I need some help with something. The next ScrollBoss update will (hopefully) have at least one “mini logo” for each letter of the alphabet. Here is the current state of which letters I have done so far:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

I need suggestions for the letters that haven’t been crossed out yet. They have to be logos for old (16-bit or older) action/adventure games or the names of major characters in those games. Action-adventure means no sports games, no FPS and no faceless-entity-in-a-vehicle shooters (shooters like Contra & Rolling Thunder are allowed). Sprite-based fighting games and characters ARE allowed. Check this page to see if I haven’t made it already:
Mini Logos page

I know there are some obvious ideas for open letters (especially E) but I’d still like to see if anyone says anything. Leave your ideas in a comment to this post and I’ll add them to the list. I can’t guarantee that I’ll get them all made but I’ll have add them to the to-do list. Well, I will unless they’re really bad. Also: anyone who posts at least one good request will be added to the “Special Thanks” area of the ScrollBoss credits page. Be sure to let me know what name you want me to credit you by and if you have a website you’d like for me to link to in the news post once the update hits. This will be updated as I finish more logos.

Update 1: Just got O and Y finished. Their names in the U.S. versions are M and L so I’ll be lazy and save those for another update.

Update 2: T is done, too.

Update 3: E is done with a drone enemy who is in the GFX Generators and needed a logo.

Update 4: U minilogo is finished. Somehow managed to hint at the crazy bevel and shading in the big letters.

Update 5: K minilogo done. The IREM section looks a bit better thanks to the last two I’ve done Thurs. night/Fri. morning.

Update 6: J (Final Fight’s J), R and V minilogo done Fri. afternoon. Three more to go!

Update 7: Thanks to a post I made on Twitter, I have suggestions for P and W. Buyog mentioned Pengo, one of the options I had for P so I rolled with it.

Update 8: Okay, it’s all done now. Time to finish coding the last new additions to the minilogo page then add the appropriate logos to the Gfx Generators. Thanks for playing!
