Your brand, on my PS5.

Completely. The auction is real, the money is real, the stickers are real die-cut vinyl, and there is a genuine console going on my desk with your logo on it. The only fictional thing is the idea that a console side panel isn’t advertising space.

I’m Jay, a product designer. I run Knockturnals Studio, where we design and build websites, products and brand systems for startups and growing businesses.

This is not a studio project and it is not a business. It is a thing I built for fun on my own time because I wanted a PS5 and thought this was a more interesting way to get one than just buying it. I play games; I don’t make content about them.

Because I would rather the bidding decide what a spot is worth than have me guess. Two dollars gets anybody in — a solo dev, a tiny tool, a side project, a Discord server — and the good spots will climb on their own.

• Your logo, printed as die-cut vinyl, on the side panel of a real console
• A spot on this page linking to your site, for as long as this page is up
• Proper photographs of the finished panel, which you are welcome to use however you like

What you do not get is an impressions number, because I would be inventing it. This is a designer’s desk, not a media buy. What I can promise is that it gets printed, it goes on, and I show you the result.

Payments run through Dodo Payments. When you place a bid you pay the full amount there and then — there is no deposit and no invoice to chase later.

If someone outbids you, your payment is refunded in full, automatically, the moment their payment clears. You do not have to ask.

You get your money back in full and a mention in the bid history, and you are free to swing back. A new bid has to beat the standing one by at least $1.00.

Almost. Every sponsor and every uploaded logo is approved by hand before anything is printed, and I keep the final say on what goes on the panel — it lives on my desk, after all. If your bid is refused, you are refunded in full.

A transparent PNG or an SVG gives the cleanest print. JPG and WEBP work too, but a white box around your logo will show up as a white box on the panel. Three megabytes is the limit.

Upload is optional. Skip it and I’ll set your brand name as clean type instead, which honestly looks fine. If your logo needs adjusting to print well at sticker size, I’ll email you before anything goes to the cutter.

I could. But buying a console is boring, and building this wasn’t. I design and build things for a living, so an auction that puts twelve strangers’ logos on my hardware was always going to be more fun than a checkout page.

If nobody bids, I’ll get one eventually anyway — it will just be a very plain white console.

The twelve standing bids at the closing time win their spot. I email every winner the same day, check the artwork prints cleanly, get the stickers cut, and post proper photos of the finished panel here before the console goes anywhere.

This is one console and one auction. There is no second run, no franchise, nothing else to sign up for.
