Feel free to correct me or add your own interpretations.

From Bottom Left, to Right

1) The Heraldry symbol... Not really sure what this one is. Ren Fest?
Anachronists?

2) Poker Cards - Pretty obvious, Poker and other traditional card
games.

3) the d20 - Roleplaying games, Specifically a tip of the hat to D&D

4) A Meeple - Also obvious, Eurogaming, Specifically a tip of the hat
to Carcassone (But I dont know a ton about Euros, did an earlier game
use the Meep?)

5) A Pawn sitting on a Pentagram (or star) - Not really sure, Sort of
reminds me of "Sorry" ... Could this really be for Traditional
Mainstream American Hobby Games? Or is it for Historical Boardgames
like Goose?

6) The Crossed Mace and Axe - Either for LARP or AT, or... well you
tell me?

7) Stones on a Grid Board - I'd like to say Go, but the stones have a
hole in the center, and they are all the same color too. Anyone?

I thought the Mace and Axe were wargaming?

Those aren't holes. The image was probably originally created with
black on a white background. When it was inverted for use in this
graphic, what used to appear as highlights on glossy black Go stones
turned in to black spots on light colored stones.

Well, it could be wargaming, But as far as I know, are not most
wargames set in semi-modern wars? as in Napoleon and Beyond? How many
"Mace and Axe" Wargames are there?

I went with AT because the weapons are crossed, signifying direct
confrontation, and because Fantasy as a theme shows up fairly often in
AT games. Larping because of Boffer weapons.
