If you haven't heard about the farce unfolding around the Polium One yet, you're in for a treat. Billed as the first Web3 games console, with a host of incredible specs (including a massive 8K resolution), the creator (Polium) is hailing it as the future of NFT gaming. But not everyone believes the hype, which has not been helped by the recent release of the Polium One logo. Spoiler: it looks very familiar. 

Polium used Twitter to present a mockup of the upcoming console with the logo sitting proudly on the front. But a slew of indignant replies ensued, with many pointing out that the logo is a replica of the GameCube logo, just.. erm, flipped around. Perhaps they should have taken a look at our how to design a logo guide.
