The fans of Overwatch have started a rather unusual petition on Reddit. They want the Game Director Jeff Kaplan to be immortalized in the game through a spray logo.
Who is Jeff Kaplan? The director of Overwatch and Vice President of Blizzard, Jeff Kaplan, is considered a beloved figure in the Overwatch community. He regularly appears in the videos of developer updates, where he presents and explains the latest balance changes and new content for Overwatch.
His dry humor and regular actions against toxic players and trolls have already led to many memes in the community. Now a fan has suggested that Jeff should be implemented in the game through a spray logo.
What should the spray logo look like? The collective thinking of the Overwatch subreddit, where the suggestion for the spray was made, quickly compiled a list of possible contents for an entire pack of spray logos:
- Standard Jeff
- Cute Jeff
- Pixel Jeff
- Bearded Jeff
- Stoic Christmas Stream Jeff
- Pachimari Jeff
- “Wrestle with Jeff, prepare for death” – Jeff
- Retro Jeff
The user Owlero also quickly created a draft of what such a logo could look like in the game.
How else could Jeff Kaplan be brought into Overwatch? The user Mainsubreddit_OW has also suggested implementing the phrase “This is Jeff from the Overwatch team” into the game. This phrase has since become the trademark of the Overwatch director, as almost every developer video begins with it.
The phrase should also be made available for all characters, with each of them speaking it in their own way and with their own accent, according to another suggestion.
Soon, the Halloween event will start in Overwatch, and some of the new skins are already known:
