I was just thinking the same thing, ok lets move things on. I personally think they could get away with just sticking a 3 in stead of a 2 on the PS2 logo.

fake or not, for me it's about stronger branding. as mentioned by others, they need to put some effort into a logo similar to PS2. i can't believe they took the easy out with all the opportunity there to blow minds with something exciting and different.

a 3 in front of PlayStation logo would have been just fine.. and the fake one looks cool enough.. too bad it was fake.. they have one year to fix it :)

old logo is many times better, in a totally different league; yeah it does make you wonder why they changed to this. I'm sure there must have been much internal arguement and discussion going on before the mistake happened.
The original logo and branding is perfect. It's visually pleasing, timeless, engrained in the minds of every gamer on the planet, etc. etc.
The new branding looks like a taco bell spiderman movie promo tie in special edition drink cup or something.
Not only is it ugly and campy, but it's a shame. I'm hoping that it's just a beta for preliminary images (possibly to help hype Spiderman 3) and the final will ship with the correct branding. Mistakes like these usually amount to who has the most power in the company, not necessairly the best taste.

Agreed, just stick a 3 in place of the two... if anything, play with the color scheme slightly. No reason to re-invent the wheel, and if they chose to, Im sure spider station would not be the result.
If you've been watching the trailers for PS3 games, you'll also notice how beautiful the game logos are. It will make the unit look even less class in comparison.

I think the new PS3 looks like a George Foreman grill designed by Bose.

more like 'gaystation!'
not that there's anything wrong with that?

the font blows. it looked fine in the credits but it's a slight varient of a font that's about 10 years old and was edgy(ish) then, just old now.

D-Dot is spot on.
u know foremans mouth will start watering when he sees one of these.

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet, but because the PS3 is convex and the Xbox360 is concave, they can spoon on your tv shelf perfectly.....
Coincidence?

Can't see the image but it's called spider-man-3-20050517053227570.j...

It's not gonna be the real logo...
They probably just rushed to make E3...just needed something on the box so that when it ended up inevitably in every paper in the world, people would know what it was instantly.
Feel sure they're not going to have their whole branding strategy fixed at this stage.
