Comparing 4 playsation logos

 

These images above are the PlayStation logos that have been used through its creation. The logo at the top is the logo used for the PlayStation 2. The second console to release from the brand. The design is what i would say is very unique. I belive this is mostly to come from the font, the colour of the text has no real effect on my opinion of the design. However comparing the design to others. This is the design that stands out to me. All of the other designs share at least some resemblance to the other designs. 

The next design is the classic PlayStation branding this was the logo used for the original PlayStation one. The actual logo does a lot to grab the eye with the colours being vibrant. However again the text is quite similar to the more recent designs. But I believe that this logo is absolutely the most iconic logo. And I’m sure this design had an effect on how popular and how well the original PlayStation sold. 

The 3rd design is the PlayStation 3 design. This one I would have to say is the weakest of the designs. I do not think I would be alone in this idea. Strangely the logo shares the same font as the spider man 3 film. While a very original font and quite a strange looking font. It definitely still grabs my attention but for all the wrong reasons. Now every time I see the font the only thing I think of is why this has the same font as a mediocre film from the late 2000s. 

The 4th design I would say is the safest bet. It does not attempt to take any real adventurous leaps with its design. However it is a very solid design. The logo is simple, the PlayStation logo white on a black background really pops out for lack of better description. It catches the eye, but not in a way that distracts the audience from the text. It is clear to see what brand it is. 

In conclusion I would say that all of these logos have their own positives and negatives. However all of them have unique features that I can honestly say must’ve affected the sales heavily. Especially in the earlier years such as the PlayStation  one and PlayStation twos logos.
