FWIW, i agree with you. Annoys me every time.I guess there's not really any point discussing it further then.

Its flagrant self-promotion.This thread is about exactly this topic. The people in here all want icons changed. This is the target audience. I really don't get the problem.
yeah the art is good but logo could afford to be a bit bigger. still it's not bad at all. i wouldn't lodge a complaint. :PGuys, I'm kinda dissapointed about the Flinthook icon, I'm really waiting for this game, it has a great art and a nice logo, but the way they place them in the icon don't look good, the logo is too tiny, idk.
Looks very good to me tbh.Guys, I'm kinda dissapointed about the Flinthook icon, I'm really waiting for this game, it has a great art and a nice logo, but the way they place them in the icon don't look good, the logo is too tiny, idk.
that sure is a nice icon
Wow. This might be my all time favourite icon so far. Gorgeous
Hey everyone! I haven't been around for a little while, but having just read these comments, I wanted to apologise to anyone who was annoyed or offended by me embedding my Tweets, I will definitely refrain from doing this from here on. Just two quick things..But we're not in any other thread, hence me not seeing the problem. If we were, this would be a different conversation :)
It was a grey area issue, because what you were doing was for the team, and positive. I personally will really miss your posts (maybe you could do them anyway but not using Twitter embedding?).Hey everyone! I haven't been around for a little while, but having just read these comments, I wanted to apologise to anyone who was annoyed or offended by me embedding my Tweets, I will definitely refrain from doing this from here on. Just two quick things..
First of all, I sincerely had no idea that anyone here would be so bothered by my posts, but to those who are, I apologise. I just thought that if anyone would be interested in them, it would be by fellow readers of this fantastic thread. I simply figured that if you're here, then you care about Switch icons. If you care about Switch icons, then my tweets might be both relevant and of interest.
Secondly, as The Moon quite rightly said, I thought posting my tweets in this thread would increase the likelihood of developers taking genuine notice and getting on board. Like you said, simply to gain traction. But to toythatkills, I'm not at all interested in self-promotion. I'm not attempting to gain followers via this thread and I'm not looking for people to click my links.
I know this is a quite ridiculous thing to say – after all, this is the internet – but it kinda hurts that anyone could see it that way. I thought I was doing something worthy for 'the team', but clearly some are a little cynical and see it differently. However, as someone who's just a few short years off of 50 and battling chronic disease and depression, I really don't care about me. However, for the purposes of this topic, I do care about our Switch icons and aiding this cause.
This probably sounds like a butt hurt rant, but I assure it isn't. I simply wanted to clarify my intentions.
The reason I 'type them in Twitter first' as you put it, is because I was tweeting my own Switch icon posts long before I discovered this thread or joined resetera. I would have done these tweets anyway. But thinking you guys might appreciate them, I posted them here, too. Clearly I was wrong and in future I'll just stick to twitter. At least there I get support and don't have to explain myself.I'm not bothered by Twitter embeds, just gross self-promotion. By all means post someone else's Tweets, but making a post on resetera by typing it in Twitter first and then linking it to get clicks is just so against what a discussion forum should be.
There's no reason why those Tweets couldn't have just been posts. If there's no T+Cs against it and everyone else is fine with it, then cool, carry on, but I hardly think using a discussion forum to promote yourself rather than to discuss is in the spirit of things.
Thanks Jack, I appreciate you commenting back. I do try not to take things personally, but severe depression and anxiety aren't the best cocktail in doing so. I think it was the word 'gross'.. [gross self-promotion] that triggered an unsavoury reaction. Thanks again though, bud :)It was a grey area issue, because what you were doing was for the team, and positive.

But rules is rules, and I can definitely see why it would be annoying. Because intentionally or otherwise it was promoting your Twitter.
Basically don't take it personally. Most people in here really like what you were doing, and those that found what you were doing annoying, didn't have anything personally against you. Just against a certain way of doing things :)
It's tough being the king.Thanks Jack, I appreciate you commenting back. I do try not to take things personally, but severe depression and anxiety aren't the best cocktail when when doing so.

Heavy lies the crown!
I figured with Sonic Mania Plus that we would get a nice new icon. I think this would be super:

But ... why? This looks just bad.Letter Quest Remastered icon got an update. Or rather, was set back to its original post-first-update icon.
BIG NEWS! Steam World Dig 2 just got updated including a new icon without that weird border, it looks so much better now!

Wasn't that already done on the Wii U?
This one looks really good imo - except for the missing logo.
The best kind of logo! Makes it look like each game is bursting at the seams with fun characters. :-)
HOLY FUCKING SHITBIG NEWS! Steam World Dig 2 just got updated including a new icon without that weird border, it looks so much better now!

Yup, I agree this is a classy icon. But the logo is sorely missing. This could've been an icon masterclass in minimalism.
