Are there any good generic October Revolution pics or posters that can be cropped and used? I feel like that would work better than revolutionary leaders.

I guess the thing is that the faces idea was a way of creating a moderate amount of controversy and discussion.
Generic images are probably more likely to be acceptable to everyone though. I don't know ... do we want discussion or unanimity? (That's something for the mods to decide I suppose.)

Someone photoshopped Paul the Soccer Octopus! The other image has been my desktop theme for about 10 years now.

How is a banner your wallpaper?? I don't regret burning my bridges. I regret that some people weren't on those bridges when I burned them.

I banner-sized it for use a long time ago, then forgot to include it. The original should be here.
Also, Paul the Soccer Octopus. Miss Strangelove: "You feed giants laxatives so goblins can mine their poop before the gnomes get to it."

It's slightly creepy haha.

I'm not sure if it's just for me, but the the only image in the OP which is showing up is Red Daughter's aristocrats.
This was a suggestion for LWHC ![]() ![]()

Very nice image Shig, but it's kind of hard to make out the action when it gets downsized. Faces are probably the best idea for thumbnails that tiny because they simply survive the downsizing much easier than more abstract images.

Yeah faces are best.
We're just wired to see and recognize faces really easily - even when there isn't one. Unfortunately the identity of the faces is something of a divisive issue. I still think the respective leaders (i.e. Stalin, Mao, Castro ..etc) would suit the various national forums - size being the consideration that it is.

Well, it makes sense. It's hard to relate to something that you can't see "eye to eye" with, so we do tend to anthropomorphize objects as well as animals. I mean, an earthworm has no eyes, yet you would hardly see a cartoon version of one in a children's story book being drawn without them. It would be too upsetting to them at that age.

I think that would be good for LWHC. Alternatively, we could use Stakhanov for that one or something that represents the Stakhanovite campaign for LWHC. For example, this pic: ![]() Or somebody could edit/resize this one: Chthonic171 wrote: Would it be possible to put DPRK to a vote first before proceeding further? I think we got enough icons to vote for on that one. Sorry for multiple edits, but seeing the pic that Shig posted suddenly turned on some light bulbs. Just some suggestions. My feelings won't be hurt if no one agrees. Last edited by Komissar_KW on 26 Sep 2011, 22:38, edited 1 time in total.

My Photoshop skills are zero. I leave Chthonic in charge of everything, with orders to asplode KW if all else fails.
