Well, actually, the "S" was supposed to be the the "Shadowrun
S" behind it all. I had thought it was good that an Acronym
wasn't so obvious, but since you brought it up, I corrected it
in MK2.
What does it mean it's heavily referenced? Any chance of my logo
making its appearance on the new "Harlequin vs. Godzilla III"
adventure? :)

Done. Even if I had to ruin the symmetry. :( I also was not
entirely contented with the vertical writing, so I
horizontalized it and moved the whole lot upwards. Take a look.
Comments VERY welcome since a) I am rather new to the list and
b) This is still a very-working version.

I also would like to know if anyone has a circuit-board like
background. I cannot find the correct shade of green to paint
it anew, so if anyone got a maybe um color 100x100 .gif (or
whatever) pic of a circuit board, I think I can mask it over the
NE_RPS letters, and change that dull bluish to circuit board...
Another "want": If you have a BIG (400x400 or more) color pic of
an explosion (just the fire and the smoke, not a longshot), I
think it would work much better for the background than that
yello-red paintbrushed crap I used. If I can find them on line,
please tell me the URL (mail me directly, we don't want things
such as "go to
http://devastate.explosives.com/hues_of_fire/KABBOOM.HTML"; going
round when everyone is looking for a way to accuse RPGs of
bringing up violent habits, no? :)

So far, this has been the only criticism... The acronym was not
clear... Anything else?

What size would the logo have to be? This one is only barely
legible when reduced to 100x100, as you can see... Will it need
to be even smaller? If so, I will have to work on a smaller
scale... Then: did we decide it had to be color or greyscale?
And then again: is the Shadowrun-S copyright? Am I going to be
sued if I use that? :) And then again again: can I use GIF or since
it now is patented I am going into a lot of trouble? :)

Just to remember you all, it's in
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/2717/rpg.htm
If anyone has trouble with www, tell me and I can send him the
most current version (only 100x100, sorry) via mail.

Bye! (starts up PAIN shop 3.0 again)
