I thank you friend.

The text legibility is probably the main issue, but even besides that it's still pretty plain at the moment.

I feel like the text needs to scale a little to fill the right and bottom of the tag a bit more.

Okay, I bumped the font size up one notch higher and turned off anti-aliasing. How's this?



It's a bit tricky to get the bottom, since the | character hangs lower than the other letters.

I might just go with another font entirely in the end.

Why is it on a black backgorund? It's a simulwatch, so maybe like, text over a clockface? I don't know how easy that would be to get across in such a small space tho

It's mimicking text on a terminal as its theme. It's pretty much a placeholder at this point though.

I'm not sure how to apply most of these to a thread outside of whatever show or in-joke they came out of so it's nice to see a couple useful ones (I'm also counting the hentai tag :v: )

Yeah.

While ultimately everyone's entitled to vote for whatever they please, I'll be honest and say I'd prefer it if people kept in mind the prospective shelf life for some of these.

Just my opinion though. Whatever wins wins, except by admin fiat.

v3:

I fiddled with cutting off the hanging bottom for the | and shifted its position at the beginning at end so it was more symmetrical. I also added in a bit of a border.

I liked v2 more, personally. I thought the empty space looked fine, and the long pipe character looked better. But that's just me.

I like these.

What's the BAPS reference I'm missing?

Also, I'm not an artist, but these were my best attempts:









Can't decide which is best.

I was tempted to replace the text with "phallus" or "metaphor" and keep the drill so the tag would be more obviously general for those not-so-subtle-about-their-metaphors anime, but the text takes a lot of effort. :effort: If someone likes that more, I'll do it though.

Here's another much lower effort one:



Also, these aren't mine, but they'd be a shame if no one posted them:

Gimp is probably the most popular free photo editing software. It's what I use.

Josuke Higashikata

Gimp or Paint.net should be able to do it, but that file's in kind of a weird file size that it's quite hard to resize it without losing a lot of the details because it's close to the correct horizontal resolution but quite a bit too tall.

You'd probably be best off remaking it from scratch.

e: Also has a poo poo tonne of frames which doesn't help with keeping the filesize low but that's not a huge issue.

Haruhi is great and all, and I love the idea of just using her key colors rather than an actual image, but how many Haruhi, or even KyoAni, threads do we have to justify it?

seems like the best submission so far. It's likely to see actual use, is classy, and has sub-forum crossover potential for D&D threads on gender politics in the Middle East.
