Does GE need a new mascot?

Postby JamesLeonardo32 » Fri Feb 13, 2015 11:57 pm

I've been thinking about what GE could do with to make it more recognisable, and I was wondering maybe it could go with a more distinctive mascot? I don't have anything wrong with the Pacman-esque icon but I feel Game Editor needs something more unique. Maybe?

What do you think?

How about the pacman icon, along with some famous games made with game editor, a bit like https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/389 ... engers.png, only better, and more like an actual game making engine mascot. :P

Working on: Maybe putting my test games in gamejolt, polishing them a bit, but I still don't know when.

Lol, nice to see someone remembers a joke that's over a year old now. :P

On the topic of the ge mascot, has makslane changed his opinion since this topic was made almost 4 years ago?
By and large, Yes. I think it does need a new logo. Heck, I thought it needed a new one since I first signed onto this forum.

I'm wondering... How did we get Pac-Man as our mascot in the first place? Isn't Pac-Man Namco's mascot? Isn't he copyrighted? We are in no financial position to survive a lawsuit. Namco is still alive and kicking and if it finds a breach to its copyrights then we will be under fire.

Mascots ideas:

GE text symbol
Bird
Tool icon
computer icon
sprite or pixel icon
controller icon


Beyond a mascot, advertising what the Game-Editor software can do is most important, along with offering exciting, free GE video game demos and sample games to learn from. This site has plenty that can help out, though more are always welcome.
The competition out there is tough, but GE is a great tool for those up for the challenge. 8)

I vote for Adam Sandler

Maybe a cool robot with the GE icon for a head would be neat.

Or a lemon, a lemon could work too.
