Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

Who the hell is Dan? Danchastu?

I hate him too.

Anyways, the reason I brought up the PSP logo is that you called other logos "low budget", but of course, as you often do, failed to mention PSP and PS2. If they are still using the PSX logo, isn't that being even "lower" budget, by recycling it?

But I digress. This is starting to sound like PS bashing, which it is not, nor is this Kyuzo bashing. I have a lot of respect for all three of Sony's systems, and for their little Asian supporter here at the GT forums. I do believe that the PS2 writing is the logo for the system, as is the PSP writing, and the little logo Kyuzo posted is a logo for the PlayStation brand, much like the oval is Nintendo's logo (which I don't understand why Kyuzo made a fuss over) represents the company, not the system. Sony and Microsoft's logos are equally as simple.

As far as my favourite logo goes, I think the GameCube logo is quite ingenius... the cube, the G, and the C all in one works nicely, but I think the Atari logo is my favourite because it is beautiful in its simplicity.

the 64 will always be my favorite logo

Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

I was only saying that the new 360 logo sucks, and that the shiny X for the Xbox was a lot better. The new 360 logo looks low budget and so does the dreamcast logo.... a swirl.

I didn't mention others, because I was only commenting on those consoles, i'm not obligated to opinionate on all consoles if commenting on one...

I never said the Playstation 1, 2, or Portable's logos weren't low budget. I just didn't feel like mentioning them cuz I was only talking about the Xbox's in my opinion. Your reply to my initial thread seemed aggressive so I attacked Nintendo's logo... but whatever... sorry if I sounded intentive.

Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

I like the swirls better then the poping out X.

i think logos are best when they're simple, yet stylish. i HATE the N64 logo, looks blocky and boring, reminds me too much of the n64 graphics. I think the GC logo was great, simple yet very very creative. and i've always loved the normal PS logo. dreamcast was also great.

Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

Simple logos are good. They get people recognizing it right away when they see that special swirl, or those low budget PS"X" (X = 1, 2, P, X, 3, etc.). I think the Xbox 360 logo has got that same simplistic idea, but like others have said, the name is kind of contradictory. It should just be the Microsoft 360 maybe, or the XspherE 360.

Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

If 360 has anything to do with the bits, then the name should not be debated (unless you think slapping a number on a name is boring). The same was done with the Nintendo 64.

But... 360 isn't a degree of 2, so I don't know.


I guess the next step in the "360" debate is to see whether or not Nintendo's pet gets rejected if it's not a circle/sphere, given that it was named the "Revolution."

360, as well Revolution, have several meanings.

And yes, adding numbers to a console name is crappy and lacks innovation.

Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

Question to Straylight: Adding numbers to a console name is terms of what... Numbers randomly or in terms of bits?

I like the simplistic sequential order of the Playstation console naming. Nothing too bizarre and no one can really complain about a stupid name.

Who would buy the Sony Xenovector Crystallus? See Xbox 360 number thing is cheesy but N64 sounds fine. I would've liked Xbox Xenon a lot better.

Basically I like the sequential order, cuz it gives the apparent impression that that console is better then the predecessor... PS1... to PS2.. to PS3. The name Playstation has become a franchise anyway so i don't see Sony resorting to catchy and complex names any time soon.

Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

N64 sounds better because it's shorter. Just 1 letter and 2 numbers. PS2 is also short enough. Dreamcast, Sega Saturn/Megadrive, GameCube, Xbox.... all short names. :)

Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

Well My complaint isn't long names, it's like complex names like they are trying to name a space station...

Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

Short/simple/youknowwhatImean :p

Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

Yeah, the name sounds clunky because even though it's short, it has a lot of syllables... X-BOX-THREE-SIX-TY. I guess you could argue that it's the same as NIN-TEN-DO-GAME-CUBE, but you can leave out the Nintendo, or hell, even the game. Calling a system "360" seems weird and unnatural. Sony got it right by having the P-S-2 as something quick and easy to say, and "cube" works fine for Nintendo.

I really think the name is weird... I can understand why they kept the XBox in the name, for the same reason Sony kept the Playstation and Nintendo kept the Gameboy name (although they left it out for the DS... for the "third pillar" i guess), but it just sounds really cluttered. The logo as well.

Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

Wasn't the N64 blurry? The PSX was blocky as hell!

I preferred blocky, then at times, I liked blurry.

Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

i couldnt stand either PSx or N64 graphics. and the only time i've played any of my n64 games in the past 4 years is in emulator form, which takes out the blurryness, and makes everything sharp and smooth as hell. so it looks blocky :p lol

Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

The PSX was also a 32 bit system.

Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO
 

I preferred blury, most definatly. I hated the PS1 graphics.

And I like the Logo. It's simple, yet cool. And it will be neat if they put it on top of the 360, and have it engraved there, and very shiny neon green.

It would be even cooler if it light up! Or had liquid that filled up when you turned it on!
