So let's just say that one day we get a snazzy new layout. It's totally perfect: light text on dark background, helvetica for the font, gorgeous banner...the works.

What would be std's new slogan?

Last time I tried to move from "Pavel Chekov Wears Rocket Ship Underoos" there was GREAT UPROAR.

HOWEVER.

I thing "Gotta Ship 'Em All" would be appropriate.

I like the idea of it - especially the font.

This might be hard to pull off, and I know nothing about graphic design, but would it be possible to add some of the other awesome doodles we've inspired? Since the underoos are already our icon- I'm specifically thinking of some of Pixy's doodles here - http://community.livejournal.com/startrek_diary/8677.html#cutid1

Does that make sense?

dunno how comfortable you are with photoshop but if you're not I can help with banner-y things. photoshop is my bitch.

also if people want more doodles i may have some that I haven't posted and also can do more. since i seriously doodle startrek like 70% of the time lately.

Please give input and let me know what people want! Feel free to be as specific and picky as you want. font is an approximation since I didn't know what the one emmy used was. it can be changed out for anything obvs. also the slogan, I just subbed in the old one since we have no consensus on a new one/if we want a new one.

Uh...what would one think of besides the Greek play (or the character that inspired it)? I mean, I think of that combined with the name of my journal, but I'm pretty sure that thinking "Oh, Diomedea Exulans" is even geekier.

Heee, cute. I love that! I was partially responsible for the STD musical discussion that inspired that.

I love this a lot. The only comment I have is that with the dark background, it kinda doesn't mesh. Is there a boarder or something we could use? Maybe make it look like something someone would paste into their diary?
