The Squares Logo

Posted by mazimadu on Feb. 22, 2011, 9:17 p.m.

As I look back at the 5 years I have been making games, a few things come to mind. With the time I have been making the Squares, Half Life 2 has had 2 episodes, Minecraft has taken over half the world, Apple still rules the other half and Duke Nukem Forever finally has a release date. But despite the extended term, I only recently discovered that the Squares don't have an actual logo. What have I been doing. This has to be one of the most obvious things I should have made when making the games. Even my website has a logo, and that thing isn't even in beta( visit mazimadu.com today).

So I began by visiting a few sites that handle logos. GRsites.com did a wonderful job designing a logo for me for free. After picking a font (Squares, duh) I imported it into fireworks and tinkered around with it. This is the final product.

A bit bland, I know

I know the logo needs some work, but I wanted to make something simple and easy on the eyes. That hasn't stopped me from using it in my game. Here it is in the banner I intend to use on the GMC.

Any feedback will be welcome. Also feel free to vandalize it. The more punk the better.

LoL.

Not to mention that Gran Turismo 5 finally came out.

The logo works. Not the most stylish, but I doubt I could do any better. lol

I think it needs to be more square-y.

Er ok, then steal other peoples work (like mine), cut them up, and animate them in game maker.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone did that and now they own comedy central.
