To me it looks a bit like the Featured Article icon, which Nintendo stubs definately aren't. I also prefer the NES controller. Optichan19:52, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Featured Article icon, , is a very different star; it's pale tan, not orange. As for the NES controller, the buttons aren't even recognizable as such in the thumbnail we had been using. However, I guess we could use something like this: Seahen17:48, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't even look much like a Starman either. (A Starman's bottom points are more spread out than in a regular pentagram, such that its convex hull looks more like a home plate than like a regular pentagon.) But my point was that a Starman is a single powerup in a single franchise published by Nintendo. It's like using the cardboard box of Metal Gear Solid to identify stubs in Contra, Castlevania, DDR, and other Konami franchises. Should I put this to a straw poll? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 14:09, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted the change to that image - it's sort of confusing, and it seems to be a derivative work of the fair use Nintendo logo. What's wrong with the NES controller? Andre (talk) 19:26, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That it's hard to recognize. Even if you can make out the buttons and outline at such a small pixel size, you still can't tell (unless you're unusually familiar with old consoles) that it's Nintendo and not some other manufacturer. What's confusing about the last image? Seahen22:19, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The racetrack logo and distinctive logo font are a trademark of Nintendo. The only time they have been used for something other than the logo of Nintendo was for an animated series called Captain N: The Game Master. Besides, how is it possible to misidentify "This Nintendo-related article" in the stub template's text? Still, I'd think 40px would work a lot better than 32px. --Damian Yerrick (☎) 05:43, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
