To me it looks a bit like the Featured Article icon, which Nintendo stubs definately aren't. I also prefer the NES controller.

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? --

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 (

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?

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. --
