Apolyton Political Party Icons

orange · May 9, 2003, 15:45

Can we get icons for political parties? It'll give a good indication on where we generally stand, especially to newbies ( and for judging newbies

) They could go under our location field, along with the other stuff we're "in" on Apolyton.

<----

For example...the Green Party of Apolyton...

Communist Party of Apolyton...

orange · May 9, 2003, 15:57

Evil Capitalists Party of Apolyton...you get the idea...

orange · May 9, 2003, 16:01

Check out this screenshot to see how they'd look!

Frozzy · May 9, 2003, 16:02

I like...

Frozzy · May 9, 2003, 16:04

And that's a lot of AIM windows

Not to sure about the Green PArty one though

People don't always use their national flag, why would they use a political one. I would probaly use the Monster Raving Loony Party flag, but would never condone their policies (except the one about making Westminster Palace a huge bouncy castle).

orange · May 9, 2003, 16:06

hah, that's NOTHING. I have screenshots of me with 42 AIM windows open. It's hell on earth, i tell ya.

You don't like the Green Party one? Awww, that was my favourite one

You obviously aren't required to have one

The green party is good, just it's a bit too cramped for 15x19. Perhaps if the bg were darker, and it were just a globe...

Dauphin · May 9, 2003, 16:08

Then again, I might use the Yogic Flyers flag.

Frozzy · May 9, 2003, 16:09

Also, your pics need to be .gif

orange · May 9, 2003, 16:21

well the ones on the side are bmps, so that's what I saved them as. I could easily do them as gifs, though.

I figured the globe on its own wouldn't look as cool as the globe with a flower. You know, peace love and all that other hippie goodness

Actually Ras, if you look at the first announcement for civgroups, Markos requests .gif

Please check your facts before blindly correcting people.

That was only a statement that PNG files would be better. Interpet it as you want, Kiwi.

Bugs ****ing Bunny · May 9, 2003, 17:41

Actually ".png" is a Finnish phrase meaning "Would you care to embrace my sister?". I admit to being baffled as to how it fits into this thread.

Straybow · May 9, 2003, 19:39

As png they do look clearer, somehow…

But it may take the uninformed a long time to figure out the first is a globe and the third is american money.

Straybow · May 9, 2003, 20:21

How 'bout:

Straybow · May 9, 2003, 20:22

And this:

And of course:

Sirotnikov · May 9, 2003, 22:41

What about a liberal party?
A conservative party?
A democratic party?
A neo-con party?
A zionist part?
A fascist party?
anarchistic and liberterian parties (though they would resist gathering in any sort of parties, sincei t's against ideology. they only gather for violent protests

)

Jamski · May 10, 2003, 09:13

I want! I want!

I'd use this feature for sure. But there would have to be about 20+ parties to make everyone happy.

Nikolai · May 10, 2003, 11:23

This isn't a democracy...

I can already hear it!

Seriously, it's an interesting idea, but I don't think it will contribute much I'm afraid.

Sava · May 10, 2003, 13:40

I think it's kind of lame, but if you guys want to do it, I'll offer my support. But please... do GIF's or JPG's because I'm terribly lazy and won't download any other format. If this happens, I'm starting a Sava party.

Odin · May 10, 2003, 19:59

How about a Greenie Comunist Party, with a green background instead of red.

Spiffor · May 10, 2003, 20:08

I love Straybrow's suggestions

Not too many parties people. Don't forget the only significant parties in the OT are the CPA and the AECCP

H Tower · May 10, 2003, 22:40

orange, something must be wrong with your browser, .bmps do not show up as pictures on the internet

Az · May 11, 2003, 02:54

I like Straybow's icons. They're more simplistic.

and

on the idea. It's about fricking time. heck, even such a marginal and insignificant group as the Mac users got their own icon.

DrSpike · May 11, 2003, 07:51

It's a dumb idea..............people will just try and join ludicrous parties so that they can be only member and have a unique icon..............very much like the equally pointless flags, since most don't use their correct one.
