Thanks Charles for letting me know! So, if anybody is willing to adopt it, please do so!

Personally, I won’t need this, but your logo is waaaaaaaay coooooooool, so I’m going to download the pack anyway.

In case you’re curious, here is the original writeup by Rocky Oliver announcing SnTT: http://www.lotusgeek.com/SapphireOak/LotusGeekBlog.nsf/d6plinks/ROLR-6LYJEG . Scott Good did the original logo for his own blog, and other people started using it. There was never anything official about it, like SnTT itself isn’t “official”.

Thanks, Nathan! Illustrator was the tool, and I used a stock image as starting point. And you’re right, I did notice that there was something unnatural about the image, but I couldn’t put my finger on it :-S. So, I adjusted it and went to the process of rescaling and conversion all over again.

Martin, what did you do this in? The one thing that I suspect would make a difference would be to put the right hand of the stick figure BEHIND the tower. Then it would look like he was reaching behind and holding on to the tower, like King Kong did.

But I love the line art, man.

Tx Martin,
I changed my recent SnTT entries, so they now show your new (100px wide) logo.

Stephan, I added different sizes in an attempt to satisfy everybody :-). See updated zipfile and article for details.

A little smaller would be good. 120px width?
Until then I’ll use your current one.

@Peter: could be useful for those who want a minimalistic approach, thankx!
@Bill: yippie, glad you like it!
@Theo: what size do you suggest? Making it too small isn’t a good idea either, because you loose too much detail then. What about 150*217? Would that be ok? If so, I can add it to the download pack.

Martin, Indeed, the ‘old’ logo wasn’t cute. I do like your suggestion a lot, but even the smaller version takes up way to much space. If it’s OK by you, I’ll make it smaller and start using it. You could make 2 versions: one with a tie, and one with a necklace

While I agree that the current logo could be better, I’ve used a SnTT button instead lately. I first noticed Julian using it, so I thought I’d use it as well. http://www.nsftools.com/blog/blog-12-2007.htm#12-20-07
