Sony share the new PlayStation 5 logo at CES 2020

The PlayStation 5 Logo is derived from film noir, as the black background is a motif that there's nothing but darkness after life (what the thin white font represents) finally gives out.

It literally looks like some amateur photoshop, replacing the 4 with a 5.
This isn't great PR for Sony, this will get meme'd on and not in a good way.

Does the hard edge look odd to anybody else? I feel like it would look better slightly rounded like so.

The effort is barely worth it for them anyway. It's not like it will change the PS marketshare a lot whether Sony decide to do it or not. Also, if the latest SoC specs are true it kinda confirms that Sony once again went with hardware B/C route so I wouldn't expect any software emulator at all.
GOD DAMN right
first day purchase
Sonnnyyyyyyyyyyyy PS5(potentially my last console)
Thank you!
The typeface was designed for the PS3, with the "3" clearly designed alongside the rest of the letters, with all curves and no corners. Once they kept the typeface for the PS4 - and the "4" of the logo has nothing but corners and a low profile - the type falls apart. They should have redesigned the typeface to accommodate the edged "5" instead of retrofitting another number on an almost decade-old logo.
They're going to cancel the PS5 next week after they saw your post here.
Allow me to save y'all some time 5-10 years from now with the time-travelling future reveal... of the PS6 LOGO!!

Rofl..
Kinda like it wasn't good PR when all they did was change the 2 to a 3? And 3 to a 4? You think 4 to a 5 is any different? It's a logo that hundreds of millions know. It would be incredibly stupid of them to change it for no reason.
I mean, I'll assume you were joking and the joke flew over my head or something.

I wish they'd just use the PS logo plus a standalone five or whatever. The logo is so cool that it makes whatever's next to it look like shit.
We need to check if Sony has taken out a life insurance policy on the PS5.
The black background means it's gonna be a disappointment especially when MS is holding the golden key and Nintendo is holding the diamond key not to mention Gaben ushering in the golden age of gaming along with Geoff "D. Pope" Keighley. I smell doom and gloom and they'll probably sell off all of their businesses outside of insurance.
lol lets keep it going, PS7!Allow me to save y'all some time 5-10 years from now with the time-travelling future reveal... of the PS6 LOGO!!
WAit, do you think sony (a multimillion dolar company) just "retrofitted" another number on their most successful brand?
Thats not how it works.
lmao
People already losing their minds over a frickin' logo, imagine when they finally reveal the console...
The power that that has, the intelligence that that has, the clearance that that has, the impact that that has, the access that that has, the influence that that has, the profile that that has, the international implications that that has.
