Forget about market share leader, which current-gen console manufacturer had the best logo? If you would, leave your biases at the door and pick the one that is most visually appealing.

the gamecubes is the best! the Xboxs logo need to be blue and not green with White on the outside, the Ps2 logo should be silver and bold

GameCube obviously has the best logo here. The start up animation is creative and inspiring, and the logo overall suits the system amazingly. It's also very modern looking, and doesn't show its age. Pat on the back to Nintendo.
The XBox logo was indeed unique, and the animation on their commercials held the "cool" factor, but now it just seems dated and well, ugly. The green seems to date it all in all. The new 360 logo isn't a whole lot better.
The PS2 logo looked very sleek and futuristic when everyone was still playing their 64's and PS one's, but now, it is seen as a thing from the past, and painfully bland. There is absolutely no creative flare to it, besides the font, which is no longer considered creative. You can still be sleek and sexy without being boring and plain.
GC takes home this one.

Well for these I'm going Gamecube.

Easily the cube logo. The Xbox looks ugly and the ps2 logo always looked "cheap" with zero imagination.

Anyone who has played AC on GCN knows the GCN logo is the most appealing/creative logo.

Probably a tie between xbox and gamecube.... the PS2 logo is just bland and unappealing... btw, how does this pass as news???

I love Nintendo, but I have to admit that the XBox logo is creative. I'd go XBox, Gamecube, and PS2 in that order.

I loved the animation for the GameCube and the look of the Xbox logo. I agree with Nick Lundgren on the "bland"ness of the PS2 logo (even though I love that "wyyeeow" sound that accompanies it. It's better than the ripped off spiderman thing their doing for the PS3 though.

PS2 looks the best, followed by the cube. I never liked the xbox logo.
As for the next-gen, the 360 is much better than the PS3 spiderman font... well if that is font used for the final product.

I really liked the commercials where the Xbox logo would be "shot up" from the television -- I thought those were very appealing. I also like the way the Gamecube logo rolls out during the splash screen. The PS2 logo is just stupid.
I'd go with the Gamecube logo for the inherent "GC" and the cube structure -- pretty neat.

I'm leaning GC. The xbox logo looks dated (maybe it's the green?), although there was a time that it was totally brill. The GC logo is timeless and pretty much perfect.
In the spirit of fairness, however, this particular reproduction of the ps2 logo looks like crap.

I'd give it to the Gamecube. I've never liked the xbox logo (especially now that it's on a sphere with the 360). And the PS2 is too clean for a game machine. It would totally work for a vcr though.

Xbox would be my last choice for a console, but their logo does look the coolest. Why is it the only logo in this picture with a TM by it?

I always thought the Gamecube's combination of a letter "G" with a cube was clever. Also, the PS2s logo is kind of boring today but I remember thinking it seemed very "next gen" when it first launched (back when I was still playing games on an N64).

Gamecube.
It's a G, a C, and a cube. Very creative, and designed very well.

The PS2 mark is the only logo up there. The other two are symbols or icons – without the accompanying type, they do not make the full logo. It's also the mark that most gracefully downgrades to black-and-white, which all logos should due. Nintendo's GC icon works in B&W. but you lose the depth of fit. The Xbox "X" doesn't really work in B&W at all.
Unfortunately, most game-related design is garbage. The overwrought logo is a related issue.

I would like to root for Ninetendo, but Xbox wins hands down. That logo is amazing. It is very bold, and looks almost like its breathing.

I think the Green X is a better logo, though the game cube looks cool it's hard to see anything and the PS2 well I always thought it was too bland even the original playstation logo was better

I hate it when all game ads show both the old and new playstation logo. First I thought, woah, is there a PS1 version of this game? Now I think it's some Sony requirement to give their brand 2X the exposure.
Logo wise, I like it to be small, neat, and squarish, so it's between the GC and XB. The GC logo works on both white and black backgrounds, while the XB one only works on black. I would have to go with the XB logo for the nice green color. The GC one is a bit bland color-wise and it reminds me of an 80's movie company logo.

1.)NGC
2.)Xbox
3.)PS2
Like others said, the cube logo is clever, the xbox is kind of creative, but the ps2 logo just sucks. It somehow lacks "meat".

Definitely the Gamecube's. The PS2 is rather safe, the XBox's is a good, especially the way it looks like gaping cuts, but still, the Gamecube's is the most interesting visually, and cleverly combines various elements in an intriguing way.

I also would have to go w/ GC. I like it also because it looks like one of those drawing of impossible 3d objects. I don't think that it is one...just kinda reminds my eye of one.

I'm an Xbox fan. But, looking objectively, I really like the Gamecube's logo. The Xbox's is a close second. All Playstation logos (in fact, all Sony logos) have always seemed incredibly sterile to me.

looking at the gamecube logo, it could even be a question mark rotated to the right. it would be the ?Cube. i vote for gamecube because of the splash screen.
i wish for rev they would use the voice from eternal darkness (for gamecube) that you hear say "nintendo" whey it flashes up nintendo's logo/name as you load the game.

Gamecube, Xbox then PS2.
The Gamecube logo has aged the best, it still looks good in 2006
Green has never been a colour but green and black look pretty good together.
I've never liked the PS2 logo and it hasn't aged well at all, it looks very 1990's.

I like the GC one, just because it looks like a cube. The others are arite, but they're not very inventive - just an X, and the PS2 alphanumerics. I'm sure they invested millions of dollars at an advertising company coming up with logos; I find it hard to believe that was the best they could come up with.

Gamecube, hands down.
It's a brilliant logo, when you break it down:
- The entire logo is a cube
- The form creates a 'G', the negative space creates a 'C'
- The center is yet another cube
The PS2 logo is sleek, modern and simple. The XBox logo is good, but uninspired.

The PS2 logo has no depth, I prefer the gamecube logo and the Xbox is not bad (like the color).

I _like_ the Gamecube logo better. But the Xbox one is, thinking like a marketing guy, the better one. It allows you to do more with it, easier to remeber, bigger, etc.
