Outside the Box Project Beta Work - Game Build Thumbnail

To make our game a little more professional, like with the opening team credits, I decided to create a thumbnail/game icon for our game that would appear on the dashboard to represent the Application/EXE. Figure 1. is that icon.

I like the design, it's meant to be the one toy our child in-game owns that inspired the entire design and their imagination to create this little pocket world, draped over the side of the box it's contained in after a session of playing with the toy when the kid has put it away.

The icon itself is only 256x256 in pixels, this is because most icons are of this size, as my icon scales well with other game icons I have on my own dashboard. As well as the fact that Unity has set sizes it will accept when trying to implement a game icon in the Editor (as seen in Figure 3.)
