Edge has an interesting graphical look at the evolution of the creation of the Sony PlayStation logo.
The Edge article actually talks a lot more about the creation of Sony’s game console itself rather than just the logo, so if you care to read about the feud between Nintendo and Sony and the politics that caused Sony to create the PlayStation, then do so here.

Someone on Etsy is selling homemade soap with olive oil shaped in the likeness of a PlayStation game controller. Each soap costs $4.25 and is available in red, yellow, blue, purple, peach, green, pink and turquoise. [via]
Unfortunately, the soaps aren’t completely 3D on all sides. The bottom of the soap is flat, but that is probably a good thing so that it doesn’t wobble around on a counter top or shelf. Anyway, this is a good gift for a gamer if the gamer you have in mind has a hard time getting up to take a shower.
