New Gamemaker Logo

Posted by on 9 Dec 2009

At last the final Gamemaker logo has been chosen! After all the arguments that the first one caused, it has been re-jigged and the giant smiley face has been taken away and been replaced with a cog and a "G" with Pacman filling.



The majority of responses to the new logo are much more positive than the previous, yet people are still complaining about the tiny inconstancies with the image. 2Dcube, famous game-maker is annoyed that the cog isn't exactly proportional and others are still disappointed with the design of the "K".

For me the image is much better than the last, and let's face it, easier on the eyes than the last. But still the logo doesn't make all that much of a difference to a game creation program at the end of the day...What do you think of the new logo!?

Nup, still like the old one... This one however is much more extensive with the use of colours from the previous Yoyo logo making it feel familiar yet it is still new. The shades of green are relaxing and the repetition of the letter G adds a higher complexity to the design, using it to display a shape similar to pac-man which reflects upon the older games and demos created by Mark Overmars many years ago using gamemaker. Keeping the icon a circular shape continues from the last logo which was a circle with a hammer in the centre, this again creates a familiar feel to the icon. The cogs represent the 'maker' part of gamemaker while the character in the centre of the G represents the 'game' part of gamemaker, thus incorporating both parts of the compound word which is the title. ... That is my design analysis for the day

Good luck with that... Although you would get a lot of visitors; by accident.

I like it. I also like the design of the "k", and I hope nobody tries to fix it.

@Snowyowl: Yeah I think it's perfect, and people should stop making such a fuss and just accept something that at the end of the day makes no real difference to Gamemaker!
