Splash banner for video games are good, features the colors white, yellow, and red. The V in video is in the shape of a thumbs up. The white in the top portion of the banner floats upward and away, like a lava lamp.

An in-game screenshot of Consume Me. A teen girl sits at the dinner table, looking nervously down at a plate and oddly shaped blocks of food. A ham is a cube with a small one block addendum. A steak is shaped like a T. A corncob is a line. They align on the plate, covering various parts of the plate. A conveyor belt on the bottom shows incoming food blocks: a cookie and egg as small three-block L-shapes and a cubic piece of watermelon. A dog hovers to the right, hoping to be fed something off the conveyor.
