Well, I think now I need to redo it so it fits better with a "thicker
rim" which does look better, especially at smaller sizes. The joystick
is okay, but if I extend the base a bit (and make it a bit more
"perspective accurate") and redo the top dome (so it's more "dome
like") the nob at the top can be added later anyway. A more rounded top
and better base can allow it to be there or not.<br>
<br>
I'll see if I can do it tomorrow, thanks for the feedback.<br>
<br>
Also; I got some information about the IGDA theme/logo. There is no
significance as far as the source said, and it was just something the
CMP's internal graphic designer came up with that got accepted by the
board. So there you go :)<br>

think I might have to redo the base to be a better perspective and do
the glass dome better, but here is thicker glass with no handle:<br>

I made it a bit taller to compensate, might redo it so it's a bit
shorter with the bigger base. I also did what amounted to a bit of
darkening around the bottom of the base rather then making it black. I
will probably go and make the base bigger then the glass (as it should
be usually) so I can make it clearer all around it.<br>
<br>
In any case, it's a bit of progress.<br>

I'll look to do one without the glass knob, and sort the glass edge
going around the base (depending on how it looks, I'll also do a thin
glass version to compare). Give me a while - maybe will do it tomorrow.<br>
<br>
As for font, if you can find a entirely free Truetype font available,
which looks better, go for it. I just wanted one that matched what
simple work I did previously - not necessarily iconic "bit" fonts, so
if you can find one which matches monospaced terminal input, that'd be
cool. I don't know any decent sites for finding it though (I found that
one via. google).<br>
<br>
The IGDA colours? well, I need to really sort the IGDA history (yeah, I
started the Wiki project, it's still in limbo. Not that anyone really
cares or knows about it, since I've not told anyone, hehe), that'd be
something good to sort. I'll ask Jason how they got their icon and
colours, and note it on the wiki. Probably entirely boring ("It looks
good") but there we go ;)<br>

Thicker glass looks better, though doesn't the glass go around the base
as well? Still not sure about the knob at the top (even though I
suggested it in the first place!). Could our font be a little
different? Is there a less generic pixel font we could use?<br>
<br>
Colors look fine - in line with IGDA colors. BTW, does anyone know what
the IGDA colors actually STAND for?<br>
