Is this still maintained? Are there any free slots?

I'm not very graphically inclined but I did have a couple of ideas:
The Federation Against Ship Theft
Welcomes you and thanks you
for flying carefully!
Just Say No!
To Arcturan Megaweed
Sponsored by Galcop
Message from Galcop:
Fly Safe!
Don't Forget to Buckle Up!
Then maybe a couple of visual gags (based on US and other countries traffic signs):
"Blind Pilot Area" (yellow diamond warning sign)
"Thargoid Crossing" (Another yellow diamond sign like an "Animal Crossing")
"Asteroid Belt Warning" (Visual representation only, no text. Red triangle warning sign)
"Do Not Shoot" (Like the US "Do Not Pass" sign, black text on white rectangular background)

There's probably a million and one of these but this might inspire some people with ideas.

Perhaps we should build mini-beacos buoy next asteroid field or along the space lanes, and the use your warning.

It's more about comedic rather than practical value, but yes, that'd be a possibility.

I was thinking 'bout a Lonely Toons effect, do you remeber Will.E. Coyote? :)

In honour of the night out Mrs T had last night, and the house full of helium balloons we now seem to have...

Maybe needs a little tweaking around the OO's.

The O's are in a similar style to the i in the original, but just look out of place in the tweaked one as they are more obvious. Not sure what font it's in (I don't have Ahruman's font identification optics installed) so will have to leave it to you artistic folks to adjust.

Or, to keep somehow in-theme with the original, put the oo's on top of each other, vertically instead of horizontally.

I think McLane's idea would look better. Your OO's still don't scan correctly with the other letters.

They will when I expand the width of the logo to better fit the dimensions of the 256x128 box - I just wanted to see what I could do in c. 30 mins (I'm supposed to be writing lectures - it was a nice distraction).

The O is exactly the same height as the rest, just 87.25% of the width, which would have been OK I think, but scaling also narrowed the width of the blackness. If I crack on through my lectures tomorrow - I'll try and show you what I mean...

Dimension's of whole logo edited to fit the final 256x128, OOs now the same dimensions as the rest of the letters.

Better? or indeed "Froody"?

I think so, but it's not my design its Thargoids.

Really must do my lectures - right after my 8yr olds 9th b'day party...

That sign might look "better" if FROODYS was done more like FrOodys, (1 big O, then 1 small o) since it's a take-off of Oolite.
