So...This look ok?

Let's have a hammer and sickle instead.

Octavian X · October 22, 2003, 02:01

eh, fine with me.

GeneralTacticus · October 22, 2003, 04:07

Anything but that damn hammer and sickle.

Phenix · October 22, 2003, 08:06

Why not? I like the hammer&sickle idea

Drogue · October 22, 2003, 15:16

Personally I'd go for an iron fist.

As for that, it looks good, but the G on PSG seems thinner and sharper than the other letters, that are all slightly blended. The S a little too.

Though I'm fine with anything

I like the yin-yang image that Maniac has as his avatar. It will fit nicely too since he is our General Secretary.

Maniac · October 22, 2003, 16:32

Method, your icon would be good, though like Drogue says, the lower letters are somewhat blurrier compared to the above two "AC". Any idea what's causing that?

Drogue, what iron fist icon would you prefer of the picture below? What would you make the background colour (or keep the current pink)?

Or did you have another iron fist in mind?

Another possibility might be a shrunked down version of the Doc:Loy icon:

Colours could be changed of course to match those of other DG and PBEM civicons:

Method · October 22, 2003, 17:27

just remember that these have to be 15x19 pixels...which will make that stuff look pretty crappy. i'm just keeping in the theme of the rest of the DG icons.

i know exactly what's causing it. i erased "DG" from the old icon and put in "PSG". no doubt i'm using a different font, but it's pretty hard to tell with it being so small.

Nubclear · October 22, 2003, 23:16

I was going to suggest an iron fist, but then I remembered...Theres some strange team in some Civ3DG that has the same thing.
So a hammer-and-sickle would go fine

GeneralTacticus · October 23, 2003, 02:50

The iron fist (or the Yin/Yang symbol) would fit the Hive ethos perfectly; the same cannot be said of the hammer & sickle.

Nubclear · October 23, 2003, 03:16

The Hive is a communal utopia

And it's also a symbol of despotism. And by definition, a police state is a despotism

Drogue · October 23, 2003, 17:01

Any of the iron fists (although I like the black) with the usual AC icon background IMHO would be good. As would a yin yang. I think the iron fist is the best IMHO, as it represents the DG well without being too plain

we didn't use the PK logo for the first game...

Method · October 23, 2003, 17:31

oh BTW...if you want the iron fist or yin yang, then you can

MAK YOUR OWN F***ING TAG

jtsisyoda · October 23, 2003, 19:51

Go Method!

Nubclear · October 23, 2003, 23:16

Fine!

FlameFlash · October 24, 2003, 10:05

I liked Methods'...

Snowflake · October 24, 2003, 12:28

Maniac, give your yin yang image to Method will you?

But ASPSG is so....bland

We need something obscure, something that we would all be proud to wear

Drogue · October 24, 2003, 17:11

WTF?

I'm all for an Iron Fst, as a symbol of a police state, but I would refrain from any obvious Communist symnbols, as we're not all communists.

If in doubt go for a simple ACPSG one, but personally, I think the iron fist says it all.
