  8. This is the big daddy of video game logos and one of the most recognizable pieces of game artwork in existence: the dragon from the original arcade release of Mortal Kombat in 1992. It's the game that single-handedly turned the video game industry upside down and spawned the creation of the ESRB for all the angry moms and senators who complained about video game violence.
