It will display in full size with IE (so it can screw up the whole thing if a pic is too big), and it will be fit to width with Opera. Hi

Compare http://blog.citizendium.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/citi3.gif with http://cubegames.net/images/Citi3.png and you will see what I mean.

You also need an icon for the people using firefox. Like wikipedia has a W that appears on the tab and google has a G. Obviously I assume you'll have a C but that icon is important too. Also, the name citizendium is set in stone? when i talk to people about it, they all respond, "cita what?" then they say, "wikipedia" is a cooler name. I think the name is fine but i wanted to spread the feedback from the 25 people I've tried to recruit so far. extend the deadline for entries people are in school until the 23rd. the icon is important as heck.

I must have generated the wrong one again :D Here's the proper ones: http://cubegames.net/images/Citi1.png http://cubegames.net/images/Citi2.png http://cubegames.net/images/Citi3.png All made with SVGs so they can be made into any format. I encourage all other designers to do this. That’s weird, it’s got the wrong image. I must have generated the wrong one again :D

I think simplicity would be wise here, and include only the name of the website.
