No, they're for the PS2 menu, but they happen to be used on PS3, as well.

This is such random trivia. Loved it. I even owned the game on PS2 myself. I wonder where that copy is now.

When loading a PS2 save in PS3?

Obviously.
To represent the game. Icons appear in a grid fashion, select them to copy or delete that game's save. You can see Uka Uka to represent Crash Twinsanity in the background.
Core made them.
What? You see these little models/icons in the PS2 memory card manager too. It's no secret.

Just to add to what you explaining to those who are still in the dark when it comes to PS2 save icons:

The PS2 represent save file data with 3d icons when you view the contents of your memory card. All games of the PS2 were made like this, it's not a cross-save thing. Here's how the menu would look like:

There's Lara standing proud among the icons.

Some devs opted to do basic blocks for icons while others created character model icons.

Here's the AOD one:



I most definitely prefer this one as it is a very good resemblance to Classic Lara. She looks like a pigeon on the Anniversary one

This is lovely! I bet they removed the braid on purpose so it could count as another easter egg

I always appreciated the game icons! From a distance AoD's look a lot more like the in-game model. TRA was clearly a nod at classic Lara. Legend and Underworld's icons were boring Logos. I also liked how for TR1 you could listen to the entire soundtrack including the voice clips.
