When Street Fighter 6 first debuted earlier this year, one of the weirdest and most notable things about its otherwise unremarkable trailer was the game’s logo. Which, as I said at the time, was very much like a piece of clip art.
If you missed it, here’s the Street Fighter 6 logo as shown in February on the left, while on the right is a piece of clipart commercially available from Adobe for $ 80.

Considering the long and proud history of the series with ruined logos, it was a big disappointment! I mean, look at these babies!

It’s not really that different. It maintains the hexagonal shape of the first effort, along with its font, but changes things slightly by making this hexagon a “6”.

Is it a great logo now? No, but it’s not a mess anymore, I think it’s interesting that they’ve gone and changed it so soon, and I thought the flipped thing was neat enough to share!
