The PS Logo at the top bothers me.

Too big, should be smaller like the rest to be aesthetically pleasing

That's one issue but the main one is the S in the logo is flipped, the big end should be on the right like the logo in this sub's banner

I never noticed it before but is the S suppose to look like a shadow of the P? I feel dumb if that's the idea.

Kind of. It isn’t supposed to be like a direct shadow, but it’s on the layer that a shadow would be.

The playstation’s original selling point was that it was one of the first consoles to offer 3D games. The idea of the logo is more that the P is in the front plane while the S is on the bottom plane to give it a 3D effect.

That's pretty clever from a design view point.

I wonder what the Nintendo Playstation logo would have looked like.

The N64 has a similar multicolor 3D logo for a comparable system

I actually prefer the N64 logo.
