Yes, this is the logo for Rockstar's next Grand Theft Auto IV expansion pack on Xbox 360. No, Rockstar is not yet done courting controversy.

Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony will cast you not as the title character, a "legendary nightclub impresario." Instead, you'll play Luis Lopez, his assistant slash hired goon.

To be fair, Rockstar's announcement on Tuesday stopped short of explicitly specifying whether Tony got his nickname because he is gay as in "jovial," or gay as in "his name is written in a variety of sparkly rainbow colors."

We'll all find out together when we meet Tony this fall. Rockstar says the expansion pack will be downloadable for $20, or available on a retail disc in combination with The Lost and Damned for $40. You won't need to own the original GTA4 if you buy the disc.
