PlayStation Brilliantly Replaced London Underground Signs With Its Controller Icons

The city's famous tube network got a branded makeover as the PS5 launches

Just as recognizable—to gamers, at least—are the four icons that make up the controls of a Sony PlayStation gaming console.

To celebrate the launch of the PS5, PlayStation has partnered with tube operator Transport for London, with the help of British PR agency Red and media agency MediaCom, to take over station signage with its gaming icons for 48 hours at some of London’s most popular locations.
