If we were in Capcom’s shoes though, it’d probably be a good idea to change things up before this summer’s update on Street Fighter 6 because it’s not the best look for fans to be immediately clowning on the logo of your next big game. Some are wondering if perhaps the logo is just a placeholder for the initial reveal, but considering the game has likely been in development for 2–3 years at this point, that doesn’t seem too probable. Others have pointed out the design is what you’d expect to find on an eSports team, and that could very much be on purpose. There’s been speculation that Street Fighter 6’s logo could be connected to Luke taking over the protagonist role with the hexagon looking similar to the octagons seen in mixed martial arts. It looks like they were right to feel that way.
Sunfar’s uses a sans serif font for the letters while Adobe’s has much sharper edges and is less angled, but they’re still close enough that people would probably mistake them for one another at first glance.įans were already wary of Capcom ditching the vibrant reds and oranges for black and white along with the unique lettering and felt it’s too generic. Now to be absolutely fair, Street Fighter 6’s logo is not exactly the same as the other 2. There’s obviously never likely going to be any confirmation as to whether Capcom knew about the other designs beforehand, but you’d think their legal teams at least should have come across them in the approval process. They searched for “SF” on a stock logo site and rounded a couple corners and added the 6 I knew it was generic but I didn’t realize it was this bad. The new Street Fighter 6 logo is $80 on Adobe’s Stock site You too could buy the logo for only $80 USD. Well after doing a little more digging around, Ars Technica’s Aurich Lawson figured out that SF6’s logo is almost identical to an Adobe Stock logo design. What’s even more wild, however, is other users began to share a screenshot of Sunfar’s website that’s still there right now, which had the logo in black and white with a 6 next to it and ink splatter. Sunfar is an electronics and appliance retailer with a few different logos, and one of them indeed looks very, very close to Street Fighter’s new direction. Shortly after SF6’s big reveal Sunday night, several fans in Asia recognized the hexagonal SF design from a Taiwanese store.

He noticed something is amiss with the picture: the Street Fighter 6 image is almost identical to an $80 stock logo on Adobe's stock images site.On top of appearing nothing like the series has used in the past, some people began to realize they’ve seen the logo before in some surprising places. But fans are far from impressed.Īdding to Capcom's misery is Ars Technica's Aurich Lawson (via Kotaku). It appears that Capcom was aiming for a look that's very modern and different, something companies have been known to do when going for the 'all-new' approach. However, with Street Fighter 6's logo, Capcom's deviation from the previous entries is as jarring as a dragon punch from Ryu himself.
The style has changed slightly over the years, but it's remained instantly recognizable and reassuringly familiar. Rather than keeping with the familiar look and fonts that the series has used since it launched in the 1980s, Capcom appears to have opted for an $80 adobe stock image with a few alterations.įrom 1987 through 2016, the Street Fighter games' logo has used a combination of the name and roman numerals in black, yellow, orange, and red colors. Facepalm: There was a lot of excitement surrounding the announcement of Street Fighter 6 yesterday, but one thing fans aren't so keen on is the new logo. Street Fighter, Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold, and every subsequent game in which she appeared in her 'Killer Bee' or 'Shadaloo' persona, Cammy wore her light blue thong leotard that had a small yellow tie attached to the front of her turtleneck, a small blue garrison cap, knee-high brown boots, and red gauntlets similar to her classic incarnation.
