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.
