Official Xbox 360 LOGO

MuGen · 04-24-2005, 10:15 PM

I do.....

Does anybody else find it funny that the name itself is oxymoronic? Not just the logo.

360 degrees of motion is or 360 degrees of rotation.... usually thats what 360 is used for...But you can't achieve that kind of motion with a Box, as theirs a series of 90 degree angles...

And then, again... the logo with the circles for an xBOX......

EDIT: Really though... that's a dramatic step down from their shiny X logo...I mean, that has to be the 2nd lowest budget logo I've ever seen.... first being the dreamcast...

I don't think "budget" is the word you're looking for.

Besides, if this is the legitimate logo and the 360 becomes a success, then what else will you think of when you see a bunch of circles (which may or may not be circumscribed)? A simple yet recognizable design can go a long way to keeping consumers thinking of a product.

Also... a square has 360 degrees in it.

Thats an arguable fact, but considering the logo is circles... I don't think they were trying to get that point across...

That's just the logo for the developement kits. The logo for the console is the one Crash sports in his avatar. At least that's what insider sources are saying.

PSP is by FAR the "lowest budget" logo out there, and I'd even say PS2 before Dreamcast. PS2 is nice in its simplicity, so I'll give it that, but PSP is just the PSP logo with a P instead of a 2. There's no way you can say that's better than the dreamcast logo, which, though simple, was extremely effective.

I just plain don't like this logo. Not because it's "low budget", but because it is simply all over the place. I think they need to rework it. Color scheme is cool, but the circles need a stronger design to them.

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.
