So, lately I've been jacking around with GIMP and MS Paint to make a couple of series logos, like Mario's Mushroom or Sonic's Head. I managed to make one for several series, such as Final Fantasy (Cloud's head.) If anyone has a suggestion for a series on the site, please make your suggestions here.
In related but not really news, I may decide to consolidate two series under one logo, for example, what I did with Balloon Fight and Ice Climber. I'd rather not change that, since the two have recently been seen latched up in the Smash series so far (for example, the Fish in the Summit stage,) however, if proven otherwise or even if I'm overwhelmed by negative criticism, I may revert the Balloon Fight characters back to the Smash Ball for a bit (though it would, eventually, be replaced by a third logo.)

Eggplants were never in any balloon fight games, if anything a balloon please >_>; I always thought FF would be a Chocobo.  Anyways here's what I'm thinking: Jill needs a drill. Game and Watch should have his Melee icon. Other then that the other characters on the site belong to series already. Edit: Oh, DeMille needs a tomato icon. |

I know, I know. I'm kinda using it as a group icon because of the zillion Balloon Fight cameos in Ice Climber stuff already in Melee and Brawl, for example, the Fish. Plus, I don't want a balloon for it.
Yeah, Chocobo seemed too boring to me. I experimented with a couple ideas, for example, a Black Mage sprite, but wound up loving the idea of Cloud's head.
A drill and a tomato? Hm. I could try that. No promises, though.
I'm kinda expecting the official Game and Watch icon to show up, but if it doesn't, I'm doing it myself.

Yeah, a balloon for Balloon Fight. Balloon Fight and Ice Climber have in common that they're contemporary of each other and the locations of the games are simple, but that's all. And, as preached many times, Balloon Fight is a series that didn't stop in the Famicom days.
The logo given to Mr. Game & Watch in SSBM is okay because the rings and beeps are common to all Game & Watch units.

I wouldn't opt on a balloon. Really basic and boring. I was actually quite hesitant about the Bomberman bomb.
No, I mean I'm waiting for the official logo. If I don't get it by February, though, I'm doing it on my own.

If I don't get it by February, though, I'm doing it on my own. It does not matter how basic is the balloon. The balloon is what identifies the Balloon Fight series, as it is contained in titles for the games of the series. That mix in Brawl is precious, but stop reading that much from it. If you really need an official logo for Game & Watch stuff, then use this.  |

Actually, I got to thinking and now believe that DrillDozer would be better represented by a gear...
Also, Birdo and Waluigi should have mushrooms o-O
I liked the Bomberman bomb...

No, I mean when/if Sakurai ever puts him in, to wait until we have that one first. Helpful. Eh, I prefer what they got right now. In their cases its about character connections and what spawned him, respectively. I do too, I love how it turned out, but to begin with I almost went with Bomberman's head. |

Shrikeswind... Ice Climber and Balloon Fight are linked because Super Smash Bros., but don't depend on subjectivity from Japanese crossover game designers to do something like that. IMO, using an eggplant just because of how have they been linked in the SSB series sounds very naive.  We don't even know if there will be a logo for Game & Watch, so I recommend just using a logo (transparent or not) like the one I showed you. That one should have been shown in Melee to begin with. If you're not giving an icon for Mr. Game & Watch for now, then I don't see why you should give one to Balloon Fighter and Alice, and one that is wrong. Don't do that. If you need a Balloon Fighter sillouette, I'll just show you this banner of mine so that you get some inspiration to draw it.  |

We'll see what happens with the Balloon Fight series eventually. For now, however, the question of accuracy can be left alone.

Also, Birdo and Waluigi should have mushrooms o-O Birod, fine, Waluigi, no. Waluigi's should be a "W". |

Waluigi was never in a Wario game. Ever.

He was in a WarioWare one, but only as a slight cameo.
