Here's the one I submitted earlier without textures. http://www.cyberramp.net/~njp//ft/encyc2.jpg This weekend, if I get a chance, I'm going to try and add a semi-transparent background image of something FT related. If it works out I'll post it. > -----Original Message-----

This was more to show what the new GZG logo looks like than propose a design, its a very similar style to this. Raised metal text on a block lozenge with raised border. > http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Station/3565/gzgeg.gif The rationale was that if we follow similar graphic design to GZG products then it would look more part of the same stable. Anyway the actual content is more important.

> Why? I still fail to see the attraction of Faktos. Its to do with product recognition and branding use the same font and your products get better recognition as coming from the same stable as the other products. The same for logo usage etc.

> Why? I still fail to see the attraction of Faktos. One slight problem with this. The project is unofficial. Therefore we have no right to attempt to use "product recognition and branding". In fact, it could be considered illegal. For my own personal preference... I think the font is a bit old hat. That's just personal preference, folks!

> One slight problem with this. The project is unofficial. Nobody in GZG has shot their fan sites yet (unlike Viacom) and we all have the same fonts, colors and logos (some direct scans) as the GZG products, all over the place! If there had been a problem I think something would have been said by now. Yes its unofficial and that should be plain either in the title (Unoffical GZG Encyclopedia Galatica) or on each page.
