GameDate Logo Art Contest

General · GameDate Logo Art Contest · Mar 19, 2026
GameDate is getting a new logo and the community gets to make it. The contest runs for two weeks and the winning design gets $250. The top submissions will go to a community vote (will be implemented soon), but the final winner is chosen by the GameDate crew. **What the logo needs:** The logo should incorporate a calendar. That's the one requirement. Beyond that, you have creative freedom with the direction you take it. **Style suggestions:** None of these are mandatory, but here are a few directions to consider if you need a starting point. **Skeuomorphism** A logo that looks like a real physical object. Textured, shaded, dimensional. Think early iOS icons or the original Steam UI elements. **90s CGI** The pre-rendered raytraced look from mid-90s box art and title screens. **Animated** A logo with movement or visual flair, like the old Netscape Navigator logo with the shooting stars. If you go this route, keep it short and loopable. **How to submit:** Submit your design through the Google Form: https://forms.gle/a38Tjy74r6N2yXaS8 If you'd like to showcase your submission publicly, you can also post an imgur link in this thread. Include a way to contact you in your google form submission. Discord, steam or email. If you'd rather stay anonymous, a temporary email from a provider like Proton Mail works fine. **Rules:** All submissions should be your own original work. Don't post ai generated art. The contest closes on April 3rd. The top submissions will be showcased in a follow-up video.
