Tired of ads?

Personally I'd go for an iron fist.

As for that, it looks good, but the G on PSG seems thinner and sharper than the other letters, that are all slightly blended. The S a little too.

Though I'm fine with anything

Method, your icon would be good, though like Drogue says, the lower letters are somewhat blurrier compared to the above two "AC". Any idea what's causing that?

Drogue, what iron fist icon would you prefer of the picture below? What would you make the background colour (or keep the current pink)?



Or did you have another iron fist in mind?

Another possibility might be a shrunked down version of the Doc:Loy icon:



Colours could be changed of course to match those of other DG and PBEM civicons:

just remember that these have to be 15x19 pixels...which will make that stuff look pretty crappy. i'm just keeping in the theme of the rest of the DG icons.

i know exactly what's causing it. i erased "DG" from the old icon and put in "PSG". no doubt i'm using a different font, but it's pretty hard to tell with it being so small.

I was going to suggest an iron fist, but then I remembered...Theres some strange team in some Civ3DG that has the same thing.
So a hammer-and-sickle would go fine

The iron fist (or the Yin/Yang symbol) would fit the Hive ethos perfectly; the same cannot be said of the hammer & sickle.

Any of the iron fists (although I like the black) with the usual AC icon background IMHO would be good. As would a yin yang. I think the iron fist is the best IMHO, as it represents the DG well without being too plain

WTF? I'm all for an Iron Fst, as a symbol of a police state, but I would refrain from any obvious Communist symnbols, as we're not all communists.

If in doubt go for a simple ACPSG one, but personally, I think the iron fist says it all.

Yeah I agree the Iron Fist is the best one...But I could have sworn someone else already used it.

If not, then let's go with communist symbolisms.

Could someone else please make a civicon out of the fists I provided? My graphic programs refuse to do what I want them to do.

If I have such a civicon, I would organize a poll with the different suggestions.

Many people in favour of the fist. As soon as someone can make a 15x19 pixels gif file, I'll poll it.
