I went with the last one. The flag makes it pretty clear, but it's also a real-life shot and not just a flag.

I choose #4, Trumpet Guy. I'd prefer to have an icon that emphasizes the collective effort of the people of Korea. Plus, trumpet fanfares and all.

Is there any point in doing this?
I get the feeling that Fox is gonna pick what Fox is gonna pick.

I don't really know. It at least opens up some discussion I guess.
I like Fox's ideas anyway and it is his site afterall. This is still fun regardless. I don't regret burning my bridges. I regret that some people weren't on those bridges when I burned them.

Yeah his choices have been fine and it's his prerogative to do what he wants.
I was just wondering. I picked the first one in any case. I still like the faces idea, but I don't get the feeling that SF feels the same - too divisive maybe.

Socialism is, after all, in opposition to the Great Man Theory. I do feel, however, that some random images of proletarians would be more appropriate, especially in the case of DPRK, than some massive Stalinist architectural marvel.

Either I forgot, or nobody told me about these polls.
Regarding the images, none of the above are actually usable as they are because they've had black borders added (it would get cut off at the corners and look strange in browsers other than IE version 8 and lower).

I can redo them with no black. I only did that because they were examples and the black looked better against the background color on here. Neater.
The polls were mostly for fun, anyway. No one here really agrees on anything. I don't regret burning my bridges. I regret that some people weren't on those bridges when I burned them.
