When 6 . street fighter first published beforeIs yearsOne of the weirdest and most remarkable things about its unflattering trailer is the game’s logo. Like I said at the time, it looks a lot like a piece of clipart.
If you missed it, here it is 6 . street fighter logo as it was introduced in February is on the left, while on the right is a commercial clip from Adobe for $80.
Considering the series’ long and proud history with the badass logo, this was a huge disappointment! I mean, look at these kids!

So it was interesting to see today that, when the game reappeared with a trailer newthat idiot icon has been removed and swapped with something a bit slick.
It really doesn’t that difference. It preserves the first attempt’s hexagonal shape, along with its font, but turns things up a bit by turning that hexagon into “6″. One that in a little tip can be read in two ways, by flipping it on its side to reveal the roman numerals “VI”, harking back to the fact that every other sequel in the series up to this point has used use that convention (“Street Fighter II”“Street Fighter IV”et cetera):
Now is a Great Logos? No. But it’s not a disaster anymore, I think it’s interesting that they went and changed it so soon, and I think the flipped thing is neat enough to share!
