A symbol for Impeachment.
I say we come up with a Trojan Horse symbol for impeachment, using a simple peach in the design. Let's incorporate it in clothing and bumper stickers, until we hammer the public consciousness to the point that our "In" peach will come screaming across like a thousand stinging rotten eggs directed at the one person who is most responsible for the terrible circumstance we're facing today.

Any artists out there that want to take a shot at the design?

7. ok, an example to see how it looks "much" smaller.
Edited on Tue Jan-02-07 09:49 AM by Alamom



on edit...the size is good. DU recommended, 48x48 pixels.


The "message" needs work. :)

This "would" be an eye catching avatar.

8. Maybe the writing should be on the outside, so it stands out?

17. I like the way the wording drapes the circle.
If we can replace the orange dot for the peach, I think we've got it!

20. problem is in the concept of using a peach
a peach is not a commonly recognized image, like an apple or a bananna would be

same with putting an "M" on the peach - to most people it looks like some sort of fruit, maybe an apple with a "m" on it... they wouldn't get it.

22. Anyone's welcome to my avatar if they want it.

Did it in Illustrator. It's a vector graphic, so it can be stretched to any size.

28. The angles... gotta work on the angles.


Was going for the look where at first, it looks like a jagged line, then it jells into an M & a W. More this afternoon.
