I still refuse to acknowledge any graphics design interests or abilities. It simply takes WAY to much time. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy gimp‘ing like anyone else. In fact, I couldn’t find a very-small font that I liked, so I created an 11×11 pixel grid and created an custom alphanumeric phont (phony-font). Like the colorful ‘plaques’ in the sidebar? They use my custom size 6.5 font and some quick custom mini-icons. I got the idea from Eric Raymond’s hacker logo concept. Aside. While I think Eric is a true hacker, I disagree with the hacker logo concept. I firmly believe that a true hacker is called so only by peers. True hacker status cannot be self proclaimed. So I don’t think a logo is necessarily appropriate for people to put on their sites. That being said, I liked the layout for one of his concept logos. Thanks Eric. I think they are a neat and colorful way to highlight interests.
