Did YYG make an effort to chose the worst logo possible out of the 500 entries? If I was the head of YYG, and my employee came up to me with that thing, I would fire them on the spot. Screw all the demographics and data and whatnot.

Maybe Sandy thought it would be great for publicity . . . couldn't they have chosen a really good logo instead?

Maybe Sandy wants to appeal to a younger demographic . . . wait, what? Any age group capable of using Game Maker (and especially not the Pro version, which is the $$$ here) would run in terror from that design. Pre-adolescents want to be treated like they're older, not younger.

But I digress. The fail is plain for all to see. Here is my submission (in alternate colors):
