A recent approval by the USPTO illustrates the basic outline of the logo which will brand the PS3 console. The end result is not surprising.
Way back in December of 1999, Sony’s Japan office submitted the upcoming PS3 logo for approval. Now, over four years later, the United States Patent and Trademark Office approved the design which was submitted. According to the “mark” generated by the TARR system on this page (http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=75873517&action=Request+Status), the PS3 logo will follow along the lines of its predecessors. The illustration shows the logo in blunt black and white form, so the colors of the logo which will be present in the final design is still under wraps.
Sorry to everyone who thought the logo would be new and vibrant, but it appears as though this design will see the PlayStation console through its third life. Perhaps Sony might want to try something new for the PS4? But, let’s not get started on that just yet.

Exciting...isn\'t it??
-
How original.
-
Didnt they get the rights to that right after ps2 launched?
Im not surprised.
See, we all know that 4 doesnt fit well with PS. I guess you could make it but if sony\'s 4th outing carries the name ps4, im going to be pissed. Maybe even PSIV (4) i could hadle but come on. Its always exciting to know less about a new console a few years before it comes out.
Maybe they want to make a ps dynasty:rolleyes:
w/e
-
right, someone copyright a "PS4" logo and not sell it to them so they have to put some effort into a new logo
-
Who cares about a stinking logo or the name of a machine?
-
its psychological, if the logo and the name didnt matter the name and the logo would be "Game thing 1", "Game thing 2" etc
-
More people than you think. Of course i wouldnt not buy something just because of that but it does have a fair effect on people.
to each his own.
Personally, if we got up to ps 9 id be more than a little sick of it. It doesnt feel as new when you name the next gen console basically the same name as the last.
meh
-
I Think sony will milk the general consumer with the playstation name untill people stop buying it.

Yeah...when I went to this link waiting for the page to load, I was so excited :eek: And then when it loaded I was like WTF? :stick: :( (https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmilies.jeeptalk.org%2Fcwm%2Fcwm%2Fangryfire.gif&hash=452d01f8ce69e7a32615ae2d2a531a569aad8491)
It said that the colors aren\'t confirmed, so maybe it\'ll look friggin cool. That\'s about the only thing we can look forward to concerning the logo, I guess.

No the only colors that we could possibly get excited about are the ones of the actuall console. You have very thin PS3 letters in the same PS2 shape and a new color. Any color wont look facinating enough to make up for the fact that its the same theme logo.
-
Yeah, I guess you\'re right. The Design better be damn good to make up for the un-creativeness of the logo...
-
I guess only \'hardcore\' gamers give a flying flip what the logo looks like because I sure don\'t

If the whole console was neon pink and had "Hello Kitty" on the front would you care? :D
-
dont pay him any mind. Hes just some gay little kid anyway. :p. jk
Personally i take his statement as a compliment but to each his own. I want to see some originality in all aspects.

Dreamcast Logo = stupid.
And if you think brand name recognition is unimportant, then you need to go sit with Sir Misstique.
-
I know brand recognition is important, that\'s of course why they want to keep the logo for the PS3 in line with their previous console. Now people, stop whining.
-
Actually I\'d be upset if the system after ps3 wasnt called ps4
-
I think that would pretty much be extremely irritating if it was called PS4. I think PS3 is fine, cuz it\'s still cool, but this really must end now. I\'m still VERY disappointed with Sony\'s lack of creativity. I hope they put more effort into making something for the design of the console that looks futuristic and is very small...not like the Xbox type bread truck crappola.
That\'d be awesome if they had some kind of neon blue lights on the console, like tube lining or something. And maybe like um...something NOT dumb like more than 2 controller ports :rolleyes: Hell, maybe even 8!! I hate multitaps, really. But anyway, yeah (yes I\'m a hardcore Sony/gaming fan...get over it you angry people).
I\'m just excited about this new generation. Makes me feel like a little kid at Christmas time again :D *taking a breath* I\'m done...bye
-
Yeah. Personally i loved the design of the ps2 when i saw it. Especially with the vertical stand and all. It looked crude in a way but ...sexy. I dont know. Hard to explain. Especially with the HDD on the side of it. It looked menacing and i liked that look. The xbox is just butt fugly, or as the xbox lovers say "its practical."
Im not trying to diss on the xbox. Really im just excited to see some concept designs from sony as well as some REAL screens. Its always refreshing. I cant wait to see whats going to happen in this next gen.
-
to all the fools complaining about the system\'s name, i guess you weren\'t around when sony announced the first playstation. they went over its plans and successors. the systems would be named playstation, playstation 2, 3, etc.
to complain now is just dumb.
-
They can still call it PS3 and then add some little name to it like they do with games, like the Mortal Kombat series. Just an idea.
-
Like PS3 THE RETURN or FOURTH PLACE or SONY STRIKES AGAIN? :p
-
I like the new logo....on the PS2. The font was cool when it was on the PS2. I just wished they put a little more effort into it. Eh, I\'m still gonna buy the console. I just hope they come up with a) an original logo and b) an original name for their next console.
-
The playstation logo is never going to change. At least not soon. And if what we are hearing is true, then the ps3 name and logo will hold for this gen.
Oh well. Maybe something new for the next gen
-
They are going to keep it the same for obvious reasons.They want to market the PS3 as a continuatioun of the Playstation series.Not as a different product.Keeping the same logo and characteristics show just that.Also keeps the value of the previous product.
