Microsofthas patented theXbox Series Xlogo, but it’s quite a big departure from previous designs.
Spotted onRedditbyWindows Central, an officialtrademark listingfor the Xbox Series X logo was filed on April 16, 2020, showing a very different look to what we’ve seen for Microsoft’s consoles to date.
The logo shows the word ‘Series’ in a vertical formation, next to a stylized ‘X’. It’s a more mature and minimalist design for Xbox, but it’s somewhat simplistic and – in our opinion – looks more suited to a sports brand.
However, this minimalist, futuristic approach is something we should probably expect from Microsoft when it comes to the Xbox Series X. After all, the console’s design is a radical departure from what we seen with the Xbox One, with the Series X sporting a gaming PC tower design.
AndSonyseems to be taking a similar approach with the PS5, suggesting these consoles are no longer playthings but masterful gaming machines.
Logos are a-changing
We can’t help but miss the Xbox One’s logo, though obviously a new generation means new branding.
According to the patent, this is the Xbox Series X logo we’ll see on everything from the console itself to clothing, keychains, toys and even kitchen utensils. Although, we think Microsoft is just trying to cover all bases and it’s unlikely we’ll see an Xbox Series X spatula anytime soon.
