The board needs an icon

[Dude]

So, the phpbb logo image the site use to display has been disabled as it just won't do.

I figure something that'll fit in a 150x150 pixel box would be a good size, but I'm not an artistic person by any means.

I suppose I could use a pic of a half naked dancing girl, but I think something more related to the theme of the board would be better suited. Of course I like the IA site logo and something similar would be perfect.

Keep in mind, this is something everyone is welcome to participate in. If we get a lot of content, maybe we can put it up for vote or something.

Sure, this board isn't about me or what I happen to like, it's for the users.

That is a small space. Your not giving me much room to work.

Hey Jolsen,

I like the size of the top one. I see it's 170x150. That's about perfect even a little larger would be acceptable. Looking at the IA logo, it is 150x104 So, I think if you want a bit more room 200x200 would be about the limit.

Is that the Star Trek font on the bottom one? I like it whatever it is. So I guess if you made the bottom one 200x200, it would make that font a bit more readable and I like its racy look.

File format?

[Minnow990]

File format?

Transparent PNG would be the best option.

Pretty nice. What do you guys think? Any competition out there?

I'm trying to see if my buddy will whip one up for us. He can usually get one done in less than a day...
as long as he's in front of his computer getting my messages

[YoDude]

I think the board supports all the image formats, or most of them anyway. Jolsen's is PNG. The IA logo and the phpBB logo are both gif, which would be great for an animated logo, but that would likely get obnoxious real quick.

My college try. Resizing was problematic and distorted the image. What do you think?

[YoDude]

Thanks for your input!

I think there's going to be some competition. I think we need to get a few more choices. If we can get at least 5 or more to choose from, that would be super cool.

It's not going to be me that decides which gets used on the site. It's going to be the users.

My buddy made this. What do you think? He'll tweak it if you guys like certain parts

[YoDude]

Keep 'em coming guys. Just remember whatever it is that gets chosen, will probably be here for a while. I have to be unbiased with this, so have at it!
