The Hidden Blade could use some better art. The current logo was something a friend whipped up for me at the last minute and I appreciate his effort.

We have some talented digital artists as members here (I'm looking in your direction, Heart). Would any of you volunteer to design a new logo? The theme calls for an icon 64 pixels wide by 73 pixels tall. Preferred format is PNG with an alpha channel, so the background color shows through. If you have an idea for a whole banner with good site branding, I'm open to redesigning the theme to accommodate.

Ian's idea for a logo was a nice image which, upon closer examination, has a blade hidden in it. Use this topic to share your ideas and/or artwork! Smile

I have installed Vesferatu's V5 logo and favicon. If you're still seeing the old one, try flushing your browser cache. I had to take the site offline for a couple of minutes to update the default (Mediterrano) color scheme. Sorry about that. Let me know if your color scheme doesn't look right.

The venetian blind effect looks even better over a colored background. On my LCD monitor, the blinds appear to open and close as I move my head up and down. Try it!

This does not mean THB is closed for logo designs. If Vesferatu or anyone else submits new designs, they will be considered.

Now that we have a new logo would it be possible to incorporate it into an iPod/iPhone homescreen icon? Smile

You might already know how to but Dave Taylor explains the process here.

There is a frame in this one because it simply looks weird having an arm jut out of nowhere with a jagged edge to symbolize a corner cut.

I see what you mean. The favicon could use a frame or something. It looks like a flag waving from a slanted pole when I take a quick glance up there.

Let me know what you think! The legs point forward.

If this doesn't work, then I might have to draw one from the side, or from the photo provided on this forum topic - the one where Altair is pouncing on someone.

I'm thinking of doing a banner for this website. Does anybody have a suggestion?

al-Assas posted that screenshot that he created of Altair standing near an eagle on top of a wall, where Altair looked as if he was slightly bowing to the eagle. That would be cool (not a screenshot as there would be copyright issues probably, but your artistic rendering of something similar).

Actually, that eagle does seem less detailed than everything else. I can maybe try to fix that as a project for school...

Well, I had an idea for a joke picture. Shy Here's the cover for the movie Fanboys.

The background is similar to the cover picture for another movie...
I think you know what I'm getting at. Make a picture of either Altair, Ezio or Desmond with the same background to show that we are the forty year old virgins of gaming. Laughing out loud Obviously it probably can't be used as a picture for the website because of copyright, but oh well.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which

Strange, I can see them. Try reloading the page and if they still don't show up go to quote, copy the links, paste and go.
