Retro Style Video Game Badge SVG for Gamers, Shirts, Mugs and Stickers
This retro style video game cut file is a single badge design showing a game controller over stacked sunset stripes, with the lettering SEX IS TEMPORARY and GAMING IS FOREVER on a navy panel. You receive SVG, PNG (300 dpi, transparent), DXF, EPS and PDF files, made for t-shirts, vinyl decals, mugs and stickers. The controller is drawn in flat colour: a white d-pad, grey thumbstick-style round buttons, and face buttons in green, red, purple and teal. The stripes run through bold orange, red and navy blue, and the outline is near-black on a white background. The design is square and reads clearly even at small sizes, so it works on a sticker as well as a shirt back. Because the artwork uses flat colour and a playful, humorous slogan, it suits gamers who want a vintage-look badge for everyday wear, gifts or their own setup. Each file opens in the software you already use for cutting or printing.
Design breakdown
The design is cut in 8 layers and uses 9 flat colours: white, navy blue, orange, red, light gray, near-black, green, purple and teal. The game controller, d-pad, thumbstick-style round buttons and coloured face buttons are separate shapes, so you can weed or colour each part on its own. The sunset stripes are stacked bands of orange and red across a rectangular navy panel, which carries the lettering SEX IS TEMPORARY and GAMING IS FOREVER. Fine details such as the small face buttons and letter edges are best cut at 4 inches or larger. The cut complexity is medium, so a standard cutting machine with a fine blade handles it without trouble.
