I've said it elsewhere, but you know... the GDC could have achieved a similar "logo" effect and introduced a new gripping challenge by cutting the pieces out of plywood.

Sure, you wouldn't want people tossing them over the wall of the driver station, but there are lots of ways to put game pieces in to play.

Or we could have game pieces made of 2x4.

Heck, a random selection of used car tires would make great game pieces. In fact for items intended to be "generic", like the soccer ball, the GDC could intentionally specify that a random mix of manufacturers products would be used. That way we'd know that there wasn't some specific characteristic of a game piece that we had failed to consider, because every game piece could be different.
