Squeaky Posters


Support Squeaky!


I thought it would be cool to use the symbol for Open Source to represent Squeaky. There's also the dual meaning of "openness" with the userbase that I'm hoping to convey here. But I'm sure there's plenty of creative folks that can come up good alternatives.

ETA: Squeaky likes the poster, but asked me to make an icon. I'm just not an icon wizard. This was the best I could do:





I'll leave it up to more artistic folks to run with the idea.

Maybe we could use the opensource symbol as a cutout from the smileyface of squeaky.

Squeaky likes the poster, but I think he really wants a userpic. These were the best I could do:





I'm just not an icon wizard, so I'll leave it up to the more creative folks to make one if these aren't good enough.

Something about that icon just makes me laugh. :x I like it, though.

I don't really like the use of that particular matte. It makes it feel too gimmicky, as if we aren't actually serious.

Considering that part of squeaky's rationale is, in fact, keeping the codebase open and accessible, the "gimmick" seem to fit. But it works better as an icon, IMHO.

But please feel free to share your alternatives!

Yeah! As it stands now, it looks like he's got a pretty good shot at it.
