Child's Play 2010 - I Need Your input!


Every year, Child's Play Charity puts on a glamorous dinner and auction to raise money for their cause. It is a wonderful program run by wonderful people, and supported worldwide. I like to go to the dinner every year and bid on the silent auction items, and in 2008 I donated two maille shirts to be auctioned. The shirts were a group effort by the Penny Arcade community - built and funded by great people. I'd like to take on a similar but much smaller project this year.

My inspiration comes from this - The Megaman II Project.
I want to do something like it, but on a much smaller scale. A series of wall hangings roughly the size of MegaMan in the lower left corner. Each one would have a video game sprite, logo, object, or otherwise memorable and game/pop culture-related icon.

So you all, as gamers and nerd culture enthusiasts, I ask you this: If I were to make a series of these, roughly 6"x6", what would you like to see? What would you hang in your home/office? Triforce? 1-up Mushroom? Pac Man? Let me know by commenting on this post. I'll take the top ideas and make them a reality this fall.

Cheers!

Personally, I would suggest an 8-bit Link, a close-up of a character from Chrono Trigger (Chrono, Lucca or Frog's head), pokeball open and closed, The Zombies Ate My Neighbors kid (I don't remember what his name was)

if you have the pixel density I would suggest some of the characters from the LucasArts adventure games:

Guybrush Threepwood
LeChuck
Sam and Max
Purple Tentacle

I vote for a boo, 1up shroom, princess peach crown, wario, a final fantasy mage, the duck hunt duck, the duck hunt dog, and bowser!

Oh! And that creepy egg throwing pink dinosaur. She's gotta have some fans.

1-Up (or Mega) Mushroom (http://archeious.deviantart.com/#/d195kzk), Triforce (http://archeious.deviantart.com/#/d195l53), and PacMan (http://archeious.deviantart.com/#/d195kry) all translate well into chainmaile.

Nintendo controller
CP Logo (with permission of course)
one up Mushroom
Mario
Link
Donkey Kong

It might be worth looking around to some of the various video game t-shirt sites and seeing what are some of the really popular icons they use.
