BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

How’s this for a header?

Awesome!

That’s pretty cool, how’d you make it?

PowerPoint Autoshapes, would you believe.

never heard of that, I may have to investigate it. I’m into making banners and such.

Is this dynasty ‘The Fourth Metadynasty’ or ‘The First Metadynasty of Rodlen’?

From reading over all of this stuff, I think that it’s just another mess of different interpretations, but from what I see it as, it’s “The First Metadynasty of Rodlen”.

I tried my hand at making one. I’m pretty happy, all things considered.

oops… Sorry, double post. Stupid internet messing up.

Just one opinion: Lets not make the header tooooo big, can we please?

Oh, and I have a question for someone more experienced in the blog: Could we make a different style of post that is user selectable, so that we can distinguish amongst faction proposals and other stuff?

We need a new imperial seal.

I made an imperial seal.

For the benefit of those of us who access the site through iPhones and such, make the top banner as small a file and as narrow as practicable.

So which banner do you prefer? Oze’s or Syl’s?

Voting is now open.

I like Syl’s.

i like syls cause then we don’t have to get up in arms on this metadynasty’s number lol. and DC epic seal man

Thank you, Darknight.

I’d like Syls, but we will have to take the background color into account. Maybe we should make it white and modify the banner so that it looks like split up or broken?

Perhaps fading out around the edges?

I think it’s supposed to stand out against the background.

Syl says she’ll make a new version with faded edges.

I like Oze’s because it offers a different visual style for each of the three.

But it needs to be shrunk.

Here’s my version with faded edges.

Cool. Needs to be smaller of course but i like it

Better? I’m enjoying messing around in GIMP. Heh.

Nice effort Syl, but Oze’s is the one to go with. It captures the early flavor of each faction perfectly.

Well, maybe.

I mean we don’t even know what the flavor of BLO will be yet, other than that it will likely include snowboards, injuries, and Mount Doom.

What? BLO sounds full of flavor already!

BLO is about randomness.

I will become a Pufferfish on Monday. I did the wrong thing becoming a Gnomiard.

The seal works well.  Oze’s header is great, but needs to be smaller.

Why exactly do you think Oze’s is better than Syl’s?

As said, it has more of the flavour of each faction.  Maybe the text of Oze’s on the background of Syl’s would work best.

I talked to Syl. She agrees.

Do you want the Micese flag from Oze’s to be on the finished banner?

Sure.

And make the letter of BLO more random looking (and dangerous too maybe?)

I can’t really do that, and currently, I need Oze’s text on a transparent background to put it on the background. >_< I’ve been trying to get the text off… It doesn’t work so well.

Background and fading the edges is done, just needing text. ^_^ Now to make Christmas presents while I wait

Rodlen, you can’t edit comments!

Rodlen plans to make a fourth faction called EEB, after he repeals the G-Man rule! I posted about this in an actual post, but Rodlen edited it and eventually deleted it!

Um, forget that last comment.

Color scheme anyone?

Syl, which text? The BLO one?

Is this what you need?

Color Schema: Full of colors on a white background :D

Oze: Your provided text was good, but we need the flag too.

arthexis: I think that’s good. We should see what Rodlen thinks.

Looks good to me.

Another whopping great piccy to annoy users of mobile devices, flag included:

Great. Now I just need to get Syl on here.

Here it is! This time I remembered to save a version with just the background, and an un-shrunk version in case of later edits being needed.

Good.

Thing is, it’s not too easy to see BloGno (go MIC!) and you won’t see the Gno mountains unless you know they’re there..

Yeah, but the Gno Mountains don’t capture the flavor of Gno at all. Gno has nothing to do with mountains.

For that matter, BLO has nothing to do with Blue either.

I intended the ‘‘mountains’’ to be grass. Ah well.  Do what you like, I say.

Arthexis: I suppose the blue could be the cold, since we are snowboarding down Mount Doom.

Oh, ok then. Well, anyways we should put this stuff together seeing that most of us agree with this. I’d do it myself, but have no idea how.

We could use the First Metadynasty of Rodlen text, but now we have a picture up.

Awesome!
