How the PlayStation logo became a streetwear icon www.theverge.com

Much like a section of vaporwave a few years ago that integrated the PlayStation logo into videos as a method of evoking a powerful nostalgic emotion, the PlayStation icon works because it stirs a feeling in people.
“The original PlayStation logo is one-of-a-kind.”That’s the difference between hypebeasts and streetwear labels adopting the PlayStation logo (some also incorporating Japanese lettering) and T-shirts with straight-up printed photos of a character from a popular franchise: one has an overall vibe to it, while the other plays into fandom.
“The original PlayStation logo will always have that tie-in,” Soprovich says.
The PlayStation 4 logo and the PlayStation 5 logo, they’re never going to have the same kind of impact on the fashion industry.
The original PlayStation logo is one-of-a-kind, and that’s why people are still wearing it.”
