I've got a question about the Emblem. I've read all replies here and couldn't find it discussed:
Can I use a character as my Emblem? For example, if I were to enter Tomb Raider as my entry, would Lara Croft count as an Emblem, or Sonic?
I'm thinking about doing something of this sort, but I'm not sure if that might be stretching it a bit too far.
Thanks [smile].

Hummmmmmm. I think the answer has to be "yes," but you should take care to ensure that your character is memorable. Sam Fisher or Rayman have very distinguishable, recognisable characteristics; Generic Hero #7 less so.

Lara Croft has more memorable "characteristics" than Sam Fisher. [wink]

Excellent. I'll see how recognisable I'll be able to make it, and decide if it could work out. Thanks for the quick answer! [smile]

What about the deus ex symbol? The deus ex symbol was mainly present at game startup and in the gui, not so much when playing the game. Even so, every time i see the symbol i think of deus ex. Would similar usage be enough?

Well, problem is, that when I look at the symbol (and I had to go to Google Images for it because I didn't remember it off the top of my head), it doesn't make me think "Deus Ex." And I've played the game through several times. So I'd say you need more than what they had.
