It's made by the same artist. It actually explains the site purpose. It's pretty good.

It would be kinda cool if everyone gave input to what the top image could be, like some kind of mascot or symbol thought up by everyone! But I wonder what would suit this site...?

11 Name: Random Anonymous 2006-01-04 02:54 ID:20ZB2Fbe

I like the top image just fine as it is.

If anyone was up for it, an uploader or imageboard could be set up where people submit their entries. No instant-uploading board like the iichan banner boards, those sucked. As did the old 4-ch board.

( ´ω`) You have to ask?

Orz isn't dated. No one will date orz, that is why he is orz.

I second the motion to Grandpa, if it must be changed, but I think that the design now is already

I'd be willing to make some different homepage images. But what original memes / characters do we have other than Grandpa & Junior?

A couple of font tests I did today. I personally like the first, but the second is more readable.

Yes they're ugly, they're just tests. Here's another:

I'll redo a clean, non-fugly version from scratch using the same font and "little guys and text balloons" idea, unless the thread convinces me either is a bad idea.

Personally I prefer the first set, this one looks too busy.

26 Name: Random Anonymous 2006-02-04 18:24 ID:JR75D8Bi

The designs in >>23 and >>24 have one critical flaw that's unrelated to technical execution; they lack personality. 4-ch is supposed to be a fun place, so something representing 4-ch should have a lot of personality, no?
Also, for some reason my mind is relating them with indie game development and I have absolutely no idea why.

27 Name: Random Anonymous 2006-02-04 20:07 ID:Bq0GJOMF

>they lack personality.

I agree.

>something representing 4-ch

Junior and Grandpa are beyond my skill to flesh out into a full illustration, and although Needler Hall may be a 4-ch idea AFAIK the ASCII art isn't original to 4-ch. Hopefully someone with more skill or better ideas will come along.

28 Name: !iLove5X52g 2006-02-04 20:38 ID:7BIipP0U

I am all for a new top page image, honestly I do think we need something with less personality? Or at least less anime looking probably :(

>>21
Well these aren't bad! >>22 is confusing though. Also I think the "-" in 4-ch needs to be worked in, since that is part of the URL.

I thought about grandpa, but I have no idea what his body looks like, or how to draw him as anything but a face. The very first image I did for thise site was a vector based logo with a monar face, maybe I could re-work that with grandpa's face!

I posted a design?

Yes, you did. Pay attention.

31 Name: Random Anonymous 2006-02-05 02:10 ID:Bq0GJOMF

Aside from the people that are happy with the current image, it looks like people are looking for something:

1) simple
2) fun
3) original

A 4-ch mascot would be the answer to all three. I personally don't think Junior and Grandpa fit the bill. Although we are based on 2ch and a good portion of the site is JPN-oriented, do we want the representation for the whole site to be JPN-oriented as well? Or do we need a from the ground up original mascot, a la Wakaba-chan?
