Sony Introduces PlayStation ‘Logo Licensing Program’

07/27/2010 Written by Anthony Severino

Ever wondered why you don’t see many non-video game related products bearing the PlayStation logo, such as T-shirts, hats, etc? That’s because Sony has always kept their precious brand logo to themselves, and as you know, they make the best video game hardware and software around, not apparel and accessories. However, if you ever wanted to pick up a PS3 hoodie, or check the time on a Triangle, Circle, X, Square donned watch, you will soon be in luck.

Sony Computer Entertainment has just launched the PlayStation Logo Licensing Program, which allows various third-party licensees to use the PlayStation logo (under strict guidelines) on “a variety of lifestyle products such as apparel, accessories, house wares and more”.

This program covers not only the PlayStation logo, but PS3, PSP, PSP go, PS2, and the “iconic” △○×□ marks on pretty much an product allowed in the guidelines.

If you’re interested in partaking in this program, or just would like to read up more on the program, feel free to visit: http://www.scei.co.jp/olp/index_e.html

    cool stuff.

  6. Hongo Says:

    I like a lot of these items. They are simple and not trying stand out or draw attention. This is video game merchandise that someone wouldn’t look like a total idiot owning, unlike those “Blow Me” “I Scored with the Princes” and other tacky Nintendo licensed shirts.

  7. Paranoimia Says:

    Sony used to sell PS-branded items themselves through a store on the PlayStation website. I have a T-shirt, baseball cap and (very good quality) wallet I bought from it. I don’t know why they stopped!

  8. Paranoimia Says:

    Also, I want the T-shirt pictured on the page in the link. Shame it says ‘conceptual designs only’.

  12. tootergray34 Says:

  14. Psmgamer Says:

  15. Noob-Tube Says:

  16. wtGp Says:

  17. FiftyQuid Says:

    Yes! I’m so sick of walking into Wal-Mart and seeing only XBOX360 pajamas. Finally I’ll be able to do more than just wipe my nose on them. I’ll be able to buy a pair of PS3 ones too!
