I agree. I'd love to have some of the Nintendo tags, the Metal Gear one, etc. I'll talk to the admins.

But I'm going to wait until after the contest. I want to try and get as many Games-made tags as we can.

Can someone make one with Barrett that says "that &^#$# 'pizza'"? Thanks!

Got another iteration on the Barret icon. Goddamn it all these good contributions dropped wordlessly and here I am posting 5 times about this lovely one.

Rather than find another font I traced over the basic shape of the letters and drew my own symbol swearing. My main concerns:
  • Are the single quotes visible?
  • Are the symbols legible, especially the "$"?
  • Is the font too minimalist compared to the relatively detailed Barret sprite and pizza background?
  • Is there a font colour that would contrast better?
I'm not sure the background works. What if you had the text animated against a simple background without Barrett, then a couple frames of Barrett's face appearing? The tiny icon thing doesn't always work.

Made a few more:







Last one is a walking simulator joke. Its pretty lovely imo!

Any feedback appreciated. Have no idea what fonts look good small.

Edit: Make a super quick altered beast one for no reason.


I love these too, especially the Altered Beast one.

If you don't like the walking simulator one, maybe something built around the famous "see those mountains?" meme?

It's alright, I'm not making icons because I have no skills or talent whatsoever. I am a forums moderator.

I think a Giant Enemy Crab tag would be a good E3 tag. Maybe with one of the little crab monsters from the original Mario Bros./Mario 3 bonus game?

Early access games often don't come out, or come out in a massively unfinished form.

The mask is Phanto, an enemy in Super Mario Bros. 2 that chases you when you pick up a key. He does not stop. He does not ever stop.

Excellent posts guy BARONS CYBER SKULL has donated several game keys to be handed out to the winners. I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what games they are, so I'm just going to hand them out blindly in addition to avatars to the people who make awesome tags. If we end up with more awesome tags than available game keys you'll get something else I guess, no idea what yet.

I'd like to get as many Games-made tags as possible first. Then we'll see!

Hah, I made this yesterday and I thought it turned out maybe a bit lousy so I was hesitant to post it, but I'm tickled by how similar our idea was so why not.






Also tried a little gradient on the Mario one, I think it's maybe a bit sharper:

I love the last one.
