OK, so the wonderful and talented [livejournal.com profile] comixboy has come up with a few drafts of the minion icon and I figured I'd show everyone to see which one the general public likes better. I know which one I prefer. Feel free to steal these and use them as icons when appropriate. Or lift them and put them on your LJ profile. Or whatever. Have fun with them. I'll be putting up a little shop on Cafe Press with t-shirts and stuff shortly. But definitely tell me which one you like and why, etc.



Minion Icon #1 (my favorite):





Minion Icon #2:





Minion Icon #3:

:D Cool! I like the first one the best, too.

#1 seems to be the favorite.

Definitely #1, with the "Uncial = Fantasy" font. The font on the others makes it look like you're a horror writer.

Yeah, the "horror" font was the original and we experimented with a few others to find one more "fantasy" oriented.

#3 looks like blood spatter, if you're into that kind of thing :-)

Hmm . . . actually, we felt that the third was too brush-strokey, and the other was more like dagger slashes. But I can see the blood spatter.

I note that you picked upon the blood spatter.

Yes, and I need as many minions as I can get. *grin*

I also vote for #1.

If I get the Throne trilogy for my brother for his birthday next month, do I get to be a minion? ;^)

Well . . . you put me in a bad place here. See, officially, I believe you are already a minion. At least in my mind. You made that status a while ago. However, I ALSO want you to buy the trilogy for you brother for his birthday, so . . . what do I say? *grin*

Bah! You're already a minion. But it would be cool if you got your brother the trilogy too.

Well, I was gonna buy it anyway, so we're cool :)

haha, GMTA, I've got my own Megan's Minions thing going on, but sadly, I have no icon for them!

It's good to have artist friends who are willing to slave for me. *grin*

From: [identity profile] authorm.livejournal.com
well, frankly, what's the point of having minions if they don't slave for you? :)

Exactly. But [livejournal.com profile] comixboy has been a friend since 5th grade. He was forced to read everything I wrote, way back then, and now. And ugh, was some of that stuff bad. (Some of the current stuff too, I'm sure.) So he's on a slightly higher elevation than Minion. Perhaps Supreme Minion? He might deserve his own icon.

And shouldn't both of us be writing, not spamming LJ? *grin*

...I'm interviewing houseboys. How's the search for the cabana boys coming? ;)

I also like #1. The font is nicer, and in #1 and #2 the blood spatter looks like pi.

#1 seems to be the fan favorite so far. And that's how I described the symbol to friends and whatnot. I can't describe it that way in the book though, since this is a different world and there were no greeks.

yep, I like #1.

#1 is winning by a landslide so far.

I like #1 too, and alread nicked it. You'll find it on my friends only notice at the bottom center. If you click on it, it will link to your home page.

Yep, I'm a minion.

You certainly are a minion! Wow. Hope you have fun with it. *grin*
