When street fighter 6 was first revealed earlier thIs yearone of the strangest and most notable things about its otherwise unremarkable trailer was the game’s logo. Which, as I said at the time, looked a lot like clipart.
If you missed it, here it is street fighter 6 Logo as shown in February on the left, while on the right is clipart commercially available from Adobe for $80.
Considering the series’ long and proud history of badass logos, this was a huge disappointment! I mean look at these babies!

So it was interesting to see that today when the game resurfaced with a new trailerthat cheap logo has been removed and replaced with something smoother.
It actually isn’t the different. It keeps the hexagonal shape of the first attempt along with its font, but changes things up slightly, turning that hexagon into a “6″. One of in a neat trick can be read two ways, by turning it on its side to reveal the Roman numerals “VI”, owing to the fact that every other sequel in the series up to that point had used this convention (“Street Fighter II”“Street Fighter IV”Etc):
Is it now a Great Logo? no But it’s not a disaster anymore, I find it interesting that they changed it so quickly and I thought the upside down thing would be neat enough to share!
