Telltale Games

lombre · 05/29/2010, 12:26 pm

In one of the Bright Side of the Moon commentaries, it's mentioned that Telltale originally designed the BSotM icon to feature Hugh Bliss's face on the moon, rather than just Sam. Now, I know this is a long shot, but is there any way you guys might still have that original icon somewhere? To be honest, ever since I got Season 1 of S&M a few months ago, I always thought that icon just seemed a bit.. generic. No offense to Sam or anything, but his face just doesn't capture the episode. I'd love to have that original Hugh Bliss icon on my desktop.

Hey, same here. This reminds me of the alternate 204 icon where instead of Bosco being sucked up by T.H.E.M, he was in his store looking up at a bright light. I have the small version of the icon but I would love to have a full sized version.

lombre · 05/29/2010, 01:44 pm

Dang, now I want a full sized version of that as well!

Wait you can make a full sized version? Where were you two years ago?

**Jake** · 05/30/2010, 06:09 pm

I've got PSDs for both of those icons... I think. They were both changed largely because of readability at small sizes. Hugh Bliss as the moon just looked like a yellow blob, and Bosco looking up at the light looked like a blobby painting of either Jesus or Mary looking to the heavens, so we switched to things which could be more clearly seen at tiny sizes. Also, in the case of 106, we switched to Sam's head instead of Hugh's so the beginning and end of the season could be sort of bookended with Max at one end and Sam at the other.

Why do I have a sudden, insatiable craving for toast?

Mmm...it's heavenly.

Yes, that would be cool. Do that.

The Highway · 05/31/2010, 05:36 am

I still want the ones Jake was talking about aswell though

The Highway · 06/01/2010, 06:23 am

I made three.

Here's one with Hugh's face on the moon.

Here's one with Hugh's face transparent showing some moon.

Here's one with Hugh's face EXCEPT FOR HIS EYES, MO, MOUTH, EYEBROWS AND GOATEE transparent showing some moon.

Tell me which one you like most and I'll upload a .ico and then we just need to hassle Jake for the real ones!

(The last two aren't the best for small sizes)

splash1 · 06/01/2010, 01:16 pm

Nice job, but can you edit one so that part of his head is overlapping the border around the badge?

lombre · 06/01/2010, 02:14 pm

Very nice. I think I like the first one without any transparency best.

Also, I'd still like to see the original official one from Telltale, which had the Hugh Moon from Reality 2.0 and BSotM on it.

Remolay · 06/01/2010, 03:33 pm

Anyone else think of Andros for Star Fox with that third one?
