Still, I've got something to show you all. Here's a sketch I did of what I think of when I refer to 'comic book' style, as opposed to the cell-shaded Borderlands look seen on the Wiki: http://www.sunmachine.coop/ubuntu/sketch_01_thumb.png The logo is based off Cory's, though it is still using my font imitation, so the 'o' is different. Imagine this properly inked and colored, and you get the idea. This particular image would probably be more useful for a Plymouth splash or GTK theme as opposed to website imagery, but I think it gets the point across. Also, I don't think the DIY idea needs to look cluttered or gimmicky. Take a look at the graphic in the upper left of Mozilla's site: http://www.mozilla.org/ That conveys a DIY feel, with the paint strokes, but still looks simple and slick. I'll try to come up with a mock-up of the more simple, shiny slick button theme in a few days. Let me know what you all think. -- -Brian David
