Favicon?

That actually looks pretty good. I have no clue (even though it looks familiar) where that's actually from (I probably should know, unless it was only meant for JamminR??). Anyways, I think I have one more example:

The U is a lot thicker here.

Might be too thick now that I think of it...

[JamminR]

Well, I've enlarged Meg's a bit using irfanview, and, no, I can't really tell where from.
I'd guess some school..the typeface seems like an ordinary new roman font or something.
Not a font I really like, and, my opinion, the width of the actual lines that make the U are too wide.
There's not enough space in the center of Meg's or your last Decicus...they run together in the center.
A good example that I like is the U from our www.ulyssesmod.net page, which, I thought Decicus had used as a basis.

Not much else to do in the weekend, is it?

Anyways, I tried to make it less thick, but still a bit wide. I actually used the font for the subtitle of the front page (the one that says "A collection of Garry's Mod addons", at least I think I found the right one). Not that the font is really visible, but still:

Mr. President is correct, I just screen shotted ulyssesmod.net and took a U from the "ULX" in the news title.

I really like your latest one Decicus, what do you think Mr. P and JamminR?

[MrPresident]

I'd say it matches the style from the main page pretty well. I would just try and match the color scheme too. I'm not a huge fan of the dark background. Maybe even a transparent background with a dark letter would look nice.

[Decicus]

I will give that a shot, MrPresident. Maybe that will in fact look better (if I can make a good example).

Congratulations with 1337 posts, as well!

So is this similar to what you had in mind, MrPresident?


It's simple, and just a dark letter with a transparent bg.

[JamminR]

I can barely see that U. (I don't use light background for my web surfing, so transparent makes it dark on dark..

Meg, not sure MrPresident guessed it.
I think he was just being snarky about our font analyzing.
I know I guessed it though.
Do I get a free copy now?

What about the other one I posted before that?

[JamminR]

Oh, sorry, missed that Meg asked.
I like it.
It's wide in the center area, and bold enough for the letter lines themselves.

(and now that I look back, I didn't guess...*sigh* I wanted my free copy prize)

[Megiddo]

So which one do you think we should use out of what's been proposed, JamminR and Mr. P?

[MrPresident]

Personally I'm not a fan of the last few that Decicus posted. The lettering is too thin and the U is too wide. (in my opinion)

The one I like best is the one Megiddo posted. The screen capture from the front page.

If you wish, I can re-create that with the font and all. Alternatively, you could just use that. It's up to you.

Sorry for running your ragged Decicus!

Could you modify the one I posted from the homepage? Remove the horizontal "caps" at the top of the U, put in the shadow in place, and make it the correct dimensions (16x16)? I'm leaning towards that one too, and since it it, after all, taken from the homepage it should help offer a sense of unity.
