Thanks for the blank Jim.

What's funny is I didn't even notice it. Ken has said "praystation" so many times now it is just kind of normal.

 

[Wink]

Keep the font photoshops coming, we'll all decide which is the best one. Sony surely will take notice

Spoiler

lol

Why is the PlayStation logo being ditched anyway? The PS2 ditched it ,save for that thing on the disk drive..and now the PS3 does the same.

They should place a giant grey-colored PS-logo on the PS3

How about they just place a giant Etch A Sketch on the front of the PS3 which allows us to draw our own logo?

 

[EternalDarko]

Kutaragi likes it, and it will stay that way.

 

[Liquid]

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.

honestly this is the exact same thing i was thinking. when you think about japans PSX and even the PSP its almost as if sony dropped the "play" because these were devices that go way beyond the original "playstation"'s mission of a game machine. PS3 would fit into the PS family without totally confusing people. but its too late now.

I can't believe this is a multi-page thread...

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

That is SO sad.

I've gotten so used to the spiderman font, nothing else looks right.
It's like embeddded in my brain.

Spidey font ftw! :/

 

[Cdammen]

Why not this?

(EDIT) Beaten. Wow Bad_Boy, that was much nicer

 

[BocoDragon]

Wow guys.... I don't get it....

PlayStation 3 uses the same font as the Spiderman films.

SO.... WHAT.....??????

 

[Bad_Boy]

(EDIT) Beaten. Wow Bad_Boy, that was much nicer

heh not really, I couldnt get the bevel/gloss to look right, I think Jim did a better job at it.
But yeah, i suck at photoshop :/

 

[Vexidus]

I guess the spiderman font does fit the best, oddly enough

[SaggyMonkey]

That console clearly needs a photo of a gecko in a chair on it.

 

[ant1532]

Damn what have I done, there's some fugly stuff in here lol. But i declare this winner of all the photoshops.

ITS A FONT

 

[Stinkles]

The Spiderman font is great looking but it has two raging problems.


1. It will date quickly.
2. It is Sony entertainment saying, "HAY GUYS MOVIES AND MUSIC ARE BETTER THAN GAMES" and bluntly, Sony entertainment lawyers can go suck an exhaust pipe.


But what this photoshop REALLY needs is the font that makes Comic Sans look classy., I refer of course, to "Shattered" come on graphic designers, you know you've got it.

 

[Confusion Illusion]

ITS A FONT

Yes, but these fellas here feel they need to make a big deal out of it.

 

[Mr. TV Goggles]

A version I whipped up just now:

That looks so much better.

 

[DSN2K]

get over it the font is not changing.

there more important things to bitch about like lack of info and price.

I like the look of this one.

the font size could be a bit bigger though.

[Stoney Mason]

That looks so much better.

That does indeed look better imo.

 

[Sweedishrodeo]

now that is a brand statement if i ever saw one. logo of the year even.

 

[antiloop]

IMO it wouldn't be PS3 without the spiderman font.

 

[thorns]

i would think something subtler....

 

[davepoobond]

i would think something subtler....

that's the 499 model -- there's no chrome. the extra 100 is for the chrome alone.

 

[jjasper]

It might be because I have seen in on there for over a year now but the spiderman font just looks the most natural and seems to go with the console perfectly.

 

[KINGMOKU]

 

[X26]

using the spidey font is a good move, although yea it doesn't look too good on the machine (which also doesn't look all that great)

 

[Vaandaviii]

:lol ok ok ok! but its not a sporting device!

Try to go upstairs with a pair of PS3s hanging on your shoulders.

 

[Cheesemeister]

Perhaps something a little more subtle...

/bad joke

 

[cheekymunky]

So someone seriously explain what would look better on the top of the PS3 than that font.
I am not very smart and/or imaginative.



ps. I didnt even know it was "Spiderman" font I read it here.

 

[Forceatowulf]

I also am not a huge fan of the spidy font but it still looks better then the designs you guys are making...

What this thread has become is people complaining about a crappy font and then making fonts that just do not fit well with the console design. The spidy font just seems to fit a lot better then anyones design in this thread.

I don't believe sony made the best choice for the font, but at the moment it seems like they may have made the right choice seeing as no one can really top it.

 

[Jive Turkey]

had to be done.

I know this was meant as a joke but that looks pretty good.

Dude, if it was our JOB to do it I think we can top it pretty easily.

And no one here is not really complaining, just saying we don't like it and making some fun photoshops.

Fair enough.

Although they may not top it there are some good ones in here I must admit.

HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[G-Fex]

spiderm-an font sucks.

 

[Reilly]

after seeing everyone's designs, I'm starting to like the spiderman font.

 

[artist]

Me likes. But the spiderman font is not a deal breaker for me, that'd be ridiculous. :lol

 

[Polari]

It's mystifying since Sony usually have decent taste when it comes to these sort of things.

 

[SaggyMonkey]

Yup, you see that right there is hot logo sex.

 

[Confusion Illusion]

Does it really matter that they are using the Spider-Man font? I mean movies was produce by Sony's own studios.......maybe they like to share resources.
