Then of course, one of those senior members, the ones with the degree in computer science and shit does this

And then that's when Yoyo games lost their soviet russia style control of their forum.

So get rid of that red ball! SMILEY IS IN TOWN

This is great and sums up the Game Maker itself and it's community perfectly.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

This is absolutely awful. I mean, seriously who the hell would choose that as the new logo?

Oh well, it's just a logo but sheesh.  I mean, it actually makes me feel uncomfortable to look at it.

why is there a cog wrapped around the smiley? it shouldn't be there. i mean i guess it KIND OF looks like flower petals but why not just draw the flower petals?

consider me one voice AGAINST the new logo, thanks.

Quote from: GMC Administration
The gear represents the thinking and creation process. The smiley looking up represents the anticipation members have when they work on their projects. The giant mouth symbolizes members constantly updating their demos with meaningless tweaks. And the fact that it's vector means that anyone, no matter how big or small can become the exact same way.

I knew that looked familiar when I first saw it, but I couldn't put my finger on exactly why.


It seems like they are trying a bit too hard to make something that's their own.

"OMG I think I will go to bed (soon) having nightmares of a logo with a hammer in it !! Em last time I saw a logo with a hammer it was the Soviet Union or…was it Game Maker… ?? Maybe I’m not up to date with the 1960’s ??" - Sandy Duncan

prefacing this with the logo is awful and really means very little in the grand scheme of things. it's just really funny that yoyogames is mismanaging game maker so badly ever since picking it up. first they signed up with softwrap and only annoyed legitimate paying users, then there is the constant delays in updates to game maker when open source and community projects are making more ground, and now they rebrand game maker to make it look even less legitimate than ever.

gamejolt ( http://gamejolt.com/articles/interview-with-game-maker-8-logo-creator/3016/ ) had an interview with the guy who made the logo and it's pretty great. some choice things:

sketches of logo creation process:


Quote
Did you feel confident once you saw the other finalists you were up against?
Totally. I’m generally a pretty confident person (some may refer to this as cocky) still I remained positive all the time. To tell the truth I got even more confident when I saw my competitors’ creations than I was when there wasn’t much known about them. I’m absolutely not saying they’re bad, but I can clearly understand why YYG didn’t choose them as the final logo.

Quote
How did it feel when you saw the criticism that was directed at your logo?
Most of the comments were just plain immature and really couldn’t be taken seriously. On the other hand, I loved the originality and great lengths of effort some of the commenters took to express their frustration with not being the winner – there’s even a game aiming to destroy the new logo! I guess nobody, not even Sandy himself, would have expected so much ranting (let’s say “heated discussion”), but eventually everyone will calm down as they realize there’s just no point in childish complaining. I’m however still kind of puzzled why only 8% picked this as their favorite, but I’m glad Sandy and a few others realized what’s really behind this logo. Of course I still feel great about having won and having defined part the future of Game Maker.
this logo went up against 4 other finalists and was the least popular by a landslide at 8%.

gamejolt also had a disclaimer:
Quote
Based on the maturity levels I have seen elsewhere regarding the logo sadly I feel it necessary to make it clear that Zak submitted just one of over 500 designs that were entered into the logo contest and obviously did not make the decision that his would be the winning design.  Hateful comments directed towards him will not be tolerated.
i don't really appreciate how it's framed that this guy won by no choice of his own and is shielded by criticism somehow when he talks about how people only dislike the logo because they didn't win. also the whole thing about stroking his own ego by saying this logo is clearly superior to everything else produced and the 92% who didn't vote for his design are simpletons who don't understand the work that went into the logo. great guy.

yoyogames is now taking "suggestions" on a revised logo:

just amazing how they can't even get a logo right.
