Ahh the throws of the ending generation are upon us and we all eagerly await what is to come next! Every scrap of information is jumped upon and analyzed by every media outlet and content creator. And yes, I am no exception as today a new logo for the Xbox Series X has been unveiled and I can’t wait to talk about it! So the image above is the new trademarked logo. Take a good look at it, you get it cool, let’s dig in.

First off, I love how the word Series is displayed along the side of the logo, it feels very reminiscent of how Microsoft changed the cover designs of Xbox 360 and original Xbox titles in the Xbox One dashboard. I personally would have preferred the spelling to go down instead of up but that is just my special brand of nitpicking!

Now for the giant X, it takes a similar split approach that we have already seen on the Xbox One X. This time though, the white space between the intersection is much larger. The subtle change here really isn’t much but it does enough to distance itself from its predecessor while still feeling familiar. The placement of the X also makes it easy to swap out in case the rumored Xbox Series comes to light. Replace that X with an S and you are good to go with very minimal effort!

Honestly, there is a simple elegance to the logo that really speaks to me and it reusing familiar elements while still being different is fantastic. But I think I have rambled on long enough about a logo so why don’t we all get back to playing games now! What do you all think of the new logo?
