As for an individual icon, my idea right now would be this metal diamond with just the streaming S on it, possibly having the elongated parts run close to the edge, then bend to follow the edges in a diamond shape around the s.
I might work on it more later if I have some time, though I won't have any tomorrow as I have to work. If it wins, I'll be sure to work out all the details and stuff over the week or a few weeks. Want to make sure it's a damn nice logo/icon for a damn nice job done ripping this music format.
Not useable, as the musical notes are stolen (don't have the time to create it myself at the moment).
Description:
- in the final version, the upmost line of the sheet music is a little thicker as it would actually be the cord of the controller (then of course coming out from the middle of the controller's upper side)
- sheet music should be the first six/seven notes from the Super Mario Bros. main theme ("Ground BGM"), probably the most recognisable VGM tune there is
- moreover, I'd like to incorporate pixels to have it more video game-like, for example use pixelated notes or something like that
Also, nensondubois's misspellings are hilarious...if they're meant to be.
My real entree is.

There was one other thing I had thought of using, and that was a CD as the icon, since most of the systems are cd systems. I'd have to see how it looks, or see how it might look combined with the diamond icon.
I'd be working on mine more right now, but thanks to 3 hours of sleep, I'm pretty wasted right now... if only there was a few more days. I might try to get one more concept up later before the day's over, but it isn't looking too good at the moment.

Very nice and very clean. I'm liking what you have already up, but I'd like to see what'd you come up with next.
Bring it!
And to nensondubois, since you're so intent on insulting another's submissions, you broke rule 6 by intentionally submitting joke submissions as you admitted above:
"I made them to be funny.
My real entree is. (link)"
Not only that, but your design has nothing to do with streamed music from systems that use it (gameboy isn't streamed), and goes back to being in line with chiptunes, which was what was suggested not to do in rule 5.
Now, please don't insult others' submissions. Try making suggestions instead.
I have other ideas for mine, too. I have this awesome gold gradient I made that looks nice on the text, and also nice as turning the metal diamond into a gold plate. I might post them, but those were really tests from earlier.
EDIT: You know, I was thinking about a joint deal kinda thing, too. I got the text, but no icon, aside from the diamond "plate", might be neat to try to come up with something together.
