[game_preservation] SIG Icon and theme Atari Joystick + Belljar

[Andrew Armstrong]

Yeah, perspective isn't my strong point. Pixel art is *hard* and I'm no 
artist :) but the NES look is good :D

I'll redo the top holding handle / add a reflect (and maybe do a 
different grey for the joystick) a bit sometime tonight or tomorrow, and 
the IGDA logo - well, if people don't know what it is, they wouldn't 
know what it is in any of the other logos for other SIGs :) - we'll have 
text next to it too in most cases.

I'll do up the basic font I did previously in TrueType form for the logo 
text too, I just couldn't be bothered to investigate it today, heh.
