The result of the debate was choose the Kuat Systems Engineering logo for the GA box on the Main Page. 1358 (Talk) 09:46, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Hey everyone,

Different sections on our Main Page are represented by 20px version of images. Quote of the Day uses [[File:Wp-qotd.png]] (comlink), Random article uses [[File:Wp-random.png]] (chance cube), etc. The Featured article uses Wp-wotmfa, the Blastech industries logo. We copied that image over when we put up the Good article queue a few months ago.

So, here's a pretty simple CT --- a proposal to give the Main Page's "Good article" its own image. No one seemed interested in discussing the matter, so I'll just start a vote on the image I proposed: the Tendrando Arms logo, as it would be thematically nice to have both the FA and the GA use the logo of an arms manufacturer. Unfortunately, I can't post a 20px preview of the good-quality vector version since it's an SVG file, but here's the jpeg: Tendrando Arms Logo. A little bit of whitespace could be cropped from each side to make it bigger. Menkooroo (talk) 00:00, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

Shoot. I was going to nominate Sierpinski's triangle, but it's a starship manufacturer. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 04:20, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
  • Hmmmmm I kinda like that one. Make it a voting option! Menkooroo (talk) 04:21, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
  1. Because I like this one better. The Kuat logo is a bit boring IMO. And I'm a rebel (not to be confused with Rebel). —MJ— War Room Thursday, September 20, 2012, 01:01 UTC
  2. Yeah... KSE's boring. Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 01:06, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

  13. I'm not really a huge fan of either of these, but I suppose this is better than the alternatives. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 01:18, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

Cybot Galactica Cybot Galactica

  1. My vote's for this one, since it looks kind of like a baby-sized version of the FA icon we use, and because they made C-3PO. OK, Anakin made C-3PO. But they made the parts. ~SavageBOB sig 00:24, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
  2. Even though Kuat can has triforce, Cybot Galactica looks like scissors. And we need more scissors. Trak Nar Ramble on 05:55, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Don't change the icon at all

Meh

  • Menk, if you recall, I showed you an image that was meant to be the GA icon. I should try and find it again. JangFett (Talk) 00:16, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
    • I think you mentioned you had one in mind but never showed me an actual image. Feel free to add it as a voting option if you have it ready. Menkooroo (talk) 03:53, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
      • Nope, I showed you an image. :P JangFett (Talk) 22:56, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
  • Maybe the CT could be expanded a bit: Have one vote to choose some icon, then maybe have a few others to choose from? I, personally, would like to see a starship or droid manufacture used instead of a weapons company, but it's really not that big of a deal. But maybe we should do something akin to Mr. and Mrs. Star Wars, with a ton of options and people able to vote for as many as they like. Or is that too much hassle? ~SavageBOB sig 22:39, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
    • That was what I hoped would happen in the SH thread, but since no one responded after two weeks, I figured they weren't too interested. Menkooroo (talk) 22:59, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
      • Well, that's prolly because it's just a vote on the Tendrando Arms icon, which would naturally get a "sure, why not" response. In any other image choice vote we've had, I remmber there being several options, generating debate and opinions. We have a whole category for logos and we have categories for companies that is further subdivided into whatever kinds of company you want, so why not format this vote to be a competition? NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 01:01, September 14, 2012 (UTC)
        • Go for it! In fact, I've already encouraged you to do so above. :P The point of the SH thread was to get as many choices on the table as possible, but better late than never. Menkooroo (talk) 03:53, September 14, 2012 (UTC)
          • We're going to need more than two, though, and if I pick the others, they'll only reflect my taste. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 16:37, September 14, 2012 (UTC)
