Replace the icon for the Big Blue Forum
May I suggest replacing the icon for the Big Blue Forum with the awesome new big blue bull logo? I don't hate the old cartoon big blue, but I'm really digging the new bull and enjoy seeing it well utilized.
Thanks for the most excellent fan forum on the Internet!

The amount of energy necessary to refute bull pucky is an order of magnitude greater than to produce it.

Re: Replace the icon for the Big Blue Forum
I looked into changing this but if we include the entire bull he is so incredibly small that it's hard to make out. I even thought about just his head like I had posted for someone else on a thread as a request but in order to fit the horns in, the head becomes very tiny as well with the entire image only 35 pixels square. Believe me, I am all for erasing Pumba the Pig bull from all our memories but I suppose that is still the head of our mascot as well so I can live with it if it's the only place he still exists.

Re: Replace the icon for the Big Blue Forum
I didn't even think of replacing that icon for some reason but Aglicious makes some great points. When you are working with an image as small as those icons, sometimes it's hard to make them look good with a complex design. If you look at the Locker42 ad up above then you can see what happens when you start to shrink the bull image down and we'd have to make it probably 1/5th that size to fit as an icon. You definitely wouldn't be able to tell what it is. And just the head doesn't make it any better (in fact I think the head alone kind of looks weird).

Re: Replace the icon for the Big Blue Forum
what about using the new official font to create an icon that's simply "BIG BLUE"? Or a house? I didn't think so before, but I really hate that bull face.
also, can you change the "Sandbox" to "Bull (I can't express myself without swearing)" Forum, the icon can be a cowpie

Re: Replace the icon for the Big Blue Forum
Here it is cropped a few different ways with the proper color scheme...since all of the icons are only blue.

Re: Replace the icon for the Big Blue Forum
I think the first is a little small, but any of the other 3 would work. But, I actually like keeping it the face of Big Blue.
I also heartily second AGinNEIowa idea about revamping the Sandbox!

Seeing it on the page now, I think the one you picked looks fine.
