I entered the 99designs contest which these are from and now it’s been shortlisted to 8 designs in a poll which are simply not “PlayStation”; they don’t fit, they don’t work; and many are just plain awful, .

My design may not be the most original in its aesthetic as it’s a modified vector of the PS Vita logo, but it fits, it works, it does the job it needs to do and its raw silhouette form it still works without all the fancy backgrounds, gradients, drop shadows, colours and stuff the others need…

Mine also fits in with a unified brand identity which I feel is very important…

I don’t know whether Sony are likely to use ‘PS4’ as four is an unlucky number in Japan as its pronunciation ‘shi’ is the same as death.

With PlayStation Vita they took a new approach…Vita means “life” in Latin. With my design for the ‘PS4’ I’m going for ‘PlayStation Vivo’, Vivo in Latin means “live”.

The “iv” in “Vivo” if softly highlighted in the branding could subtly hint at it as the fourth PlayStation home console without saying it outright.

only picture 5 looks best, rest of them felt like inspiration from other famous logos.
second picture is actually nice but feels old, feels like PS2 but next gen.

Is it me, or do most of these look like TV station logos instead of game console ones?
