Ideas for my game icon remake..

**rocotilos** · 02-22-2011, 04:33 AM

Hi all,

Im in the process of remaking my old game - the space themed mancala puzzle game. everything is good so far. but i am kinda stuck on how to remake my game icon.

the old icon is like below:

I feel this icon sucks.

I'd like to send a message from the icon
-the game is mancala based
-it is space themed.

This is the game screenshot (the new version will be almost similar to this).

At the same time, I don't want the icon to be too cluttered too. Im thinking of putting a starry background on one side, and the mancala portion on the other side....

What do you think?

Think he's a bot, who didn't set it up good, because it's not showing any spam links x)
And u are correct, this icon is a bit well, odd..
I'd be using the marbles for something, like, make it more comic icon.
Like a biiig heap of marbles with a starry background or something >.<
good luck

I am not a professional designer of any kind, but it would feel better to me if the mancala were centered at the bottom maybe only 3 spots showing and maybe taking up 30-40% of the vertical space.
