You may have noticed that I recently (accidentally) deleted the picture of Rachel and Jeff from the header, and his seems like a good opportunity for the long overdue creation of an official C4C logo. I know plenty of you are artistically minded and could easily outdo anything I can produce, so this is your chance to shine. You're welcome to submit original designs, collaborate, or adjust other people's submissions; it's a completely open group process.
The current default "logo" is 139x52, but I think anything up to 64px high and more or less any width will be fine; we can replace the header text if your logo incorporates sufficient information.
The winner of the contest will be announced at 23:59 on 31 July.
Go!

Maybe someone could do nice graphics for each of the sub-forums as well.
Also the graphic that means "you have read all the topics in this forum" is fucked on proSilver.

I prefer it to look tabulated. Of course you probably have no red ones cos all you ever do is refresh the home page.

Where the red icons were there is now just gap. I definitely prefer it. Like so:  The only gayness is the elsewhere-mentioned too-small Events icon. Next stop Jagged Central:

Next stop Jagged Central:  What I mean is, where you have two nice reds and then two nice gaps, I have like, a red and a gap in one box, then two reds and three gaps and it just looks untidy to me. Agree about the events logo though. I've lost my dodgy copy of Photoshop so I probably won't even be able to enter the competition.

He could announce it during the hypothetical really great somethings.

As long as he's told us that that's when voting closes and after that time our votes* [*read his vote] won't count but we may still be charged he's in the clear, isn't he?

Suspect Charlie would be in line for a letter from the offices of Channel 4 for using the logo, despite utterances everywhere else that there is no affiliation or officialness.
