About imac
Who is imac?
Since 1998, Ian "imac234" Mackillop has always been a gamer. For when he can remember, he has always been attached to a video game. From Super Mario Bros on the Game Boy to Call of Duty Zombies, video games have always been his passion.
Back in 2018, Ian was playing Fortnite with one of his friends on his Playstation 4, he noticed a little icon next to his friends gamertag. He asked, "What's that? "He answered, "I'm streaming this on Twitch". Ian liked the idea of that. On August 7th, 2018, Ian decided to join his friend and start streaming their games.
Over the last four (almost five!) years, Ian has streamed games like Fortnite, Call of Duty, Star Wars: Battlefront, Assassain's Creed. But how did he settle on Zombies?
At the start of COVID, Ian considered what would be the next chapter of his streaming career. He then decided to go back to one of his roots and go back to Call of Duty Zombies after taking a seven to eight month abscense from anything Call of Duty. Going back to Black Ops 2/3/4 ignited the passion he had for streaming again. He started speedrunning after being back on the game for a couple of weeks, and the rest is history. Two years later, Ian has amassed 10,000 Twitch follwers, 750,000 views, and most importantly, Twitch Partner.
Twitch Partner was something Ian never envisioned happening when he started streaming on his PS4 on a random Tuesday evening, but he's here now and with this website, he's ready to take this to a new level.
imac's logos
August 9, 2018 - June 23, 2019
The classic imac logo, made with Microsoft Paint! Fun Fact: If you went to imac’s channel while he is offline, you could see this logo!
June 24, 2019 – November 18, 2021
The first professional imac logo. The face is half human, half zombie to show imac’s love for Call of Duty Zombies. The controller being held in his hand is a Play Station 4 controller, representing his preferred gaming console. Headphones equipped, strapped up like Dempsey, this logo was made when he believed that he could create a strong and always growing community.

Self-taught, self-made. This logo represents imac’s past, present and future. When making this logo, imac wanted something that encapsulated where he was from. As seen on the home page (insert link), this logo was made with an animation, making it imac’s most unique logo. The animation was made by him. Knowing nothing about animation, imac worked tirelessly to make this. While the logo itself is simple, the animation tells a different story. The “A” taking off like a rocket represents imac’s home, Houston, the city where NASA is located. The text’s style is based off “The Mandalorian” logo with it’s sharp text, showing imac’s love for Star Wars. With this logo, imac has finally found a logo that fits with him, his city, and his community.
