What Sony is really hiding behind the PS2 logo

The colors of the PlayStation 2 logo were not chosen at random. In fact, there is a special meaning behind it. To date, the PlayStation 2 is the best-selling game console in the world. At the time of its release, it set new standards in the gaming industry. If you've owned a PS2, you probably remember legendary titles like GTA: San Andreas, Final Fantasy X and Metal Gear Solid 2 – or the black and blue color scheme of the logo.

The PS2 logo, on the other hand, had an even more unusual color scheme. The black and blue look wasn't a coincidence, but was deliberately chosen that way. However, only a few people know the meaning of the colors. The X account “Obsolete Sony” recently revealed what’s behind the color scheme. The posts on the profile are usually about forgotten Sony devices, which of course doesn't apply to the PS2. The account obviously didn't want to withhold this exciting piece of hardware history from the popular game console from its followers. The post reads: “The PS2’s color scheme is as iconic as its software. It not only looks cool but also carries a hidden meaning. Teiyu Goto, the designer responsible for the look of the PS1 and PS3, chose black and blue to symbolize the earth and space.” So the blue represents the earth and the black represents space. With the PS2 logo, Sony probably wanted to emphasize the futuristic nature of the console, which represented something of a revolution at the time. Concentrated Sony history The X account “Obsolete Sony” shows gaming fans exciting background information on the history of more or less well-known Sony products. Be it devices like the almost forgotten PS1 devkit, with which gamers could even create games themselves, old advertising clips or anniversary posts about iconic devices like the PSP – Sony's career has plenty of fascinating relics for tech and gaming.
