Game Maker Blog lacks a favicon and our Twitter avatar is boring!![]()
Will you make us a pair? Oh go on, please. There will be a prize. If your design is picked as the winner you can choose from either an upgraded version of Game Maker 8, an Indie game of your choice upto the same value or two months advertising on this site. Sadly our budget doesn’t stretch to PSPs, iPhones or Nexus Ones.
- Favicon requirements: 16×16 size, .ico format.
- Twitter avatar: 73×73 size, .png format
- There are no other requirements other than to use your imagination.
Submit your entries as a direct message to @gamemakerblog or by PM at the GMC.
Deadline: February 12th.

Awesome. I’ll try my best.
Oh… I’ve already got game maker 8 pro ^_^
I don’t like doing icon size, so I tried my hand at the twitter avatar.

Kinda looks like it says “GM8″.
@Frederick
You obviously didn’t read it properly.
Huh. The editing comment thingy doesn’t quite work.
Anyway…

Definitely entering for advertising, since I already have GM8
How much do you charge for advertising?
I’ll certainly enter if I come up with something I think looks decent and I remember to submit it.
@Broxter
I read it. None of the prizes spark my interest O_O
Yay! A favicon is nigh! No more boring bookmarks bar!
Seconded.
Does anyone know where I can upload a .ico file for this?
This will be fun. I’ll get started right away…now for ideas…
What size do you want?(in pixels) Want it to have anything to do with the twitter logo? How much colour and detail do you wish for me to put in?(sorry if colour is misspelt I’m from Australia)
