Todd:
Are these images allowed?

Bram, no, please don't use or distribute those images for web pages.
Reasons:

1.  They use the wrong typeface for the logo text.  (It's most visible in
    the largest of the three images.)  The right typeface is Futura Bold.

2.  They don't show a TM symbol.  (Which reminds me, I still need to fix the
    buttons that I made last fall -- they don't show a TM symbol either.
    I'll fix those tonight if I can get to it; I just took the page offline
    for now.)

3.  The biggest of the three is too large for comfort (in pixel count), and
    the middle of the three has embedded error-diffusion pixellation (in the
    GIF image itself as opposed to an artifact of post-transmission error-
    diffusion on 8-bit displays).

4.  Since the text is flush at the top and bottom of the images, those
    images only work on a black background.  That in itself is not a
    problem, but if a clueness newbie puts one of them up on a white
    background (and I'm sure *some*body out there would eventually try),
    then that -is- a problem, because it makes LUGNET look bad for having
    distributed an image which doesn't "work," even if it's actually someone
    else's fault for misusing it on an incompatible background.

BTW, it was a pain to find the button page.  Maybe you should link to it
directly from the front page.

OK, that sounds like a good idea, now that things are beginning to feel more
cohesive and the homepage actually means something when it's linked to.

Let me see if I can whip together a new set of images -- ones which contain
the TM symbol and ones which are closer to what you're trying to do.

If you enjoy LUGNET, and you have your own web page, one way you can show your support -- as well as your enthusiasm for LEGO® toys -- is to display a special button or banner image on your web page.
