A Cogwheel with smiley makes me think of ANYTHING but game maker that is for sure.
If it would be a smiley maker then this logo would make sense but as for game maker, there is nothing that would resemble of it at all.

It would make more sense if they would have just kept the old hammer desing.
Ye ‘ol GM3 had blue ball with a hammer, once GM got a totally new desing in 4th version it turned in to red so it would make sense if they would turn it to green with these new changes.

Anyways, I am strongly against the butt big smiley and I am really in a opinion that it got to go.

and no, I am not against the change but if they are going to change the logo then it would just be expected to make sense and actually resemble Game Maker.

@Bretboy129 The hammer is out. No chance of it being used.

Is it still too late to summit ideas? I mean, I have 2 ideas that would look sweet, and one of them i would be able to attach to Albert’s picture, and it would maybe give gm users that old school GM feel, if not well, I’ll just not design one

Actually, my main problem, from an artist point of view, that the logo in itself is not good at all. It is a so-so, an okay logo for an amateur. Quality-wise.
Then comes all the questions about the relation of the logo to the GM’s past, present and possible future. In these areas the logo lacks everything. IMO.
Though: Sandy might want a different future for GM than it’s past. Who knows?

I took a look at the new logo and was not pleased on there decision. I do not like the smile at all. I would edit or change it to something better.
