The Playstation logo is an example of the gestalt principle of closure. The principle of closure has to do with our wanting to close shapes however, by not closing the shape, our imaginations run wild. In this logo, one cannot tell where the "P" ends because it runs into the "S" and the "S" proceeds to run into the P. The lack of closure leaves the viewer the ability to keep viewing the logo in a different way.

It's said that the mind can do some pretty amazing things when it comes to text and language. For example, studies have been done to prove that the order of the letters in a word doesn't matter as long as the first and last letter remain in their correct places. [Can you raed tihs?]

Likewise, it can be seen that an incomplete letter can also give way to

an understanding of the whole word. In using Gestalt

principles, specifically of closure, this poster proves that

the phrase can be read though the words are clearly left undone. We can try to trick the mind, but can our sight really fool us when it comes to text?
