Street Fighter 6’s Logo Looks Like Placeholder Art For An Esports Circuit

Street Fighter 6 is officially in development, and many people online are talking about it. No, not the actual game because there’s no gameplay right now. No, not so much Luke, though there is talk about Ryu’s lower half and abs.

Turns out people are abuzz about the game’s new logo, or lack thereof. Check out the logo below:

If it looks a tad familiar, maybe you want to check out Team OG’s logo:

In fact, one could say that Capcom bought it off of Adobe’s stock art site. Which might be the case according to ArsTechnica Creative Director Aurich Lawson:

Compared to past Street Fighter title’s logos, part 6 is looking a little watered down. Just look at the logos for the past Street Fighter games from parts 1 to 5, complete with the iconic yellow-and-red font colour along with the sharp edges and stylized outlines for each iteration:

Again, part 6’s logo could just be placeholder material for all you know. Maybe we’ll get a full reveal this Summer 2022. But as it stands, the clipart template Capcom is using right now isn’t instilling anything passionate from many of us.

But don’t take my word for it; check out these thoughts from other fighting game experts and pros:

Please @CapcomUSA_ If there's one thing w/ #StreetFighter6 that practically EVERYONE has come to a agreement on is the logo. We understand 6 will be different than previous SF's, visually & otherwise. But -something- has to be done abt the logo. Praying for the best in 4 months. pic.twitter.com/AIy8JyGnbT

Street Fighter 6 has no release date or platform(s) announced, though we suspect it’ll be multiplatform (PC, Xbox, PlayStation). Capcom will reveal more news later in 2022.
