| Console branding - opinions? |
| (1/3) > >> |
| Umbra:
So what I'm wondering here is this: I'm sure that, among those on the forum who do more of the graphic design side of things, there are some who have their opinions on how certain consoles have done their branding (logos, official templates, etc). If you have any opinions on how consoles have handled their aesthetic, what are they? Or, if you could change the template/branding of a console, what would you do? The idea for this topic came to me while I was reading people on neogaf ranting about the Xbox 360 rebrand from 2010. They seemed to think that the new design was less professional and detracted from the box art as a whole by being too bold. |

Personally, logo on the front, logo on the spine. Anything more than that is excessive. |

I'm not overly picky, I just hate when they change it during the life of the console. PS3 went through three designs and it drives me crazy. |

My personal pet peeve was how the Xbox 360 underwent that drastic rebranding in mid-2010 and went from the solid white bar to the super-artsy wave thing. It's okay but I personally liked the simplicity of the old style better. So I agree with the "don't change it halfway through" thing. --- Quote from: Blumpkin on June 03, 2015, 10:11:33 AM ---PS3 went through three designs and it drives me crazy. --- End quote --- Yeah aren't they blue now? |

I don't care what they do on the back and front, just don't change the spine midway through. Although saying that, being from the EU, I hat the EU ps1 and ps2 spines. Really boring, prefer the NTSC spines. Conversely, I don't like the NTSCU GameCube spines, as the location of the system logo is on the bottom rather than the top. My favourite gamecube cases are the NTSCJ small boxes, small logo. Dinky, and nice. |
