Street Fighter 6 ‘s Logo Is Actually Stock Clip Art

Yesterday, fans finally got a glimpse at Street Fighter 6 – but more importantly, the fighting game’s logo since not much else was shown.

The reason fans were upset with the Street Fighter 6 logo is the sheer jump in art direction between it and previous editions. Street Fighter is a child of the 90s, with a laughably radical image to prove it as commandos throw sonic booms at karate men.

With Street Fighter 6, however, they’ve dropped all of that for a minimalistic MMA-style logo which Twitter user and Ars Technica Creative Director Aurich says they might not have even entirely designed in-house.

“The new Street Fighter 6 logo is $80 on Adobe’s Stock site I don’t even know what to say.”, they said. “I knew it was generic but I didn’t realize it was this bad. They searched for “SF” on a stock logo site and rounded a couple corners and added the 6. I cannot”.

It seems as though someone at Adobe has caught wind of the backlash, since the link provided in Aurich’s tweet now leads to a dead page on the Adobe website.

It should be pointed out that there’s nothing illegal about using vector art for your logo. It’s just that when you’re one of the most popular fighting game franchises in the world, you’d almost expect something with a little more…. je na sais quas.

Still, the internet does as it is want to do and have been poking fun at the logo we did get, remarking about how the little 6 in the logo looks like an email notification rather than the next numbered entry in a beloved franchise.
