OnLive is a recently launched service providing games on demand. A vast selection of titles for rent or purchase, game trials, multiplayer capabilities, PC and Mac compatible — all instantly accessible through a broadband connection. I just saw this over at the Game Developers Conference and its a pretty cool prospect for avid gamers that may pose a potential impact to the console wars. While their identity may employ all the cliches one might expect — techy typography, a play symbol, dimensional circle with gradient shading and an animated light reflection — the overall feeling is appropriate and the limited black and gold color scheme feels cohesive (and not too much like the palette of Donald Trump’s bathroom!). Imagining the audience that Onlive has in mind, this is a successful, though slightly overplayed, visual approach. Images for the console and controller can be seen here
