This logo, applied as avatar to your moderator staff looks almost like
a horned devil, and also calls to mind fascist logos of the past and present.

Horned devil?

To me it looks like the top of batman's head.

Which just makes me think of that opening scene in The Da Vinci Code where the professor guy is showing a series of symbols, and the audience is giving the wrong meaning for the symbol. What the mind sees is rather tricky sometimes and isn't always what the picture in front of you is.

It's called a Thunderbolt

It's called a Thunderbolt, which I felt was sort of unique. Two thunderbolt V's. I can now also see Batman, maybe it still needs some more work, like a break at the top.

Maybe more like this?

Good point, I'll get with Max when he returns, and see if he can use the other one and just replace the V.

Peace Out,
Gman

Please stop by the V Refuge for the latest news about the V is for Voltage Recovery effort and status.

Reid,
Thanks, this time I'll take your advice, seems I had some tunnel vision problems. That's why other onions, even yours are so important and appreciated. Thanks again for the input.

Peace Out,

"was the avatar intended as humor---or as a warning?"

Reid,
good point but from what I intended it was neither humor nor a warning.
The "thunderbolt V" was something I created from the idea of inserting a V in a lightning/thunderbolt.
Since Gman asked me to create abbreviations like BM as an avatar I thought it would be nice to
mirror the thunderbolt V and insert the "BM" in the middle of it. This way the top of the quoted avatar or what you maybe call devil's bald head was caused by mirroring the thunderbolt.

BTW, now I can see the devils horned head, batmans head or whatever as well^^

Hope the new avatar is more convenient for you and all the others.
Constructive criticism is always good to improve things, hence any input to that is appreciated!

So what's your opinion on the improved avatar?
Any suggestions for further improvements?

Cheers

Max
