360. the Wii is too toy-ish and the Playstation 3 one is literally Spiderman 3 font instead of saying Spiderman 3 it says Playstation 3. I think the new one is ugly too but not as bad as the old one.
@Aaox: hahaha, those endings looked awesome back then, but now they're just awesomely terrible. MK4LIFE (hohoho, see what i did there?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!)
I'm not really a huge fan of any of them. Not that I hate any of them, it's just that I've not looked at any of them and said "okay, that's just ace".
One thing is for sure, it's definitely not the Playstation 3 logo. Even though it looks the boldest with its white-on-black, it has that whole Spider-Man issue that I just can't get past. Plus it's not the prettiest font ever devised. It's going for that power console look, but just comes off a bit silly.
I like the typography for the 360, especially the elongated crossbar on the B. The other thing I like about that crossbar is the way they've truncated it on a 45° angle, to be sympathetic with the adjacent X. But after all that, I think the sphere is the weakest element. It's fine on its own, but the text and the image together are a bit disconnected for me.
The simple Wii logo has the non-threatening curves on the W, which is perfect for family friendly fun. Plus it has that 'ii' part making it appear like two people standing next to each other, so that's kinda clever. And I'm a big fan of non-serif fonts. But ultimately, it just seems a bit wishy-washy.
If I had to pick, I'd probably go with the 360. It actually looks better to me when it's moving, like in a TV ad.
Yeah it was classy. I'm kind of bummed they decided to change it up with the slim and the new game cases. Who gives a fuck if it's the Spiderman logo as long as its badass?
Unlike the first three, both of these logos are very satisfying to me. I've always enjoyed the PS2 logo, and the fact that they reused it for the PSP is no bad thing. And the DS one uses the O to double up as a cool geometric element. Good stuff.
It has a sort of....hideousness to it, but its amazing retro will have it hold as one of my favourites. Seriously it looks like the opening title to some sci-fi channel original movie.

Your argument about the Playstation 3 logo is void because the new one is this:
@Sir_Ragnarok: same here, hahaha. me and a friend were having a strange discussion on outdated CGI and well, where else to look than MK4? the sub zero ending is the best though.

I like this new one, huge improvement but the older "Spider-man" one was horrible, I still can't believe they went with that. Not much a fan of the classic Playstation "PS" logo either, so I'll go with the 360.

I think it looks cheesy imho. "
Its why I like it, theres far too little cheese in The Abyss.
@FluxWaveZ: Heh, my argument isn't void because I was talking about a particular logo. I do, however, like the new one. As with the PSP logo, it harks back to the PS2 design and I really like that look.
I used to love the N64 logo. Looking at it now, though, it totally feels dated to me. It's quite gaudy and very much a logo of its time, both in the grand scheme of things and what Nintendo was doing. It's still portraying Nintendo as a kid's toy, as opposed to an all-inclusive family console. Things that still work for it are the fact that the four yellow panels echo the four yellow buttons of the controller, and the Escher-esque quality. Still a clever design, but not rocking my socks off anymore.

Yeah, the white glow and chrome effect make me think of somebody who's just discovered the joys of Photoshop.
