Icons

Icons is a documentary TV show on G4 that used to focus on the history of a video game franchise, a video game company, a video game genre, a video game character, a video game console, notable moment in video game history, or a notable person in the video game industry. It was revamped in 2006, and now focuses on pop culture and things that the new G4 demographic would enjoy. In December 2005, the editor for Icons announced on the G4 forums that he had been fired, and that G4 was retooling the show for 2006. On May 10, 2006, it was announced that Icons was relaunching in June, and the show will feature a broader scope on things and people "men 18-34 care about, admire and emulate." The classic video game themed episodes continue to air on the network, under the name Game Makers.
