Sorry, but I have to disagree with you, Iconclast. Yes, it's a nice icon and it is preferable in appearance to the old one but it is really just another Nintendo logo; albeit different colours.

If I had to choose this or the old one I would take the old one again and again not because I like it it but because it represents the concept of this great emulator: that it was made by the fans for the fans, not Nintendo. Yes it needs a major spruik up and I don't deny it doesn't look old and a little dated, but not to the extent Project's 64 identity is changed forever.

As you said most sites don't have a icon with their name on it and this is one of the many thousands of reasons why PJ64 stands alone from other emulators. It already has an identity, a reputation and performance to match. As reverant as I am to Nintendo, Project 64 is so much more than the original N64.

To change it to the default 'N' would be an insult to Zilmar and all the people who have made PJ64 what it is today. PJ64 deserves it's own icon, not a carbon copy of Nintendo's. And this means the logo DOES have to have 'Project 64' or 'PJ64' in it. Even 'PJ' would suffice. Take away PJ64's identity and Project 64 loses it's soul and I don't think it's makers would want that, do you?

And I know what you're going to say: does a emulator has a soul? Well religious discussion aside (I think we had enough of that lately!) what I'm trying to say is: they can take away Project 64's logo but they can't take away Project 64!

Okay, first, why does everyone here forget both 'O's when typing my name?

Second, you don't have to have PJ in the program icon. It could be a simple picture of the logo for the console it emulates, say, the N logo usually works. There is no 'soul' with having simple text in a program icon. The natural N just looks better.

Third, my image is not a 'carbon' copy; it is a much transformed copy. It is not 'solidly' colored on its edges and is 3-dimensional instead of 2-dimensional as an image. An insult to zilmar? Idk, maybe if you're like, "Are you saying Project64 is supposed to have a good-looking icon? We can't have that!" But, no, I think he's just concerned that it's copyrighted.

Apologies for forgetting the 'o' in your name, IconOclast, but I really don't think it's such a big deal. Most people tend to abrievate or use SMS text, anyway. Though, to be fair, if I got a dollar for everytime someone forgot to dot the dots in my initials of my user name I would probably be only ten dollars richer...

Anyway, all I'm saying is apart from the issue of copyright, Nintendo's logo, whether it is 2D, 3D or viewed in the 4th dimension and has every colour in the rainbow is NOT, in my opinion, original but merely a enchanced copy that would almost certainly be a carbon copy if one was colour blind and dimensionally challanged.

A.I., you definitely have a point.

Project 64, should have its own icon, using just a coloured 3d-afied N doesn't really make the emu stand out.

i like Arkay design, particularly the colors are well chosen, but perhaps it'll be hard to include into emulator/website's design

i like EMu-LoRd's one too, however I think it'll be better if the "6" and the "4" had the same height

finally, I think actual colors look quite sad, we should take advantage of the redesign to change them

Aw, forget it people. Obviously, I can teach my point of view, I can teach the reason behind what I think, but I can never change people's opinions on which graphics look better than others. Point being, the N I posted just plain goddamn looks good for the icon. That's all I had in mind. I wasn't asking for excuses or anything.

Nah, that's okay; I've seen worse instances. I was only saying, it's just so common. If my name were 'Iconclast'...well, that would be a compound word, there.
