I adore the LA Noire icon. It might be my favourite yet
Thanks. This gave me some inspiration to make a not-so-bland CrunchyRoll app icon for Switch
Here's an alternate take:
(Which one do you guys prefer?)
Edit: A version without the Home Screen:
Hey, thanks for the feedback!
Haha! I didn't know this existed. This would make a nice fit, yes, but there might be some mixed massages in using it since the design seems more like a promotional thing. It's like seeing the Splatoon icon with Squid Girl/Ika Musume on the front instead of the main Inkling girl.You DARE make an icon of Crunchyroll on Switch using the mascot... and NOT use Kokosac's (WarioWare, Rhythm Heaven) version of the character? ;)
it was posted in the eShop thread
Not great. That logo clashes with the art and the whole thing looks messy and incomplete. I guess they originally designed the icon without the logo but then slapped it on for a quick fix when they caught wind of the icon controversy. Oh well, it's still the lesser of two evils so I'll take it.

TBH I'm much more a fan of simplistic icons. For instance, I think Sonic Mania's is very nicely done, and the ARMS Testpunch icon is more interesting than the release version. IMO The second Snake Pass icon is also much more impressive.
I actually like Galvan's edits LOL!
I kinda wish the ARMS official icon was either just the game's main ARM
or even Biff's mugshot
Meanwhile, the Mario Kart icon could simply be the newly-purple-colored Deluxe 8 icon:
And BotW would be awesome if it was simply the logo's first letter decorated with the simbolic Silent Princess!
Ahhh! These are so much more harmonic and organized <3
I really hope Nintendo's guidelines are much less of a rule and more of a suggestion, because I'd rather to see more iconic, less "boxart"-y icons on my home screen.
could easily be improved with a white stroke around the outline. makes things much more readableNot great. That logo clashes with the art and the whole thing looks messy and incomplete.

That's fair, and a good point
The problem is the juxtiposition, like in the example above. That's why I think its better if developers follow Nintendo's guidance. Sonic to me isn't bad, but it definitely pops out as different as in the example above. And of course its subjective and different art style, but man the other icons just blow away the Sonic one in this example. The simple, stand out design used by Sonic would be great for a game icon on your phone, but the other style seems better suited to the Switch medium.
I can take this idea and run with it, if you want, but there are a couple more games I want to see icons for first, if it's OK with you. Revelations 1 and 2 are of great interest to me. I love those games.

It should've been this, the chosen icon is poorly composed, has that bizarre red section that serves no purpose and an awkwardly placed logo.
L.A. Noire? Amazing art plus that subtle frame!I think my SIOTY (Switch Icon of the Year) would be a tossup between MK8D and SteamWorld Dig 2. Hmm...
Yeah, LA Noire's is pretty great. Also Pokken DX — they squeezed in nearly every Pokemon on the roster! And Golf Story has a very soothing landscape piece. Hmm, so many great icons!

Oh yeah, that one's GORGEOUS. Really great stuff!
Can someone make a gold-tinted version of my avatar? It'll be the trophy we hand out.

This would be great. Let me know if someone makes one available, I'll put it in the OP of the voting thread!We need a big infographic with like all the icons. I know tolkir has been posting them in the eshop thread but I'm not sure if they've ever been compiled properly?
I'm a dummy, Tolkir himself made an album full of icons, although I think they are all separate images: http://abload.de/gallery.php?key=siFV0nnIThis would be great. Let me know if someone makes one available, I'll put it in the OP of the voting thread!
