What are your opinions on the PS3 logo? It started out with the spiderman lettering of Playstation 3 which I really didn't mind. I think it looked great on the console and when it popped up before the game starts but ever since the slim they are going with the weird looking PS3 logo. I personally don't really like at all and the recent update removed the old Playstation 3 that popped up before the game starts. I know I'm being picky but I just missed the old one.

The PlayStation 3 (often abbreviated PS3) is the third home video game console created and released by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
The PS3 logo.
" @Afroman269 said:Ya that's what I missed the most. The fact that now it just fades to black leaves me empty inside." Anyone miss the old spiderman lettering one then? "i do. i actually really miss the "Playstation 3" that appeared when you started up a game along with that chime. it really gives me a good feeling "
What the hell was that? So the PS9 is a portal into some Tron like world without the lines."
This came out a couple years ago...it basically entrenched that logo in my head. So I'm find with it. "
What in the fuck? You just blew my mind!"

Anyway, I personally love the spiderman font.
@Afroman269:
ewww, I just turned on the volume. This isn't the music/noise that going on when I saw it, I'm sure its somewhere on youtube . . . actually, look at the metacafe result when you google ps9 commercial.
But yea, I dig the logo. I want to say this aired during the world series or superbowl years back . . . thats basically the only time I watch tv...
I also didn't understand why people had a problem with "the Spider-Man font". (maybe because I newer though about it that way)
And I also miss the chime when starting a game. They said it's so that all the console function you start up are more equal, but some on, isn't the first and most important thing playing games?
But I'm fine with the new logo too. Reminds me of the PS2 logo and PS2 days, and I think that's exactly what they're trying to invoke. I think the logo will grow on me. I already like seeing it when I boot up my PS3.
I started a thread about this kind of thing and how they changed the box for new PS3 games.
Personally i hate the new logo, but was never a fan of the old one either. I prefer the old one though, seemed more bold and like, fuck yeah, you got a PLAYSTATION 3 bitch. Instead of, oh, heres a PS3.
I really don't know why people hated the Spider-Man font. It worked pretty well, if you ask me. I think the Slim font looks sleek, too.
I like the new logo.
Much more relevant to the Playstation brand.
Hated the Spiderman font. Seriously. Wish i could find a new logo'd, glossy top for my launch ps3.
" @dcpc10 said:Ya I got that feeling too. I don't like how it just says PS3 on the slim and it isn't even centered. I prefer seeing the whole thing Playstation 3 written across the whole top IMO.i agree, i felt that the slim writing looked "cheap" and it just doesn't look as good "" the spiderman logo text seemed much more appealing to me and had less of a ''cheap'' feeling that i get from the slim writing. Don't ask why, because i have no idea. "
