I don't think I like the transparent ones as much, and I've got plenty of spare Jellybabies now - have one of mine.

I suspected as much, hence my question about the Oolite font. :D

Aha, I see! I'd thought you were referring to the logo font, sorry ... I don't know exactly what font Oolite uses in-game but I suspect that you could use Helvetica Bold and nobody would notice.

Worth a try!

Cool! Didn't know Lave, Tionisla et al were part of the Pleaides star cluster. Will have a closer look in the Autumn with my 'scope! :lol:

Mind you making a picture which accurately mirrors g1 is not that tricky. I did one for a star trek audio play once:

The stars behind the logo mirror the arrangement on the United federation of planets insignia
Creating a star field that accurately replicates the positioning of the stars in g1 shouldn't be insanely tricky, I did this once for a star trek fan site.

taking the fedoration of planets logo and mapping stars to it:

I plumped for Another Commander and Disembodied's first team effort. Nice big logo, starry background, no ships (I would have liked ships, but I agree with those who said it looked better without.

Well done, thank you everyone!
