GearHead banner/logo images

It would be cool to have some GearHead banner and logo images in various sizes that people can place on their webpages. Anyone want to try and create some?

What font was used in the logo for the GH wiki? What mecha is depicted?

Where can I find a larger version of the mecha image (without text)?

(I think I already asked this last question earlier this year...)

I created two [edit: four] logos/icons based on tunginobi's SVG image.

I uploaded the SVG images to the Yahoo! Group.

The font is called "Osaka Sans Serif".

The font I've been using for the GearHead logo is Psyphoon by BlamBot, available from their website. I'm not entirely happy with it but it's free and fairly distinctive.

www.blambot.com

The mecha in the masthead is the Haiho. I think you can find larger images of it if you search this forum; if not, I'll post it again.

I don't like the faux-Japanese look of the font you selected; it's the same basic deal as if this were a game about Lovecraftian horror, and someone wanted to use the stars and stripes in the logo.

I used the font because I recognized it from previous GH concept art.

Maybe it was only this one.

[edit] Nevermind... It's the same font. The two fonts *do* look kind of similar however.

I updated the icons using the Psyphoon font. You'll have to clear your browser cache to see the new versions.

I meant the icons for the wiki and forum, not the blog. I think the font in these images may be more legible at small resolutions.

The mecha is the Luna II, and yes I did ask the same question recently. Duh.

Still haven't identified the font yet, but I posted a question at the GIMP forums, so hopefully someone there will be able to identify it.

Test:



[edit]
The images in my previous posts seem to have become broken.
