Oh wow. I thought this was a joke, but it turns out that it's genuine. What on earth were they thinking..? If Clickteam ever do something like this I'll probably drink some milk and punch a wall.

Guys, there's an interview with the person who designed the logo.

There's a list here of a bunch of other ones: http://s1.zetaboards.com/GameMakerStation/topic/2520595/1/

The guy who won was a bit arrogant about it. Plus apparently according to the interview his was the least liked by the GM community.

oh well, like someone else pointed out, it's gamemaker.
At least now the logo matches the product.

geez the guy is amazing. True, some people who were against the new logo went too far, but if 90% of the gamemaker community united against the new logo (regardless of who made it), maybe, just maybe, it's because it actually sucked.

"To tell the truth I got even more confident when I saw my competitors’ creations than I was when there wasn’t much known about them. I’m absolutely not saying they’re bad, but I can clearly understand why YYG didn’t choose them as the final logo."

I literally fell down my chair when I saw this, specially knowing his design was last and by far in the official poll (before his logo was announced as the final one).

"I loved the originality and great lengths of effort some of the commenters took to express their frustration with not being the winner"

a great facepalm moment there, assuming he wasn't joking.

The logo itself isn't awful, the problem is it's just plain childish and is far from being appropriate for a game making tool. I don't use game maker, and honestly the logo put me off even more. I would certainly not put a splash screen with that logo in my game, that's for sure.

At least that smiley logo doesn't look like it smoked something horrible.
