It's just been cropped. It's hard finding the original Xbox startup in GIF form.

It's not cropped

It's missing so much geometry, the liquid isn't animated the same way

It's a poorly made fan recreation

I know because I have had to remake the intro myself (for teamxbox) so i had to keep replaying the video over and over and over to get the details right

 

[Axonometri]

huh? It's beautiful ,look.

I've decided I actually like the new one better than last one. I'd still like the OG splitting surface better than the orb though.

 

[iMax]

huh? It's beautiful ,look.

It's got that internal verticality of the original logo, if you see what I mean.

 

[FallbackPants]

They somehow managed to make the 360 logo look even worse. 2D minimalistic shit.

I like this new one. Similar enough that the masses will recognize a pretty well known symbol now, but different colours. The black background looks rad too. Better than silvery white

 

[Angelus Errare]

I guess now these consoles are going to be 'always on' we can say goodbye to fancy boot screens.

Always on doesn't mean no boot screen...you still have to turn the system on at some point. Whether it be because you lose power, or you decide to turn it on/off.

 

[Anticitizen One]

huh? It's beautiful ,look.

That's the 360's logo though so unless the new system will be called 360-2 or something it doesn't make sense to use it

For the 360 it tied the Logo to the controller and a lesser extent to the console power button. Seems to me that even if they intend to change the logo and font they would not put it on the outside the tent. If they do not change them then it is safe to say that the controller's guide button will remain the same.

PS4 is using the same ps3 logo. Also what ever is the name will be right next to it and look different i am guessing. 360 was in grey so we will see.

 

[Izick]

Most definitely. The subtle color shifts of the green and the big line in the middle of the X hints at it as well. It seems to be downplayed compared to the original one though.

I don't see it changing from what we have seen so far...

 

[BrokenEchelon]

I expect a Windows 8 / Tile-themed look.

Flattened Xbox Globe w/ XBOX on the right or something similar.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Flat metro logo in white with the new green background is the best.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

The Xbox boot up had a lot more geometry, shifting parts

Goddamn, good memories. Loved that startup and dashboard.

 

[derFeef]

What if the weather is really shitty on tuesday, would they have to postpone it? I am no tent-pro so it might be fine.

Really? I think this is the 360 logo:

and this is just the Xbox brand logo:

Any logo that requires a background color to stand out makes it difficult in branding IMO.

So what is everyone's MS Conference snack going to be? I'm thinkin Guiness and Chex Mix.

Pizza, coke and dorito's, naturally.

 

[DopeyFish]

The 360 logo is now the brand logo

The original Xbox logo was interesting but whoever made the sphere logo was a genius.

Though the original Xbox logo was amazing for the commercials, breaking out of a black screen

Got your attention instantly.

The background doesn't necessarily need to be green for it. Kinda like how the Apple logo is white, but becomes slightly silver when it's put up against a white background.

Something like this:

Or you could invert it and make the "X" part of the globe green, and the font/globe silverish-white.

 

[djshauny]

Popcorn and a beer

 

[Painraze]

I know they wont but I'd love to see them drop that ugly green color from the Xbox brand.

Yeah, exactly. You just swap the colours if it doesn't work on a particular background.

It's quite interesting how they've gone for black and green so far. Almost a call back to the OG Xbox.

I'll be making breakfast just before the event starts, so probably an egg scramble with broccoli and avocado and some OJ.

 

[sunnz]

damit, I keep thinking it's happening on Monday for some odd reason.

A whole day is left

 

[Dug]

I can't imagine them getting rid of the green....ever. What would you want them to change the color to?

Sounds great, but too healthy. Throw some Texas Pete on it or something.

 

[Izick]

Another easy way to discern between the 360 logo and the new Xbox logo is the lack of the little tail on the bottom right of the X on the new logo.

True.

Hot sauce really isn't bad for you.

I'm on diet right now so probably nothing ): I'll miss the good ol' days of pizza and pepsi during E3 conferences.

I'll be using sriracha like I always do.

This is a once every 8 year happening! You can treat yourself every now and then ;-)

 

[Y2Kev]

My gosh, I remember this. I liked the sounds. Didn't the Xbox play creepy sounds if you let it idle for a long time?

 

[FordGTGuy]

My gosh, I remember this. I liked the sounds. Didn't the Xbox play creepy sounds if you let it idle for a long time?

Haha yeah you're right that was hilarious, I wonder who at Microsoft decided to do that.

 

[kittens]

I ate two bags of Cheetos in the 24 hours after Halo 4 launched.

Never again.

Haha I know! but I started recently and I'm under medical supervision so I don't want to fuck things up once I have to visit him again in 2 weeks.

Never again.

With some friends we ate like 2 huge bags of doritos each during this year's Oscars. Neeeever again indeed.

 

[XtremeXpider]

Yes, it play weird sounds when idle.

 

[Izick]

Yeah, it was actual (distorted) sounds from NASA space travel missions.

With all the black on the promo stuff I'm pretty sure the console will be black.
White is pretty 2006 anyway

 

[Shahadan]

The wait is getting harder >_<

I wonder if it'll follow the tradition and be a big ugly box once again

 

[China Dont Care]

Flat Metro Life

 

[RoKKeR]

huh? It's beautiful ,look.

That's official? I take it back then, not bad. From what I could make out I thought it was a much flatter version of the 360 logo, but the depth is nice.

I still think we'll get lots of flat, minimalistic UI business with the new Xbox.

Original Xbox is awesome looking, and the 360 became awesome looking once it got a black model. So your opinion = invalid. :-P

Also, what's that gif from? It looks like a potentially cool show / movie.

 

[jbug617]

Alright I asked Ono (face of Capcom right now) on twitter if he was going to Redmond this week and he replied no that he is in Japan.

The Xbox 360 was the best original box of the three last gen. The PS3 looked like a glossy space-station, and the Wii looked a little cheap with the stand. The 360's convex design is still fantastic.

The PS3 Slim is amazing though.

That's a bummer. Capcom has been really dropping the ball as of late, but I would have really loved to see a next-gen fighting game, or possibly that rumored Resident Evil reboot game. I guess it doesn't rule out Capcom all the way though, so I guess we could still see Dead Rising 3.

It's from The Middle (tv show) so not really
(occasionally hilarious though)

So OG Xbox design is liked? You learn something new everyday! Cooler than OG 360 though I agree.

You are setting your expectations a bit too high, remember its 1 hour and the majority of the games and stuff will be for E3.
