Votes For:

 * 1) I like the logo as it is. The only thing I would want to do is maybe change the font of the text, but I don't necessarily thing we should get a brand new logo. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 15:54, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

I like that, but is there any way you can upload a version where the background is transparent? --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 18:09, December 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have PAINT.net, but I don't know how to use transparency with it. I'll look into it. --Norman Average 18:13, December 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done it. --Norman Average 18:19, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

Comments
From a quick observation, I have noticed that the image isn't transparant. What editing software do you use? GEORGIE GIBBONS  talk contributions 19:34, December 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * I use paint. I think I found the problem. I'm going to check. BobNewbie talk •  blog 19:41, December 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * From what I understand, paint can't produce transparent images. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 21:07, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

The green text is hard to read at 250px width because the words appear to run together. Dharden (talk) 22:38, December 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fron looking at the Wikipedia article, Paint does not support transparancy in GIF or PNG files (it is known as "alpha channel" in PNG). I suggest using GIMP, which is basically a free version of Photoshop and it supports transparancy/alpha channel in PNG files. GEORGIE  GIBBONS  talk contributions 16:24, December 10, 2010 (UTC)
