Sony Playstation 1 Logo Design Ideas and Concepts

I know the Sony Playstation 1 Logo Design Ideas and Concepts isn’t exactly breaking news, as it’s been floating around for a while, but it’s always nice to get a refresher.

I came across it again by accident the other, and I do like looking at all unused concepts for any branding project, then comparing them to the chosen one.

As a freelance logo designer, it’s generally always heartening to see another designers/studios early logo concepts, as they are rarely works-of-art when compared to the final logo design.

Some of these early Sony Playstation 1 designs are interesting to say the least, but the whole process of exploring these early ideas generally leads you to potential fame and glory.
