The Game Awards logo combines an angular winged figure with the name THE GAME AWARDS in capitals. The silhouette consists of slanting geometric strips converging towards the centre; it echoes the award statuette created by Weta. The lettering uses a sans-serif typeface. In the vertical composition, the figure sits above the name; in the horizontal version, it appears to the left of the wording, which is arranged over three lines. The black versions are intended for light backgrounds and contain no event year. Without a date, they can serve as permanent identifiers for the awards. The emblem also appears without the name, but the complete compositions combine the recognisable silhouette with the event’s official name.
The Game Awards is an annual video game awards event founded in 2014 by journalist and producer Geoff Keighley. He is the ceremony’s creator, host and producer. The awards recognise creative and technical achievements in the games industry, including games, creative teams, performances and other fields. The ceremony combines award presentations with musical performances, trailers and world premieres of game projects. It is streamed online on major video platforms. In most categories, decisions combine the votes of an international professional jury and the public with different weightings: the jury accounts for 90% and public voting for 10%. This format brings together industry assessment and participation by the gaming community.
