The idea here was to find a way to communicate gaming expertise by playing on the word "Gameographer", which lends itself to ideas around navigation and knowledge. I created a traditional joystick but framed the knob on an axis frame typical of traditional globes. I also created a subtle letter "G" out of the frame to further communicate the word "Gameographer". This combination of imagery works well in context and is strong enough to stand alone if need be. The client was an excellent source of feedback leading to the final concept seen here.
