Yes ma'am!

In the world where I get a pony, there's a version of your icon with the text of the bright red icon. I like the quieter style, and I like the use of the user-icon (reminding people that she is a user, not just a pair of initials). I would also like to put some platform information on it, probably substituting for the words "Advisory Board." (I would do this myself, but I suck at image programs.)

I'd really like a slow animation (not flickery perhaps a frame a second), going through the major platform points.

By the way, rm, one of the things that attracted me most about your platform was the argument that allowing free speech lowers LJ's liability, and is therefore not just, "The fans have rights, dude!" I'm not sure how to put it into a two word slogan, but something about common sense, perhaps? Clear communication is another one that I didn't see listed in the icons that was a major selling point for me.

I can do more with Paint than I thought.

The font I used for the "rm" was Arial Bold. The bit at the bottom was 10pt bold Segoe UI, but could be anything of that general feel. Can someone make an animation? That part cannot be done in Paint, though people are welcome, if they like my mod, to slap any sensible slogan on it.

My preferred set of animated slogans (presuming you agree with these, rm):
diversity / free speech / usability / common sense / user rights / clear communication / free accounts / open source / strong communities / disability issues

works for me. and thank you!

I plan to play with more stuff tonight, but I may wind up writing as opposed to designing. I see a lot of people entering the race with the argument that they are mainstream and that people with some of the concerns I raise and affiliations I have are not. So I think something needs to be said about unity and about what mainstream really is and isn't.

I definitely want to start flying that flag for you, as soon as you give me the clever words to do it with. I think it is important, and I think your bridge between the professional and fannish world is crucial. I'm just not sure how to put it in a buzzword. It's one of the reasons I added "strong communities" - one of the ways LJ has shaken the foundations is a sense that there are certain core communities they would rather not have.

Hmm. "Better business" just popped into my head. I'm not sure if it works or not, but, as I said above, I really liked your articulate arguments for making LJ's business stronger by setting sensible policies. "Enforceable policies"? Hmm. In my design, it's easier to make a long second word than first word.
