Usually, an image is opaque. A rectangle.
What to do if you want a circle, for example against a white background? -> Draw a green circle and make the outerior white -> e voila. If you now change the white background to, maybe red, what will you see? -> A green circle in a white rectangle against a red background. Nowadays, images can be transparent. Again, draw a green circle but now make the outerior transparent -> this gives us a green circle against -any- background. Please notice the sharp border of the circle. The current logo also has a drop shadow, - no sharp borders- ,which blends from almost black to grey to white/transparent. You have to decide at design time, which background color you want to have or you'll get ugly artefacts. Just put the logo on a blank page and change background color of the page. You'll see what I mean.

I get it now.
I will have to do testing then when I fuck with it. Got any suggestions as to what you'd like to see?

Well, I see twin planets before my inner-eye, or a wall that 'encloses the universe, leaving Anarres outside, free'.
(I might try out something on weekend)

For a very crude first try, you might look at
http://212.227.80.187/extern/anarres.htm Please note that the size doesn't match the original logo, and that a gif image will became very distorted if it is not displayed in its actual size.

smalltalk, I'm afraid I've given you the wrong idea.
I was thinking of a picture of something civ-related, as I am going to change the forum name to something without 'anarres' in it.

I'm not the worlds greatest graphic designer but here's a quick go at a logo (derived from the above suggestions)... Image Insert: Image Insert: Image Insert: Image Insert: I was thinking about having an image showing thru the PBEM, but got stuck for ideas, it would have to be a fairly 'mono-colour' image though or u lose the definition of the actual word. the colours used are just for clarity really - I'm happy to play around with it further/ try other suggestions/ ditch it, etc. let me know what you think. |

After looking around for a while, I found two motives:
It's still crude, no fancy drop shadows, no colors, no nothing. 1) the tower of babel 6.63KB
