Ok so community banners and icons are now working.

What I've put up at the moment are temporary. We need some good ones, especially for the icon as this is what will be seen by others once federated.

We are now taking submissions and suggestions if anyone wants to have a stab at it.

    Chuchu punching the shit out of spacians, as a gif, would be a great icon.

    Edit this one Edit2 forgot embeds are off for now

      I've tried a few crops of this and can't seem to make it work when small, it ends up being very difficult to tell what's going on unfortunately.

      I'm not familiar with gunbuster. Also, can you host this externally? Can't see it.

        The second two are the communist rebel group in Metropolis.

          i just remembered the pilot of the commiebot is named Jung Freud because Anno doesn't know subtlety

            My canon is (spoilers for Gunbuster and Diebuster)

            spoiler

            Jung was involved in the creation of Nono since she promised Noriko she would tell her "welcome back" when she returns. Hence why Nonoriri is in her databanks

        if you're into Gainax I can't recommend Gunbuster enough. It was even directed by Hideaki Anno. In some ways it's like a prototype of Evangelion.

    i really think it should just be the original

    hentai-free signature banner that made it popular.

    this one(linked an 'HD' version instead of the original like 250x250px one lol)

      I literally grabbed like the first results for "anime icon" and "anime banner". That's how temporary they are.

      The icon could change seasonally with whatever the current season favourite is. She is definitely the darling of the season. Another thought is that making our comm icons a hex might be fun branding against the rest of the federation that would stand out in searches.

        I think Witch from Mercury is currently a fan favourite on the site. So maybe something with that ?

          Hmm this season is nearly done. Who do we think is going to be the site favourite for next season?
