Two questions.

1] Do we need to get the artist's written permission for any drawn pictures we may use?

2] Any chance we can get a transparent-ed picture of the logo, should we choose to use it on there?

[Former-GM-Nara]

It is always good to get permission of the artists for their work if possible. If not, be sure to include the artists name and a link to their site so that credit can be given where its due .

I'll try to get a transparent picture of the logo. If I can't you can always remake it with the text we have.

[Avalon_Fates]

Hmm ill probably enter if I can get the right screenshots to make the animated gifs to use for the banner.

[Zeena]

I might try this.
It'll just be drawn though.
Since I have no clue about how to do online decorating.
Except Paint.
Of which, I suck.

Here's the logo again: http://www.mediafire.com/?njnjnqirgzn
I suggest to crop out the slogan since it's small and hard to read.

Updated first post with Logo link and more optionals.

@fates What may be easier is packing the sprite files from the .grf and just use that instead.

@mass :D Thanks!

*extracting.

if you download actOR2 you can do that using that program. you can get sprite files directly from the grf, without having to use a different program. you can find that program on ro-enhance
