I was just wondering how it was decided which controllers were used in the logo? Out of the hundreds of possible controllers, why those three?

I don't have any problems with them, I'm just legitimately curious.

Wait! There are other things out there besides PS2, GBA, and N64?! Madness!

Seriously though, I'm not entirely sure how they were chosen. I'm kind of curious myself now.

Not really much to tell. Woppet designed the banner for us. He made a bunch of different controller vectors in the same style, and just picked these three and they looked pretty cool...
I might contact him and replace them every so often, or make a rotating banner or something.

I'm sure it doesn't hurt that the N64 and Playstation controllers are some of the most recognizable controllers ever.

A rotating banner would be pretty cool, IMO.
