Dear all, I edit a free, internet distributed publication called PowerPC News. It goes out every fortnight and we have around 10,000 readers now. It is sent by mail and is growing by around 150 subscribers a day. The problem? It would be really nice to have some form of banner for the top of the publication. Something that says, in no uncertain terms 'PowerPC New'. The other problem, I'm about as artistic as ... well, a very unartistic thing. I've had a tinker but all my efforts are dreadful I was wondering whether any of the artistes here might have a bash for me. I have nothing to offer but my gratitude, but your ascii artwork will end up in quite a few people's E-mail baskets. The spec? less that 76 characters wide, and not too many lines deep. I'd like to keep it less than 6 lines if possible (perhaps just the word PowerPC then?) Oh, and anyone who wants to see the newletter itself, send a piece of mail (contents ignored) to ad...@power.globalnews.com Don't worry, its easy to get *off* the list again by mailing rem...@power.globalnews.com. Thanks in advance. Chris Rose. Editor, PowerPC News.

A whole slew of possible logos for PowerPC News.
First off a pair of logos based off of a Times/Roman font.

A pair of less interesting logos, but they look good in just about any
monospace font.

This seemed like a good idea at the time. Its bigger than you wanted, but
it is very distinctive. (It also looks good on almost every system.)

A pair of your basic names, the second one looks better in my opinion.

Well, somewhere in here has got to be something you like. (Or maybe not.)
Even if you hate all of these if one of these gives you a good idea I'll
consider it a success.

Many thanks, and to scarecrow too. As you say I'm spoiled for choice. Perhaps I could change the banner each issue :-) I appreciate the time you both put in I'll let you know which one I choose (I rather like the Inverse one actually) I presume you wouldn't mind a little credit somewhere? All the best Chris R.

Yes. Just a little credit. Say, my name, repeated over and over covering 2-3 screens in the middle of the issue? Okay, how about in the first issue it runs a little note: "Created by <Bob Allison/Alan De Smet>" That would for me (and Scarecrow I bet.) -- Alan De Smet cha...@yar.cs.wisc.edu Mostly (But not entirely) Harmless
