Official Xbox 360 LOGO

Pretty sure this is full of creativity and insight. I mean, its block letters surrounded by an oval. Thats high budget right there.

What about Atari? 3 lines. Thats pretty cheap.

That Nintendo logo is for the company, not the consoles.

And this is Microsoft's company logo, which is similar to Nintendo's so...

Ok then, well I guess the NES had no logo. So thats as cheap as you can get.

On a side note, which console do you think had the best logo?

Something like this that appeared on every NES game box would've been the logo. It's not much though, so I guess you could omit it as a logo.

Let's get one thing straight... this is the universal Playstation logo:

It's on the PSX, the PS2, PSone and PSP and all of it's controllers regardless of which generation. The way PS2 and the PSP is written is in that font.....that's not the logo.

I dunno why it's different here, but in Japan all commercials for PS2 products still have the same sound, with the said logo. and not the purple PS2 written out.

But i'm sure your right Dan...the PSP has to be the lowest budget logo I mean /sarcasm

I'm glad Typhoid posted the Nintendo 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

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.

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.

Blackmane · 04-25-2005, 01:09 PM

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.

Stray_Bullet · 04-25-2005, 01:34 PM

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.

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

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

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

lol

Vampyr · 04-26-2005, 04:36 PM

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!
