Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

with all this steam logo changing people are wailing about, has anyone stopped to think hey maybe that's not a great logo?

i mean, its supposed to be some kind of mechanical piston or linkage or something, right? i'm not an engineer but that seems like what its supposed to be. there's nothing to suggest that it would be powered by steam or involves steam in any way. it could be an internal combustion thing or whatever.

so what's your idea for a steam logo, imp zone?

mine is a saucepan with steam rising because steam has got games that run on the 'source' engine so its like a visual pun and steam is rising forever higher in popularity and support

it's supposed to look like the linkage on a steam locomotive.

changing your branding image is a tough thing to do OP, and I don't think valve is ready.

yeah but that linkage could be connected to anything, not necessarily steam at all or even a train at all

it could be a gigantic tank of farts that is propelling a machine that rolls croissants for fat people
