I Just Noticed Something…

vs.

Either Sony (who made both) is trying to siphon some of Peter Parker’s bad-assed-ness over to the PS3, or somebody paid too much for that font and is trying to get their money’s worth!

Nice catch! They’re definitely identical…
March 20th, 2007 at 3:23 pm
Come one there are different! ;-p

You only just noticed that?
March 20th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
I think the Y is a dead giveaway. I possibly the one on spidey is just a little wider.
March 20th, 2007 at 3:58 pm
You aren’t the only one to notice that. I noticed a while ago and yeah, the Y is a little different. I just recon they are cross promoting them.
Or maybe it will become the official sony font to be used on everything. Either way I’m still boycotting them.

Yeah, you’re a little late to the game; people noticed this immediately after the first PS3 logos appeared on the internet, over a year ago.

What a coincidence! I won’t be buying either one!

The Y kinda looks like an upside version of the finger their customer service people are so adept at using.

if it looks nice on both of them … why not ? :D

Aye, it’s a bit old, but again shows that Sony has some of the worst and laziest designers around (next to Porsche).
March 21st, 2007 at 8:29 am
yeah, pretty old

the font is very similar to one (or is) called ‘1979′ btw and can be downloaded from the fantastic dafont site

When I first saw the “trailer” (in movie theatres, nonetheless!) for the PS3 (with the people standing on their roofs), I thought for sure it was for Spidey 3, based on the font.

DreamHost
It looks like SlideShowPro.net and WhatDoIKnow.org have been hacked.
I’m pretty sure these are DreamHost hosted web sites.
You might want to give Todd Dominey a hand in fixing this problem.

lol, I noticed that like 20 years ago, :)
March 22nd, 2007 at 12:58 am
Anyway, that’s really funny no matter whenever you’ve noticed it! :)
March 22nd, 2007 at 3:04 am
I believe it is subliminal marketing.
March 22nd, 2007 at 5:00 pm
Umm.. i knew about that since i first saw the logo… took ya awhile!
March 23rd, 2007 at 4:01 am
SYNERGY!! :)
Good catch.
March 24th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Just goes to show how kinda un-original they are getting – PlayStation 3 – and they don’t even come up with a unique logo for it!
At least the Wii has tried to do something different instead of just upping the graphics and the price and leaving us with the same sort of games.

I noticed that back in November when my friend bought one. I was like, huh, the SPiderman font.
March 25th, 2007 at 6:26 am
Wow, not noticed that before!
I’d say they’re getting their money’s worth out of the font, or they have a very uncreative design department ;)
March 25th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
[...] Imagem gráfica da PS3 muito parecida com a do Spider-Man 3 A fonte é a mesma. [...]

The *panel* is crazy slow right now.
March 26th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
I know this isn’t the place to report issues with our websites or with the panel, but mysql isn’t working, and neither is the panel, so i have no way of reporting the outage(s).
March 26th, 2007 at 1:21 pm
THE PANEL IS DOWN !!!
I’m trying to setup a client who just purchased an account this morning.
Man, this makes me look bad.

Amazing you noticed the logos, yet yet failed to catch terrorists scumbags using your web host.
