Eat Sleep Play logo unveiled

Eat Sleep Play logo unveiled photo

A couple of months ago, we told you about the departure of game maker David Jaffe (God of War, Twisted Metal) from Sony to start his own company with Scott Campbell, and they named it Eat Sleep Play. Now Level Up has the first look at the company's new logo.

As you can see, the logo is a pop top bottle cap. Pretty clever, eh? We'll let Eat Sleep Play explain what the logo represents:

Well here it is, fresh out of the oven: the Eat Sleep Play logo! This little pop top represents the heart and soul of what our new company is about. Not only are sodas the drink of choice for game makers around the globe, but soda also represents fizzy, refreshing fun. That's what we hope people will think of every time they spot the logo. It should tell folks that while they may not be getting the most intellectually nourishing of products, they will be always be getting something that -- to us -- is much more important: fun. And in this day and age of overlong, overblown, overproduced epic games, isn't that refreshing? You know... like a soda?  

There it is. I'll be honest: I was thinking beer cap. And maybe that was intended -- kind of like a dual purpose logo. Beer is also fun, right? Either way, good job with the logo, gents. Good luck, and we're looking forward to seeing some new games out of Eat Sleep Play.

I hope someone compares David Jaffe to a little girl again so we can see him have another hissy fit on his blog.

@ VWGTI:

Here's the gist of the drama. It was pretty hilarious at the time.

Why a bottle cap? Drinking is mentioned nowhere in "Eat Sleep Play". Plate? Food wrapper?

I'm disappointed. I thought for a second it was a game called "Eat. Sleep. Play Lego."

Way to encourage unhealthy habits, Jaffe. I'll have you know I eat salads and drink fruit juice whilst gaming with my chums.

Yeah wtf, no drinking but a drinking-related logo? I guess it could work on somme level, let's see what kind of animated logo's they will make for the games first. The new Codemasters logo was pretty weak as an image, but looked pretty good in motion (especially with blood).

*yoink* I stole it and gave it to my hard drive.
I love the colour scheme and the bottle cap concept is pretty original, reminds me of a Bawls bottle cap... even though Bawls sucks now... in comparison to new energy drinks, at least.

Pretty nice logo, and I like how its all gritty and bent like Jaffe.

...Wait, what!?!

The logo is meh. I think it's funny how much Jaffe's explanation sounds like something a Nintendo rep would say. It's all about the fun, man! Whatever. I like my long, epic games.

Ah, who am I kidding? I'm looking forward to Super Mario Galaxy at as much as Mass Effect.

I think they're trying abit too hard to justify it. I like though

This guy seems too trust-worthy, what's his angle?

I like this logo. I hope that this company does well.
