[game_preservation] SIG Icon and theme

[Devin Monnens]

Yeah, my picks pretty much reflect Henry's with joystick in a (vector) bell
jar as no. 1. The 3.5" disk has become very iconic as well, even though the
5.25" is in greater danger. The Atari joystick is also very iconic because
it represents such a wide range of games, especially classic ones (C64 and
Amiga also had one and two-button joysticks), while the floppy diskette
references 'saving a file' and is not specific to games.
