In a strange twist of events, a church appears to be using the Steam logo as its own branding. While driving around town, one gamer couldn't help but notice the hilarious sight as the iconic Steam logo was front and center on a local church's billboard.
When it comes to PC gaming, Steam is the go-to platform for many gamers who choose to play this way. As one of the leading online stores for PC titles, Steam has a giant footprint in the world of gaming, and it continues to grow as one of the most popular avenues for many players to purchase games. For many upcoming releases, being featured on Steam's coveted wishlist is a great achievement, and demonstrates the online store's power and influence in the industry. However, for one gamer, the influence of Steam appeared somewhere completely unexpected. A recent run-in with their local church's sign caused them to do a double take thanks to the house of worship's incredibly familiar branding.

Steam's Logo Found Where It's Least Expected
While on a drive, a Reddit user known as 4ourthdimension passed a church that used Steam's logo as its own. At first, the driver couldn't believe it and had to turn their car around just to make sure. However, upon further inspection, 4ourthdimension finally realized that the church was definitely using the official Steam logo on its sign. For many, this logo represents all the great games available on Steam, but this logo now may mean something completely different to the attendees of New Jerusalem Church.
The picture has since been shared on the official Steam subreddit by 4ourthdimension, receiving almost 20,000 upvotes at the time of this writing. Comments questioning the legality of the logo's usage have sprung up, while other comments have wondered if alerting Steam is actually worth all the trouble. This isn't the first time a famous logo in gaming has been used in a strange way. A few years ago, a skincare company used Resident Evil's Umbrella logo without realizing the meaning behind the brand, but seeing Steam's logo on a church sign is even funnier due to the sheer randomness.
As of now, there's no knowledge about whether the church is aware of using Steam's logo or not. After Steam had a record year in 2023, there's no mistaking that the online store is more widely known than ever, but it's unlikely that the church is aware of this brand's origins. Until more is known about the church's reasoning for choosing Steam's logo, this discovery remains a hilarious mystery.
