Som vi nyligen kunde rapportera, så planerar Sega att släppa både ett nytt Sonic-spel och hitta på ewn massa annat kul till den ilsnabbe kottens 30-årsfest nästa år. Medan vi inte vet något om spelet, har Sega nu åtminstone presenterat logon som de kommer att använda för allt relaterat till 30-årsjubileumet, och vi tycker den är känns väldigt passande för Sonic.
Sega har dessutom skickat ut en lång pressrelease om andra planer de har för allt detta, vilken du kan läsa under bilden.
