Xbox Series X Logo Seemingly Revealed

I like it. All Sony did was change a 4 to a 5, so it's not like either company is going out of their way to make super fancy logos.

Aside from that, makes sense to have a new and specific Series X logo, given the potential release of a Series S, and whatever subsequent consoles down the road that will follow.

But...why not have this on the actual console instead of the regular logo ?

Because this isn't replacing the Xbox orb symbol, and we still don't even know in what context this new lockup is going to be used.

Given that the console was already revealed with one logo, it seems likely that this is going to be an ancillary logo for contexts where the "regular" lockup isn't appropriate (such as a small symbol designating compatibility on the boxart banner).

People who are just smooshing this logo up against the Xbox orb/logotype are missing the point, IMO.

I'm interested about how they will brand the physical game packs - if there will be a series x and series s that can play the same games, how will the physical games show this? If Series S doesn't have disc drive, I assume just having Series X on the physical packs makes sense, but if series S does have a disc drive, I wonder how it will work.

The logo itself is pretty bland, but not bad.

Quick, someone bring out those Instagram like counters !!!

I'm not feeling it if this is the final design, though it may grow on me.

Classic Microsoft sticking with the DOS backslash \ instead of using the slash / like everyone else.

Do people really think this logo is as bad/confusing as this legendary misfire (which was retired/replaced)

I think this kind of messaging has to be as straight-forward as possible, it's the name of the console we're talking about, I'm not against updating logos, but if you do so you gotta do it all the way, look at the Switch, big ass logo both on the dock and the back of the console with NINTENDO SWITCH written in bold, it does have Nintendo's company logo but it's in a corner in the back, probably for legal purposes, having an official Series X logo not showcased on the device feels kinda weird, but again, maybe the design for the console isn't finalized, printing a logo on it should be the easiest thing

Looks like a brand... as in a brand you'd stamp on livestock.

Which makes sense for quick, easily distinguishing between multiple series of product.

I don't love or hate it, but it seems highly functional.

It does look very gamer-ish. Like the sort of logo you see on pc parts targeted at gamers. Which along with the box design, appears to be what they are going for

Looks fine and it works well for the tiny logo you stick at the bottom of trailers and commercials.

I came here thinking it's gonna be a typically modern boring, minimalist logo. Well, that's exactly what it is, because of course it is.

We're so starved for info that a logo is making the rounds...

It's fine. Boring but functional, like Insomniac re-design not long ago.

Which is why a few acting like it shat on their grandmother is a little weird.

The name is even worse than the logo.

The phonetic and "symbolic" appeal of the letter X has already been overused and only has an opposite effect at this point. Almost everything these days with "X" in the logo sounds like a caricature attempt to look futuristic.

Having a different tower design, they really missed the chance to link an original name to the prefix "XBOX".

Looks fine to me. Also, even if I hated it, it would not affect my purchase.

Logo looks great, but I'm in love with the Xbox Velocity Architecture logo in particular.
