It feels almost churlish to raise it given all the hard work that’s gone on to get us back home again, but is there any chance of putting the logo back on the site, or getting a new one.
It just feels slightly bare and functional with just the bold “Afterword” lettering at the top.
Indeed: do I not recall some shenanigans around managing to get an offered/commissioned artwork from one Pencilsqueezer onto the previous drupal site? Surely, with the excitement of Peter and Donna entering England for a London mangle, entry visa willing, this should be arranged forthwith, with a presentation at said mangle, which our righteously bashful artdude in residence will say no,no,no to.
(My IT knowledge and skills around such taskery clearly to the fore here, but how hard can it be, copyright MtM?)
and a pretty mini version to look all shiny on the phone, please Santa XX
I’d be happy to chip in and commission Mr Squeezer
Just for fun! If you were to choose an image for a new logo, what would it be?
A Baker Street sign.
A Steely Dan (the sex aid not the band)
A large pint of virtual beer.
A mellotron.
Tarkus.
A brick in a wall.
Or….?
Another vote for the squeezer. Count me in for a chip, as it were.
A Squeezer sounds good to me to. However, how about this for a strapline?

Pencilsqueezer was kind enough to create us a beautiful logo for the previous site, however we were unable to use it as our site had issues with graphic sizes and, try as we might, we couldn’t get it to work on the old site.
We’re up to our necks in fixing bugs and getting everybody registered so while sorting out a logo would be nice, it’s not going to be at the top of the priority list for a while.
The admin team built this in our spare time, on top of our normal day jobs, so we’re doing the best we can with limited time and resources. Thank you for bearing with us.
Finally, whoever made the original post, please post below letting me know your name so I can fix your user profile. Your name is currently missing…
Thanks

It was moi, Ainsley.
…and trust me, I couldn’t BE more appreciative of what’s being done here – the logo is very much a wishlist item.
And a favicon, please.
Anything I can help out with, in the Photoshoppery-digital-trickery domain, do cry out. Obscure file formats and arcane font knowledge are particular specialities.
Probably been requested/discussed elsewhere, but is there a way new posts can be flagged up, like on the old site.
Recently updated threads are listed screen right, but unless the new comment is at the end of the thread, it’s pretty difficult to spot it.
As I’ve said before, I’m happy to do any graphic design stuff the site might need in lieu of donations, being at the moment as Blackadder’s Prince George said ‘stinking rotten, stony broke’.
