Website Graphical Assets

We need a favicon.

Probably a banner too.

Anyone have any artistic talent? I sure as hell don't.

Whats the theme or subject?

Er...um...LOKI!

Policy-oriented analysis geared for an educated but non-expert audience.

Heh. Good answer, Loki. Good answer.

To be honest, I have no idea how one would relate the graphics to the blog's theme. Good luck. :o

You know what, I was going to ask for an actual response, but fuck it, I like a challenge...now to think of something that will fit into a 16x16 pixel box...

Seriously you could just install a template...there are hundreds of them. Then you can customize it and make it your own. Just a thought.

I can do up a logo. Just give me the specifics, and I'll see what I can do.

I feel like the more random favicon we have, the better. :noob:

Something related to the globe would fit our name

I was planning on a globe with an open book or pages in the background... :o

...other ideas included an astrolab, however it would be a pretty obscure and tenuous link to the blog/forum. Also thinking calipers, however Assassin's Creed already seems to have that down...

I like the mu, as well.

If anything let's please not go with the been-done http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:u.../worldbank.gif

I might be willing to give this a shot, as well. Like jackboots said some specifics would be cool. Do we want to relate in any way to the ACC?

Let's cut the cord, and avoid any reference to that place. Coordinate with Illusions so we can avoid duplication of work.

I can dig it. The biggest problem I can think of is making something that looks good with all 102634983 themes.

SHUT UP SUICIDE!

@loli: what? im trying to help out?

Why would we, with several artists, want to get something pre-canned?

Don't be a fucking idiot.

I am only a musical artist :(

What about the Atari symbol with a line through it.

Are we still trying to do this? The weird conglomeration of brushes at the top of the dark theme is giving me a bad vibe...

Bump.

Bumping isn't a bannable offense here, is it?

How about a freaky cartoonish glowing eyes ghosty kind of thing. What do they call those? Oh, can't think of it, I used to kill them in D&D, um, oh yeah, Wraiths.
