	Apolyton Political Party Icons Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Can we get icons for political parties? It'll give a good indication on where we generally stand, especially to newbies ( and for judging newbies ) They could go under our location field, along with the other stuff we're "in" on Apolyton.

<----

For example...the Green Party of Apolyton...

People don't always use their national flag, why would they use a political one. I would probaly use the Monster Raving Loony Party flag, but would never condone their policies (except the one about making Westminster Palace a huge bouncy castle).

You obviously aren't required to have one

The green party is good, just it's a bit too cramped for 15x19. Perhaps if the bg were darker, and it were just a globe...

Then again, I might use the Yogic Flyers flag.

well the ones on the side are bmps, so that's what I saved them as. I could easily do them as gifs, though.

I figured the globe on its own wouldn't look as cool as the globe with a flower. You know, peace love and all that other hippie goodness

That was only a statement that PNG files would be better. Interpet it as you want, Kiwi.

Actually ".png" is a Finnish phrase meaning "Would you care to embrace my sister?". I admit to being baffled as to how it fits into this thread.

As png they do look clearer, somehow…

But it may take the uninformed a long time to figure out the first is a globe and the third is american money.

What about a liberal party?
A conservative party?
A democratic party?
A neo-con party?
A zionist part?
A fascist party?
anarchistic and liberterian parties (though they would resist gathering in any sort of parties, sincei t's against ideology. they only gather for violent protests )

I want! I want!

I'd use this feature for sure. But there would have to be about 20+ parties to make everyone happy.

This isn't a democracy... I can already hear it!

Seriously, it's an interesting idea, but I don't think it will contribute much I'm afraid.

I think it's kind of lame, but if you guys want to do it, I'll offer my support. But please... do GIF's or JPG's because I'm terribly lazy and won't download any other format. If this happens, I'm starting a Sava party.

How about a Greenie Comunist Party, with a green background instead of red.

I love Straybrow's suggestions

Not too many parties people. Don't forget the only significant parties in the OT are the CPA and the AECCP

orange, something must be wrong with your browser, .bmps do not show up as pictures on the internet

I like Straybow's icons. They're more simplistic.

and on the idea. It's about fricking time. heck, even such a marginal and insignificant group as the Mac users got their own icon.

It's a dumb idea..............people will just try and join ludicrous parties so that they can be only member and have a unique icon..............very much like the equally pointless flags, since most don't use their correct one.
