Brainstorming Game Stop Brand Logo

I created several ideas for the new logo. I came up with adding the game controller into the logo. This relates the brand to gaming and I thought it was a cute logo.

My classmates did not agree with me. They felt that replacing a letter with a symbol would be confusing.

The teacher said since I wanted to make a controller, there may be different shapes of controller, PlayStation vs Xbox so he thinks the controller will change shape in the future. He suggested I use the 4 buttons to the side of the controller - I will go back to review !!!
