Here is my entry to the #1UP logo design contest by Hive account@flauwy.
To make the logo, I created a thumbs up mascot in Adobe Illustrator and then used the thumbs up mascot as a blue print to draw the 1UP logo pixel art in Adobe Photoshop.

Update

I have adjusted the space between 1 and up, bringing them closer as requested by Hive account@flauwy. And I also trimmed the logo, making it background-less.

Here are the updated logos
