Why have game cover banners just been getting worse?

Why have game cover banners just been getting worse?

Idk anon the original spiderman ps3 was absolute shit. The normal ps3 banner is better.
>>
>>341369486
Xbone's is great. The only one that's consistently gotten worse are the Nintendo ones
>>
>>341369486
I really like the PS4 one for some reason.
It just looks really pleasing.
>>
>>341369486
PS4 > PS3 > PS2
XBOX > XBONE > 360
Wii > GC > WiiU
>>
>>341369486
I don't see the problem, they all look fine to me. Who the fuck even cares about this shit?
>>
>>341369486
the original 360 was the ugliest one ever.

They're just keeping up with the times in terms of design aesthetic. It's the same reason you never see flashy reflective looking "CLICK HERE" web 2.0 buttons on websites now, we're in a post-minimalism era of design right now where gradients and reflections and flourishes are just starting to come back. And they look better now than ever.

I like them all better except Wii U. Which is funny because it's the only of the "new" consoles I have, and everything else is digital on PC.

PS3 was a fucking mess. The new logo is better, but my PS3 collection's spines are a disaster of inconsistency.
>>
PS2 is absolutely classic

Slick black, straight to the point. Ballin.

Switch the gc and wiiu around.

PS

Is the worst fucking shit ever

Just seeing the original Xbox banner gets me excited. It reminds me of how futuristic everything about the Xbox felt to me.

basically this. Quads/Tetras have spoken!

What's wrong with it?

I only just realized that the Gamecube banner is the same shape as the Wii U one. Holy fuck.

It just looks like horse shit, like they ran out of room and need to continue it to a new line even though it's only three characters. I know it was first, but the new PS3 logo was much better.
>>
>>341369486
They seem to get better over time actually. That 360 banner looks like ass retrospectively.

Not a huge fan of the Wii U one though
>>
>>341370294
i just remembered that PS3 and spiderman used the same font
huh
>>
>>341369486
When is the minimalism meme going to die? Everything looks boring as fuck these days. Especially company logos that look like they were made in MS Word.

Xbone cases are definitely an improvement over the 360 ones. 360 cases were that awful shade of green and were pretty flimsy.

Late PS3 cases are my favorites, I like that there's consistency between PS4 and Vita (lol Vita) but I do think that transparent cases were far better.
>>
>>341370716
I think Sony owns the font or something. Columbia Pictures did the Spiderman movies, which is owned by Sony.

>>341370743
nice may may

I like late PS3 (not red label) and PS4 - I like that they fit together height-wise so you could store your entire library alphabetically and have serieses that span generations grouped together.

I absolutely resent, however, the fact that some covers have spine art and some don't. I'd love it if they all had spine art, but I'd rather it be like PS2 era where they're all white than have some with and some without art.

Thanks. Want to trade?
