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.

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.

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?

Haha, well, I can't promise anything because I'm not exactly the most talented animator out there, but I can give it a shot if when I don't sleep well tonight. :v: I can certainly imagine what you mean at least.

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

I think a Dwarfs tag would be good. Maybe we could use it for RPG threads or something. Are there dwarfs in DOTA?

I can tune a fish.

What about "Early Access" as static text and one of those animated "men at work"/WEBSITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!! signs from the 90s internet to the left? Maybe no text at all and just the animated sign. Y'know, in case someone gets around to making a Construction Simulator thread.

What if it starts to write "EARLY ACC," then get crossed out and replaced with "FINISHED PRODUCT?"

Can we have an E3 tag or a tag for big but non competitive gaming events?
(I was thinking about a small Atari VCS E.T. looking to the letters E.T. that become E.3., if nobody does it I will attempt to do something tomorrow. I'm also open to suggestions.)

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.

Sorry, I should've been more specific. I know what early access is but I don't understand the final screen with the blue text, and I guess I lost track of the conversation because I don't know what Phanto (who I remember) is supposed to represent as a tag.

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.
