Virtually nobody was surprised when Sony unveiled the logo of its next generation PlayStation 5 at its CES 2020 presentation conference.
Sony’s interactive entertainment head Jim Ryan showed off the new branding, which evidently followed in the footsteps of the PlayStation 4 logo without much changes, except for the ‘4’ being updated to ‘5’.
The big announcement did not live up to the hype, and fans and designers alike were disappointed by the lack of creativity in the new logo. It didn’t take long for internet users to express their opinions on Twitter, though many are seeing the funnier side of it.
Check out some hilarious reactions below.
Welcome to 2020.

The funniest part of the PS5 logo being identical to the PS4 logo is you *know* there were HOURS of meetings and discussions and notes and follow up calls and approvals for this design https://t.co/V9KLZCctbh

Everyone is so focused on the new PS5 logo that they didn't realise Sony also announced the PS6 logo right after. pic.twitter.com/Tu2XjZ8Olp
