I'm getting close to releasing a much updated version of Tank Universal and I thought it'd be interesting to have an icon on the main menu screen - say in the corner - that (unofficially) represents indie games, something small but dynamic.
And perhaps it could have a catchy slogan as well ('keeping it real, keeping it independent'?) - not in your face, but a small branding exercise?
And it could be opensource and other indie game devs could change it and also use it.
In fact, perhaps a series of indie icons could be developed
Indie-RTS, Indie-FPS, Indie-Adventure, Indie-Platformer, etc...
It might be a little button-holing for some types of games, but it could also be something to help brand indie games and make them a little more accessible to the public?
Hmm - I might nut out a few designs. What do you guys think?
