    [​IMG] Man, -anything- but the NWN script. It may be that I just haven't "gotten into it" yet, or don't have the information yet to feel okay about the old lawsuit (which broke the Black Isle/BioWare team) but for the time being, if I am reminded of the game every time I come to SP, it's going give me a bad feeling. I voted for #3, (third from the top), which appears to be the current font... does this really need to change?

    Not that SP&CGM are exactly comparable... but judging from that publication's recent anorexia (owing a dearth of advert pages?), their cover change in June 2001--ironically, featuring Aribeth--was not so well recieved.

    This is not a "grim warning" about font changes, just... I noticed which one is winning the poll and just felt that this position needed voicing.

    I hope this doesn't make me unpopular here, as this is only my third or fourth post. Please let me know where I am wrong or if there are people out there who agree.

    Anyone agreeing? looks to me as there are currently 13 people who agree with you on number three. Yup thats what the poll says.

    If people get mad at you, then its because they are afraid of a talking mushroom :1eye:

    Heh heh. More specifically I was wondering about the dis-ease over #2, and even more specifically its relation to the lawsuit and break-up. If it was merely a font question, with no issues attached, and no semi-political opinions expressed, I wouldn'ta been so wary.

    Thanks for the welcome BTW. Scared of a talking mushroom... HA! (He is pretty cool, isn't he?!) :D

    [​IMG] My vote went for #5. It's strict and good looking at the same time.
    As the runner-up I'd pick #3 which brings a nice touch of calligraphy and it avoids falling into a fantasy cliché.

    #2 is truly horrible. It looks very amateurish.

    [​IMG] I guess I'm part of the majority here; I also can't wait for those random backgrounds, b/c it seems pretty creative on Tal's part.

    Oh, I totally forgot about this poll. Actually, this has been decided on already, the winner is #3. I've already made more than 20 random logos with it. ;)

    I'm also making good progress on the redesign as a whole. Basically all I need to do now is convert 500+ html pages to it. Ouch...

    p.s. Tal, is there anywhere you can download the NWN font? And while I'm looking for things, is there a script for the D&D Geeks skit?

    Numbers 1, 3 and 5 and a bit too plain, I think. Not enough spice nor magic. Number 2 is messy and not very legible, looks like a child has scribbled it. Number 4 is the one I like best.

    Oops. Just read your post about choosing #3 already.. too late :)

    Actually now that I see you using it (It *is* #3 isn't it?) ... it looks quite nice!

    [​IMG] Thanks, Tal. I've been trying a bunch of different sites now, and...*sees everyone in library staring at him* ...oops, better shut my trap now.....

    Edit-err, what NWN/Misc subsection :hmm: Please don't hurt me if you're getting frustrated from my incessant irksome queries!

    [EDIT] Ohhhh :jawdrop: , the Miscellanea section in NWN! O.K., I thought it meant something else
