PS2 Logo


I think the new logo looks kinda lazy.



It's like all they did was give it a tiny bevel and slap a diagonal gradient on it. It looks a little cartoony even. If they made the font themselves, I'll at least give them some props, but I doubt they did.


By comparison, here is one I made a long time ago.

I didn't want to say anything about it. the 2 is the worse part though, i thought the font was okay, but why not the original?

There is one big advantage in their logo over yours however: it is easily readable, it has contrast...

Ah well, the logo is the least of my worries ^_^

Mine wasn't meant for contrast. My point was that they didn't put a lot of effort into it.

Proof that this stuff takes very little effort.

You say that they didn't put a lot of effor into it, and give two examples of your attempts. I will have to disagree with you there and say they have clearly put a lot of effort into it, more so than you, because I prefer their's to both of yours. Sorry.

Simple doesn't always equate to lack of effort. I think the logo works well with the sort of clean sort of spacey orange/teal vibe they're going for. The 2 does look pretty strange, though. Someone needs to tell it to stop dragging it's feet.

Edit: Your rusty Planetside looks pretty damn good though, Reaver.

Complex logos were never very attractive to me except for perhaps Quakes.

I like it simplified.

"You say that they didn't put a lot of effor into it, and give two examples of your attempts."

Correct. Notice how I pumped out a similar quality logo in just a few minutes.


"I will have to disagree with you there and say they have clearly put a lot of effort into it, more so than you, because I prefer their's to both of yours. Sorry."

Your logic is terrible. Your preference of theirs does not prove they put much effort into it.

Here, let me clarify my point for you...


They could have done a better job.

Not always, but in this case I feel it does. They are making PS2 more grungy and war torn. Keeping the logo clean doesn't seem to fit what they are doing with the rest of the game. Even so, if they wanted a nice clean logo, that clearly had effort put into it, they should have gone back to the original one. It was simple and very unique looking.

Notice how I prefer theirs to yours, therefore your quick attempts are not of equal quality to theirs (in my opinion).


And my preference of theirs does not prove they put much effort into it no, just like your distaste for theirs doesn't prove that they put no effort into it.

I don't think the logo was designed the same way any conventional photoshop user like yourself would do it, I highly doubt they simply just plastered bevel, and gradient filters on it haha. I think the game looks somewhat cartoony itself so I see no problem with the font following that same appearance.

Of course they made the font themselves! It's not exactly hard to create shapes that form letters...

The font also loosely resembles that of the first game (original, before the re-imaging), which I think is a nice touch.
