   I think the Y is a dead giveaway. I possibly the one on spidey is just a little wider.

   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.

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

    Aye, it’s a bit old, but again shows that Sony has some of the worst and laziest designers around (next to Porsche).

    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.

    I believe it is subliminal marketing.

    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.

    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 ;)

    The *panel* is crazy slow right now.

    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).

    THE PANEL IS DOWN !!!

    I’m trying to setup a client who just purchased an account this morning.

    Man, this makes me look bad.
