This is NOT the PS3 logo

A number of websites this morning have reported that this image is the first glimpse of Sony's logo for PlayStation 3, unveiled at a meeting with RAM supplier Elpida - but the logo is actually a mock-up created by UK magazine PSM2.

A number of websites this morning have reported that this image is the first glimpse of Sony's logo for PlayStation 3, unveiled at a meeting with RAM supplier Elpida - but the logo is actually a mock-up created by UK magazine PSM2.

We're not sure where the rumour originated, but we suspect that some chancer has pulled a fast one on giant US game news site IGN, which breathlessly reported on the unveiling of the logo earlier today.

A quick call to Sony PR here in the UK, however, reveals that the logo is not the work of Sony's design teams at all - but rather of PSM2's design teams, who mocked it up for a feature about the PlayStation 3 some months ago.
