Nothing better than swinging around a little girl like a flail.

It's apparently a miscalculated joke. Color-inverted Vita icon with mors instead of vita.

Looks like fruit cake.

Fruit cake belongs in the trash, Vita deserves to be buried under forgetfulness. Alternatively experimental spices that end up becoming some kind of jet black substance.

Edit: Actually wondering, what happened to the Slayers tag? A few thread still uses it by I can find them through the filter.

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

Some tweaks based on your feedback:



I like the Doomguy one better. I don't think it's difficult to identify at all.

Good call - there's always gonna be threads for eSports events like Evo and the Let's Watch Pro Dota etc. threads. Here are a couple of more sober takes using a PSN trophy icon because, you know, trophies.

No text. Three gems, then one gets swapped in and they disappear.

This is awesome.

Maybe a Dreamcast tag could be the 9/11 "We Forgot" tag but with the swirl in the background instead of the Twin Towers.

Here's an :effort: piece of poo poo. I'm working on a .gif that cycles between three bigger words if someone who doesn't suck doesn't beat me to it.

If someone can reccomend a better font that'd be nice, I found an FF6 font but that replaces special characters with equipment icons and this font's special characters just look like poo poo.

Ok this is absolute poo poo but I did it and maybe it'll inspire someone with actual image manipulation skills to do better. :v: I don't know what happened to the "that" and I might fix it at some point.


E:VVV Thanks for the advice, I'll work on improving that (probably finding a better font for the swearing) if I go back to it. :)

I'd use a blue background, it was standard in ff6 and ff7.
Ah ok It' a pizza. Also the animation is ok.

I hope its not too hard to tell; it was obviously scaled down pretty significantly and it sure looked like poo poo zoomed in to edit. I considered the classic text box (especially because it would have allowed lazy copying from a screenshot of the line), but I decided to run with the pizza idea when I had it.

Oh, no, don't worry about that because I was with only one eye half opened since I was waking up, and checking SA still half asleep.

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?
