Re: The Arch-Games logo creation contest! [Winner posted!]
Am I the only one planning on submitting anything?!?
Probably.
I'm no artist so my contribution will undoubtedly get laughed at

Please do submit though, I'd hate to see Ghost be the only one.

Re: The Arch-Games logo creation contest! [Winner posted!]
Ghost is waiting to see what others come up with, Ghost has a few designs in mind and since Daenyth has not gotten back to him as to whether or not multiple submissions are allowed, he must wait to see what others do...

Re: The Arch-Games logo creation contest! [Winner posted!]
I won't promise anything as free time is scarce, but I might try some doodling.
oh, and #100, yay!
I need a sorted list of all random numbers, so that I can retrieve a suitable one later with a binary search instead of having to iterate through the generation process every time.

I might try something if I can finish my homework in time to have any time at all.

I like it 
IMHO, perhaps a touch too curvy on the controller, what with the d-pad, analog sticks, center buttons, 4-button cluster and overall design?
Especially since the Arch logo itself is quite fine and sharp -- even the curvy parts of it, the logo as a whole makes you think fine and precise.
Just an art critic who can't draw himself

Re: The Arch-Games logo creation contest! [Winner posted!]
I like it too! Nice submission, though I do agree that the curves could stand to be toned down a bit. You're welcome to submit multiples in any case, and at the end we will choose among them all.

Personally, I'm going to leave it alone. But feel free to modify it however you want. And thanks for the feedback.
Edit: Inkscape, FTW.

Here's two more; although I doubt the NES one is legal to use.

The Asteroids logo is great. That game is simple and elegant just like Arch Linux.
