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.
