendly flat" (not to be confused with "hipster simple".)

Fucking everywhere.

"Why Xbox? Because! *insert Reggie-like marketing speak* "

Xbox..... why? *smug*

 

[Sn4ke_911]

No.

 

[Vexxan]

Microsoft really cutting of the leg that is gaming, huh?

 

[sacrificengineer]

Well, the logo is cute.

Maybe it's a tear drop for its fallen homie

well they already registered that domain in 2011...

 

[Storm Prelude]

Looks like bandages to me.

 

[BearPawB]

Looks like an excel icon

[keit4]

I like it.

BTW, the twitter account was created the 16th of this month.

 

[ekim]

So I've analzed the twitter account's profile picture and noticed it is not completely black - so I decided to alter the color curve:

White dots...

 

[Chittagong]

Yeah, uh, that default kerning.

* sigh *

 

[Plinko]

That logo is horrendous.

 

[Certinty]

The Ybox.

 

[Mogwai]

I just want to play it the old way!

 

[Chittagong]

Why can't any of these fakes ever be done by a professional, educated graphic designer, with basic working understanding of typography...?

 

[Coxy]

it's a y with a tear falling from it

 

[synce]

Xbox Infinity is heeeeeere

 

[eso76]

Seems to match Microsoft's new metro aesthetics and palette, but that's not saying much since it's very easy to come up with something in that style.

I think the logo is a little too rounded, though.
Gives a 'gamey' / 'toyish' feel that i would have thought Microsoft is trying to avoid.

 

[Tobor]

Metro is such crap. Uggggggggly.

 

[FallbackPants]

Microsoft is all boxes now. I don't think that really fits with the design document that came out a month or so ago

 

[GraveRobberX]

A circumcised one at that!

 

[Joe]

I see an arm, a watch around the wrist, and then a hand giving me the middle finger.

 

[Kelas]

No way that's real. The logo is horrendous.

 

[D4Danger]

this is 100% real. I totally believe it.

 

[BowieZ]

Someone's trying the same route as that Surface graphic designer guy.

 

[derFeef]

Metro is such crap. Uggggggggly.

Where do you see Metro, lol.

 

[Americanmushroom]

Stupid question, shouldn't there be a copyright thingy next to the logo?

 

[Americanmushroom]

Cause they're working

 

[Aquamarine]

Not if it's a reveal at an internal event.

 

[D4Danger]

remember to update the op when you find the tumblr that goes with this about how smart this person is because they 'trolled' the internet

 

[HansKisaragi]

Xbox
Ybox
Zbox

Even if it is a troll, it's not hard to assume that Microsoft will go with a Web 2.0 / minimalistic approach for their next-gen branding.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the console was called "The New Xbox" or just simply "Xbox." It meshes perfectly with MS's current design philosophies.

 

[flyinpiranha]

Why are all these pictures such low quality and taken at weird angles.

I just tell myself that it's so secret and legit the person taking the picture has to hide the fact that they are doing it. And they are using Nokia 3650's.

 

[Dead Prince]

it's the new make video of SDTV.

 

[Ran rp]

y, Xbox, y!!!

 

[8bit]

The next Xbox is called Bob?

 

[venne]

Metro is such crap. Uggggggggly.

Needs more leather textures.

 

[Espada]

I hope that this is fake as hell. Good lord that logo is ugly and plain. It looks like a button.

 

[Alx]

You know it took me at least a minute to see this penis everyone was talking about and even then... not really. This must be like one of those ink blots.

I'm still looking for it... is it the "T" shape thing that could be interpreted as a (short) penis and (weirdly positioned) balls ? Or the cut leg from the X that would be the tip of a penis ?

I still hate that shade of green but sure, why not?

Now that you mention it, I think that the color palette for the 720 will probably be green AND purple, if they really include kinect(2) in all boxes. They did a rather good job attaching the purple color to the concept of "compatible with kinect".

 

[slider]

I still hate that shade of green but sure, why not?

Now I'm going to try to see whether there's enough in that screen to reveal whether there really is a dual apu in Durango. Early indications aren't good I'm afraid.

Clearly I've counted all of the pixels in the picture and concluded that the next xbox will indeed be more powerful. pssh, rookie.

More serious note, I could see Microsoft changing the logo like this if rumors of them naming it just "Xbox" are true. A logo change would help differentiate between the old box for consumers.

 

[oVerde]

Hopping it's true because a thing Next Xbox needs is such confirmation it'll exists.

 

[NemesisPrime]

Lol no.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Where do you see Metro, lol.

Metro is everywhere.
