I like it! :)
Looks better than the PS4 logo, because the 4 didn't match the P and S as well as the 5 now does.

Agreed, I like that the PS5 logo also has less spacing between the letters.

When a logo reveal is more popular then a console reveal

What is 3D Audio sound ?
Isn't it just surround sound, I mean we have always been able to listen to footsteps one floor above us in games. (RE2)
360 Audio by Sony is the alternative to Dolby Atmos, so it's their middle ware to surround sound. Some streaming services like Tidal already use it and it's nice. Hopefully, Sony will use their ray tracing features for that and we get games like this.

(i def think everything sony does will continue to get more attention out of the gate but i also think everyone knows much better ways to measure that, lol)

My god this doom and gloom. When Sony starts talking PS5 in februari/march and the marketing machine starts rolling it will be like 8-9 months of them doing anything they can to push the new console. By the end we'll be sick of it and just want the machine. It's january ffs.

It's like watching a striptease in ultra slow motion, when they finally reveal the looks, price and everything I'll have to sleep for three days straight, whew.

Nice logo.

I can understand wanting a continuation from the super successful PS4, but some of the fan efforts for the logo have been amazing. My favourite being the 'P5'. (The PS logo but with the 'S' swapped out for a 5.)

The PS4 pro has that too, no?

Guess the news here is they haven't dropped it for the physical fans? Idk.

No, Pro doesn't have a UHD Blu-ray drive. And when you see how these discs sell, it wasn't a bad decision at all. I wish they would sell like DVDs, but these days are over;(

Why not? Instagram is probably the most popular social medium at this moment, definitely for the age demographic.
and it's also much more personality based than most platforms. the_playstationguy's likes would probably give a more accurate picture. (made up influencer name)

again, it would tell the same story, yes.

doesn't mean the original example was good. and it was intentionally not so.

Like: the PS icon is and will always be perfect
Dislike: the font used for the PS5 text, use the original PS1 PlayStation font you cowards, work that nostalgia, and give med the PS1 intro sound on boot-up

It's OK, the big three have pretty nice iconography at the moment - Xbox globe, PS icon, and Switch controller mirror. I just wish they'd push each systems unique features into icons instead of relying on the ancient brandings, like Ninty does. But yeah why take risks when you already have an established brand.

I love that "Ultra HD bluray" is a bulletpoint on a slide at CES 2020.

Something Xbox One S has had since 2016.

I think Sony is bullet-pointing it more as the games medium than for the movie playback. Something that is indeed new in the next generation.

In any case, given that it was conspicuous by its absence in the Pro, if Sony did not specify it, no doubt there'd be a lot of concern out there about it.

It's been fun to see fan mock ups in recent months that could never get the 5 looking right.

I mean, the PS4 was announced in February 2013 but the console wasn't revealed until e3 of that year, was Sonya arrogant back then as well? Why are some so impatient?

I'm not raging angry but I did come off that way oops lol. I think it's the long period of relative silence and no shows at industry events. I got hyped up for a blow the lid off thing for PS5 and it's been more of a slow trickle. But yea I am impatient. I'm ready for next gen and really ready for details :)

Honestly this is more PS5 news than I was expecting to come out of CES.

Can we now just get the date for the PS Meeting already, so we can move on?

They should've showed the console at least. Unless the top management decided to send the designers back to the drawing board after the Xbox Series X reveal.

I mean the PS5 is releasing this year, after all. Holiday 2020 isn't so far away.

don't really pay much attention to console logo/fonts, as long as it isn't loud, in your face, atrocious then its fine.

Wow. In six hours.

Also, is Xbox genuinely going to use the 'power your dreams' tagline? I thought that was some cheesy-ass slogan someone like Klobrille thought up. It's terrible. Why don't they double down on 'jump in'.

Dude, this wasn't their 'reveal' or any news at all. The PS5 will have it's own dedicated event, likely in February. People need to chill.

Just curious - what unique features of PS/Xbox would translate well into icons?
I don't know. PS4's touch pad? Xbox One's... all outta ideas hehehe

Like stated in my previous post, the PS and Xbox icons are perfect as is. It's just want a new, a unique icon for each system gen, because it's fun. Xbox 360 had skeuomorphism with its silver globe, that stood out from the current one which is a silhouette of that version, PS icon is a monochromatic version of the beautiful classic.

But they won't go crazy with the designs because they've put so much money into establishing the brands already. The hardware is just a PC with a controller nowadays, nothing unique about them at all, so it all makes sense. Neither wants to "rock the boat", and the consumers seem fine with that. Like I said, I'm just greedy and want something more, something new.

I've been perusing too many icon and logo design books from the 70's.
