I've been planning on making a business card I can hand out (and pass around the design) for rpg.stackexchange.com. I can setup all the text I want, but it still looks plain. Could someone design a simple graphic for the site?

Note: This is not expected to be permanent, but something we can use for advertising the site in beta.

I've always thought that a d20 is a really good representation of role-playing games.

This image has the 'Don't-need-a-license-'cause-I-drew-it-and-you-can-have-it' license. I cranked this out very quickly. If there is interest in it, I can take the time to do a better version.

    \$\begingroup\$ A d20 is a better metaphor for RPGs than a d6, because a) it's always been one of the most important dice in D&D and it's derivatives and therefore historically linked to rpgs, and b) the d6 is more commonly associated with board and dice games than rpgs. \$\endgroup\$

I like @Iain M Norman's one, with the question mark.

Here's something similar, using some Wikimedia commons dice instead of the paid stock art (and notably cheaper-looking as a consequence :P)

Tossed in part of the Stack Exchange logo, but I'm not a lawyer and don't understand if that's allowed according to the Stack Apps Legal Page.

Here's another with more StackExchange branding borrowed/stolen:

As a stop gap feel free to use this:

Is this covered by the CC-wiki license? I've used paid for stock art, so my license wouldn't extend to anyone else reselling it, that's all.

I think that no matter what the site ends up being called, the D6 is near perfect for our question and answer site!

  • \$\begingroup\$ Can we get a link to the license for that image? IANAL, but I'd be interested in digging into the license to see what we can and can't do with it. It really is a perfect image. \$\endgroup\$
