Yes? Honestly, I hadn't thought about what it was supposed to be.

Probably the same people who think the Investigation Team are good at what their name suggests.

That's really interesting, since it seemed quite apparent to me.
I had never really looked at it for more than the small time spans it is shown in trailers so yeah, I hadn't realized that.
When I read the question I looked at it for a bit and I noticed what it is supposed to be, I guess I should pay more attention to this kind of things, but with so many logos that look like random things I tend to not question them too much.
I'd never seen it until just now. Figured it was just an artistic scribble...
Yep, and I had been looking at it for quite a while now (hell, I was one of the first who noticed it and my first post on NeoGAF was about it).
I suppose it's my extreme ISTJ tendencies at work this time, because I usually tend to just go with how details are presented without questioning them for a deeper meaning. So if I knew there was something odd with it, I would have taken the time and discovered it then, but the first thing I saw was a squiggle.
I feel like there's this weird, ongoing buzz around Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, even though it was released 2 years ago. From Wada stating that they're considering an update, to the manga, to P4AU being a PS+ game in February.
The next Persona Magazine releases next month. It'd contain very little, if all we considered was Persona 3 The Movie and the Persona 4 Arena Ultimax interview.
After actually seeing it, it's up there for me as well.

I just really hope if they update P4U its not 2.0
It's just clever enough to make in playfully, rather than painfully, pretentious.

Well, you only see it for a short time in trailers and when booting up a game, so I only saw a scribble.
It's definitely up there for me too, now that I know what it is.

Oh nice, so we're almost certainly getting something before the 23rd then.
Given how lame or uninteresting most game logos are, I'm going with clever. It's understated.
Also, I could have sworn we talked about the logo being a P when it was first unveiled.

I find it a little half-assed. I would have expected a black outline so you can see the P. I never really cared about the logo in the first place, so it's neither surprising or interesting to me that it's actually a P. I just can't see it being clever if most people don't even see it right because the "P" is literally blending in with the rest of the white background. It doesn't look good in my opinion.

A couple of people who happen to post in this thread failing to understand the logo suddenly translates to 'most people' not getting it?
It's a great logo.

judging from the ratio, there does seem to be more than just a couple people who didn't notice
(Off topic of all the PStudio logo conversation which is getting way too long)

This is very offensive. All Ps are beautiful and deserve love.
Though, that's not to say that there aren't better Ps out there.

It seems almost like a majority of posters is the thing
I guess it just depends on the person. I'm a designer so maybe I'm just more likely to see something like that.
I also asked two friends; one of them saw it and the other had never noticed.
I think the logo also conveys the urban, modern style that P Studio's games and philosophy represent. It seems to be the general vibe for most of the iconography behind the studio.
I definitely think at least 1/2 of those who see it won't notice the P unless they take the time to unfold it properly. Part of why I like it.

I don't. There's purity in its simplicity.
I can understand that. Some people I don't like make me hate the sight of their otherwise inoffensive face.

Well my opinions on the company might bias my opinion of the logo.
I'm not crazy about them
I approve.

Alright, I finally beat the game for reals, clocked at 92 hours, what a great game it was, easily one of my top 10 fav, I knew nothing about Persona before and now I'm quite exited for 5, I guess I finally got a ticket for the hype train.
So after P4G what comes next, what's the order, Arena, Ultimax, manga and so on?
I'm now going to see the anime and take a bit of a break before I start with clean up to get a platinum, once again a platinum to get for a game I loved, it's been quite a while for that.
Daily routine was, wake up/play it/work/ play on breaks/go back home/play/sleep (repeat) lol, insert some bathroom breaks and some food here and there.

It's Arena, Ultimax, then DAN. With Q taking place in some time bubble that doesn't happen anyway. Ultimax, and therefore Arena before it, should be approached with caution as far as story goes.
Not sure, but if you haven't played Persona 3 at all(since you said you never knew anything about the series), bear in mind that both fighting games feature characters from the cast of that game, so a version of Persona 3 may be your best bet in terms of what's next. Persona 4 Arena takes place a few months after Persona 4(but before the epilogue you see in Golden) while it takes place over 2 years after the events of Persona 3.
Otherwise, do as said. Persona Q is the odd one out since it takes place during the school festival in Persona 4 and before the school festival of Persona 3.

Adding onto this, the Arena games not only feature P3 characters, they spoil the story to hell and back.
A Dead Diehard

In addition, playing Arena first may, to be blunt, poison your perspective on P3, or at least a certain aspect of it.
I meant it was probably a bad idea for me to only play P3 after Arena.
Though my disdain for Akihiko reigns eternal.
Aadrian1234

Nah, i genuinely enjoyed the P3 characters stories in Arena
P3 character stories in Arena redeemed Arena for me. Except for Akihiko's cuz he got written into a joke. I personally enjoyed Elizabeth's interactions with most of the cast.
Asia PSN users (Hong Kong/Singapore) seem to be getting Ultimax as a free game in Feb! I already own the edition with the tarot cards and teddie bop bag..but still, it's rather neat, considering we didn't seem to get Dragon's Crown as a PS+ freebie back then.
Atlus-senpai starting to notice us!?

And that's why I still have an unplayed copy of Ultimax on my shelf... Gotta finish P3 first.

You can skip Arena and Ultimax in good conscience, especially since they're more P3 fanservice than anything else. Their stories also happen to be really bad and pointless. Just watch Labrys's story on YouTube and call it a day, really.
To each their own, though. I also thoroughly hated the P4 anime, regular and Golden.
honestly how even dare you

That's kinda what made me like it, it was more of the P3 characters and their character development

Easily.

"Suffering builds character."
That last one was from The Answer.

P4Akihiko (and PQ because he's the same there) is an insult to the actual character, I'll give you that. He's a beautiful angel in P3, though. His SL in P3P was an experience.

I think the thing that makes me dislike Marie's social links in Golden (outside of her being a horrid lizard person) is not so much that the party members just keep randomly showing up, but that they also seem to lose several IQ points when they do.

Kanji's the only one who seems normal, the others all devolve into their basest quirks, while none of them, not one, can figure out that Marie is plainly not a normal person.
I made a list of the "content" pages in recent Persona Magazines (so excluding the manga, miscellaneous art, merchandise round-up, etc. pages):
Persona Magazine #2014 September
Persona Magazine #2015 February
Persona Magazine #2015 July
Closest analogue now is probably #2015 February, because the two others were "launch" issues for their games (P4AU and P4D). So I think it's fair to assume there'll be ~50 pages for #2016 March.
I guess looking at it that way, a really theoretical list I could come up withand one where prospective page numbers are potentially, intentionally inflatedwould be:
Persona Magazine #2016 September
I could see it being something like that, which would account for most of the issue. In that list, though, I could see there being one thing missing.

Yes, it did seem odd during
the scene with Marge where everyone acts surprised that Marie had amnesia.

My first thought when I read about the new Persona Magazine was that it'd have something about that Persona celebration they talked about last year. I'm not really sure if that's a reasonable guess though.
CrimsonFist

Maybe, I don't expect any new news from the magazine itself, interviews aside, but there's a good chance that it will coincide with a Persona related event, so there's a decent amount of things that could be talked about there, the anniversary being a big one, alongside P5.
Looking at dates, I'd assume that anything in the Persona Magazine would be in famitsu/dengeki first, since that usually happens, so 19th at the latest for a Persona event? or if there's no Dengeki that week then the 12th, although that's a bit close to SMT IV F's release date.
Yeah, what's important here isn't the Persona Magazine itself because that's pretty much always a recap of information (barring interviews and some more minor stuff like the P4AU manga announcement). What's actually worth looking into is what content the upcoming Persona Magazine could recap, and if that's enough to justify one next month.
If the answer would be "there's not enough info out there," then that could potentially point to something happening in February before the release of the magazine.
To that point:
The Persona 20th anniversary project would be one of the outstanding Persona related things we know of, but it also would be far too big to be something first addressed in #2016 March. It'd have to be something we'd hear about before February 23.

I expect the next Persona event to address:
Persona 5 release date/special editions/trailer
Persona 5 anime
Persona 20th Anniversary Festival
And there's a decent chance that it could be before the 23rd Feb, in which case we should be hearing about it soon. It probably won't be another concert or anything as big as Super Live though, with this late notice.
