Artwork - twitchtv/igdb-contribution-guidelines GitHub Wiki

Artwork uploaded to IGDB must be official. Fanart is not permitted due to copyright laws as well as third party liabilities. If you are unsure if an artwork is official or not, please leave a comment on your submission or reach out to our community in discord.

Additionally, please do not remove artwork when providing a new one. We want to keep artwork even if it's old, to show for the history of the game. If you find that an artwork that has been accepted into the database should be removed, make sure to provide a reason in the comment field of the change group.

The current limit is 20 artworks/logos.

We support 3 types of Artworks:

  • Key art without logo: The key art is the main promotional art used for representing the game, often matching the game cover.
  • Key art with logo: As above, but with the game's branding included.
  • Concept art: sketches or drawing from game productions, this can range from environment design, character designs, inspirational sketches etc.

Logos

We support three types of logos: black, white, and color. These naturally also need to be official as well as preferably of a high quality, though a small logo is better than no logo at all. We strongly recommend uploading transparent PNG for the logos.

Examples:
