FAU edit! 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.

Greetings Games!

As you well know, a lot of the sub forums share many of the same thread icons. Some are more relevant to certain forums than others and some are just plain too old. This is where you come in!

Facts and I want you, the lovely posters of games, to submit your ideas for new thread icons. This thread will be stickied for a few weeks and we will collect all of your awesome, new and cool ideas here. When we've decided we have a great selection to pick from we will have a poll to vote on some of the best and the winners (those who created the new icons) can win free avatars!

To get you started, here is something awesome that BARONS CYBER SKULL whipped up for me in the new Tomb Raider thread:


Multiplat


PS4/PC


XBO/PC


XBO/PS4


File Size, Dimensions, Type
Please keep files to the proportions of 60 x 15.
No more than 10KB.
.PNG, .GIF, .JPG all fine.

(No to .PPT)


Good luck and lets see those submissions!

I like the mobile one a lot. The FPS one would be good except it's hard to tell at a glimpse that that's the Doom marine's head and I don't have a good suggestion for what to do about that other than use a character with more distinct features that better translates to the small size. The platformer one is too squished (text covering Mario's face and also right up against the side) but otherwise I like the coloring and font styling. The RPGs one is well-formatted but the character's head face away from the text doesn't look as good and the text in that one also doesn't contrast the background enough. Also no need for the 's'.

I really like the overall idea a representative character for each genre thread icon.

Good points. I'm not happy with the Platformer one at all, but there's no real good acronym for it. :(

Are there enough platformers we talk about to need it's own thread tag? Mario etc could fit under the banner of "Classic", which unless I'm having a real :downs: moment is a shorter word.

There's already a general "Classic" tag taken from CD, duplicating tags doesn't seem like a great idea.

I like both of these a lot better! No real feedback other than that. And AlphaKretin makes a good point, everything "Platformer" might as well go under Classic, which could use a revamp.

e: or if we couldn't dupe the classic tag, maybe retro or something

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

My first thought was "what does an ugly guy in a bright blue shirt have to do with first person shooters" and then looked close and realized it was Doom guy but if it looks fine to other people, that's cool.
