Swedish designer Daniel Åberg has, just for kicks, taken a crack at designing not just the logo for Sony’s next – and still unrevealed – home console.

Sony might be in talks to acquire either OnLive or Gaikai—the two biggest cloud gaming providers—according to a report on Edge that follows up on previous articles on MCV and VG 24/7.

Jet Moto, aka Jet Rider, is a bit of a cult classic from the PlayStation days. It did well enough to get a bunch of sequels, but even then, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen a new game in the series. Which has upset designer Ian Galvin, enough to drive him to imagine…
