‘Street Fighter 6’ Already Causing a Stir Over $80 Stock Image Logo
Capcom announced Street Fighter 6 this week but some people have noticed the logo bears a striking similarity to an Adobe stock image.
Earlier this week, Capcom released a teaser for the latest installment in their Street Fighter video game franchise. The Street Fighter 6 teaser was dropped after a lengthy countdown, which now links to the game’s webpage.
The 39 second teaser doesn’t give us much to speculate over other than Ryu looking swoler than ever.

But the teaser ends with a look at the Street Fighter 6 logo and some graphic designers have noticed something familiar.
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

When compared to the Adobe stock logo image found on their store page, the similarities are obvious. The only differences being the letters have a curve to the edges, the lower bar of the F is angled downward and they added the 6.
No one (reasonable) is claiming Capcom stole the stock image. The backlash is more just from the perceived laziness from the developer. A company like Capcom has enough budget that they shouldn’t be buying stock logos. On top of that, the logo is frankly, pretty boring. Without any context, there’s no way to connect it to the franchise at all.
