What goes into designing a video game logo? To get the story behind the creation of the logo for XCavator 2025 — including never before seen early sketches and variations — I went straight to the source: Myself. katewillaert.com/xcavator-2025

KateWillaert.com - XCavator 2025XCavator 2025 is a previously unreleased NES game newly published for the original hardware, for which I was commissioned to design its logo and packaging. Below I detail my design process.katewillaert.com

Who invented inflation?

I thought "level up" was a lot older than that.

Has anyone ever interviewed the US marketing team behind Final Fantasy VII? I'd love to know who it was that pushed for it to be VII rather than VI. Maybe someone even suggested a non-number? There's got to be a story behind that.

*lost in thought* "Was Popeye taking spinach the first 'magical girl' sequence?" "Wait, is that why the Sailor Moon characters are sailors??" "Wait, Sailor Moon -> Sailor Man???"

🤔 *ponders*

I’m glad people who’ve read the book are saying this looks good, because when I saw the trailer for Foundation coincidentally right after reading the book, I was livid about how badly they’d butchered it. Debating whether I should read the book first with this one or just enjoy the show.

I like how this feels like it’s visually leaning into referencing all the movies that were inspired by the book. I was thinking “this is like a reverse Mr. Robot,” and then the logo reveal in the same Sega font! youtu.be/g79GPZSQHBk

Tried a side part as an experiment. My hair looked merely okay for most of the day, and then turned into this right before bed. If I can harness this, I might be about to entire my side part era.

I’m unclear from reading the article whether this is 10 movies, or a single movie that combines all 10 of these IP? Either way, it’s a huge missed opportunity that Major Havoc isn’t on the list.

10 is 4 2?

I could think of worse times for a C drive to begin to fail.

Tell me which is weirder: - The Simpsons licensing nicked a pixel art beer mug I created for one of their official t-shirt designs. - A Discovery Channel documentary nicked some pixel art I created. I list Discovery Channel and Simpsons in my resume now.

Y’know, I rarely watch vids about sports games, so I didn’t realize the SNES Drunk is in or from Minnesota.

Still waiting for Sister Pac-Man.

Are there certain common phrases that your brain reads in a different voice? Like when I see “good luck” I hear it in the voice from Star Fox. But recently my brain has been poisoned to always hear “uh oh” in the voice of Adam Driver from this: youtu.be/qkoZi3TfctU

Oh hey, it's back in stock? Great news! If any of you wanted a copy of the NES game I designed the logo and packaging for (I didn't do the illustrations, just designed it all), now's your chance!
