I've been roaming sarcastic gamer for a few weeks now and have been constantly greeted by the above image as a title to the forums.

It has been said a few times that the SG team are great entertainers, however lack the graphics skills.

I wanted to help out and threw this together... I'd like to make more, only if it's welcome.

It's all ready, should just replace the existing one.

Should I continue?

Thanks! We actually have a new logo made, but we're waiting on the creator to give it to us with a transparent background, so we can use it on the site. Once that happens, the dreaded "our community" image will be gone! :p

Ah ha!
So thats why the main page title image is practically blank.

Cool, good to see it's sorted. If I come up with anything else I'll casually drop it in the forums.

I'm excited to see what you have come up with. :D

Thanx guys.

Well... I like it bettter than what we had before but I really don't like where the words are on his head. It makes it look like he has a weird hair cut or something... but yeah... its a lot better than before.. moving on up!

Heh. I can't even get close to that, so I'm happy with what anyone's willing to make us.

When is the new forum image you had made going up?

I agree with the hair thing... More like a judge's wig thingo. Don't think its a good spot.

I think that the image is a bit 'cookie cutter' and needs more of a modern feel. Sarcastic gamer is getting quite of a lot of attention now, a lot of casual viewers and smart graphics (in my own experience) will hold the attention of a casual browser long enough to read the articles... Where a default template or MSPAINT title will be the opposite.
More views, more traffic and the bigger you grow.
The general populous are monkeys, whores for a flashing light, shiny things and can be very lazy... Entertain them!

I do however like how its a quick summery of the site, I gives a rundown of what your about.

I like where you guys are going with this; I especially like the podcasts you are producing... I love listening to talk radio, but there is none around here that cater for my interests.

Keep up the good content and I'm excited to see what SG grows into.

Well, if the readers don't like the logo, come up with something else. All serious submissions will be considered. If we like it better than what we have now, maybe we'll change it.
