big_boss_nass posted:I just want to say that I was here when the Tucson Fan Force was first started and I didn't agree with the "Icon" and "Name" when they were first proposed and voted on. Since there are new members I thought I may post a new topic about this. First the Icon. I think it's absoutly terrible, the Arizona Flag in the background with a Sandtrooper in the middle. First of all, the Sandtrooper is a guy that used to post on these boards but no longer does, so I don't think it belongs in that regard, besides being an ugly eye sore, that nobody wants under their username. I don't have photoshop and I don't make icons. However, if someone here does make icons, maybe they can design some new ones that we can all vote on. If not maybe we can enlist some help from someone in the Comms Forum. Agree? Disagree? Second of all, Tucson is called the "Two Suns Fan Force" well if you ask me "Twin Suns Fan Force" sounds much better, or maybe even something completly different that we can all vote on. I know it's not a big deal, but still... The Banner. I don't know who created the banner and I don't want to hurt any feelings but I am going to give my take on this as well. First off, I really like all of the Text that was used, Espically in the word "Tucson". However there is a big space between the T and the U for some reason and it's just weird to look at. The Tusken Raider and Luke look blurry and like they were just dropped on the Banner, they don't add any depth or detail. Also the SandCrawler is crushing the City. I was hoping maybe we could all design something and have someone that uses photoshop put it all together for us. Just an Idea. Let me know what you think
Zedd posted: The icon that you are talking about can be found on Vangarian. I don't know how to go about changing it, but I imagine it wouldn't be that hard to do. Nobody except Vangarian uses it, and he only recently made it so. If anyone has any ideas about what they want it to look like, I can see what I can do. As Hal mentioned, the name is supposed to be a pun. Even though 'Twin Suns' sounds better, I have noticed that 'Two Suns' works better when you're talking about the group to people unfamiliar with all the nerdy details of Star Wars, namely, Tatooine's suns. They usually can pick up that Two Suns is a pun for Tucson, and so it's just easier than explaining about the name's origin. I made the banner, and don't worry, I'm not offended. My original design didn't really have any of the Star Wars stuff, so when people asked me to geek it up, I did just plop a few things in there. I could try and spend more time on some of the images and try to make it look a liottle nicer around the edges. The Sandcrawler, well, I can take it out or move it somewhere else if anyone has any ideas. I *might* be able to fix the T ucson thing, but that's just how the word comes out in that font (notice that Two Suns is the same way). Thanks for the input!
