Was watching the parlor live panel and was inspired to make a big dumb e3 award to plaster onto developers walls during the conference.

I had a few hours of free time and tried to make something cool, that was big.....and dumb. (Oh and in the middle the duders can write in whatever award they need, so they don't have to plan ahead). ((The award itself doesn't include the black background.))

Thoughts? Critiques?

Is this even in the right forum?

I thought it was supposed to be a 'this game is the shit' award.

@gravytrain: those words but with huge visual emphasis on the word "shit" so from a distance it looks like an award just declaring the game shit.

Each trophy will have a tiny painted Luchador mask on the deer. Then it will say
Giant Bomb Award e3 2016

How about: Game that Hideo Kojima might have made

Dan Ryckert's "Cool Guy Award"

"Booth Crew Most Likely To Give Everyone Con Crud"

"1995 Physical Education Participation Award" <- and insist that the game earned it

"Most Likely To Inspire Some Really Gross DeviantArt And/Or Tumblrs"

"Most Gun In Shooter Game" < Admit you got a discount for bad translation.

The "it's fine" award

The "This used to be hot garbage but now it's not" award

The "has a song by two-chains in the soundtrack" award

The "Sherlock Holmes Crimes and Punishments" award (awarded to Sherlock Holmes Crimes and Punishments)

Not a bad design. I like the idea of a marker-able space in the center for what they need in the moment

I still like their idea of just handing the booths a severed deer's head.

Here are some awards:

The "I bet Germans would love this!" Award (made for the super weird farm/bus/everyday blue collar job sims)

The "Vinny's Game" Award (made for game that would most likely be something Vinny would love to play)

The "This would be better if Detective Inspector Jenks was in it!" Award (made for any FMV game)

Another Idea I had would be for them to slap on random stickers (things like bumper stickers, cd/dvd security stickers, smelly stickers that read "GRAPE JOB!")

AWARD: Possibile Frog Fractions 2

"Is this Firewatch?!"

That thing looks prestigious as fuck! You can't give that to people as a Giant Bomb Big Dumb E3 Award™. It needs more crayon...and, like, bad map coloring...and maybe a splotch of blood in the corner...and Papyrus font.

@jakob187: It's too professional? Shit.

Best carpet.

Yeah. I feel like someone would legitimately use that as a not-jokish type of thing. If you replaced all of the coloring with map coloring...like, couldn't-keep-it-in-the-lines map coloring, that might help a bit.

@jakob187: couldn't the irony be the joke? Like hey here is a really nice award for something stupid like "best carpet"

It's your design, man. I'm just throwing out ideas. That's all. = D

I'd love to see one for "best Purell station placement"

@jakob187: yeah yeah thanks! It was just a first pass.

maybe redoing it is even more professional

what do I do? :'(

Add more lens flare.

I like that idea! Seriously, it just needs lens flare and Papyrus font.
