Fans of the popular Capcom saga were excited by details and information about the arrival of Street Fighter 6, however they were surprised to see the new logo… taken from an Adobe image bank. Will it be temporary?
The video game developer and distributor, Capcomannounced the Street Fighter 6, the next and new installment of one of the most famous fighting sagas of all. With a lot of hype on the part of the fans, since the last installment (Street Fighter V) came out six years ago, it seems that it did not meet expectations… at least the logo. Accustomed to Roman numerals and large colored designs, the SF within a black and white hexagon disappoints, even more so if you find out that it is almost identical to a pre-designed logo that costs a little more than 5 thousand pesos on the Adobe Stock website .
With a short teaser starring Ryu and Luke, some of the focus was on what we hope will be an interim logo. However, the director of Ars Technica, Aurichshared on Twitter that this SF inside a hexagon and with a six below it is found in an image bank of Adobe. If you pay 5,088.92 pesos you will be able to get an extended license and use the logo for whatever you want.
The new Street Fighter 6 logo is $80 on Adobe’s Stock site
I don’t even know what to say. 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

There is some other difference if we look closely. the logo of Street Fighter 6 it has the F slightly more inclined, the lines of the hexagon are finer, some points more rounded, we have the 6 in the lower right and paint effects around the logo. Without leaving their astonishment, many fans of the game began to make memes on social networks and compared the logo to a chat bubble or an application with six notifications.
The design is available as a file. adobe illustrator and it seems that it is not the first time that a company uses it publicly. as pointed out 100cuttlefish on Twittera modified version of the same logo was used for the science fiction convention SF Connection in France.

According to IGN, the creator of the stock image, a user named xcooleeconfirmed that he was looking to sell the exclusive rights to the image to Capcomand that it would take it out of sale to other parties.
It is not clear if this new logo will be the official one of the Street Fighter 6 or if it was only used for the advertisement, but it is still striking that a company as recognized as Capcomyou thought it was a good idea to use a logo taken from the image bank of Adobe.
No more information about Street Fighter 6, we only saw the teaser trailer. We still don’t know the release date or what platforms it would be available on.
