Resampled.

My portrait image is the actual icon for Obsidian, kindly provided by Janus.

Reducing the magma disk down to 64 and less will lose too much detail, I think.

Currently, Obsidian consists of a terminal console, a rendering window and a loading splash screen.

What we could do is use GFXiNS' submissions as the splash screen and credits background, and then use the others as the background for the rendering window and terminal console.

That depends on how colored text will look superimposed on the disk or sphere...

This will all be user configurable through the config.lua file, of course

I can provide a textless version of the gold spike if you wanna overlay dynamic text on it

[Skeggox]

Sweet.

I'll have to leave that as a stretch goal for later, though. I know Linux can easily set the backgrounds for terminal console windows, but I'm not so sure Windows can. If Window's can't do it easily, I'll have to implement a custom graphical console, which is a luxury feature atm.

But I'm all for having sweet eyecandy in Obsidian. It makes a big difference in feel and polish, compared to a simple text-only tool.

So hang on to the source for that image...

Hey again guys. Logos are provided below. I've been playing around with a less 'glossy' version of the obsidian, though I'm not really satisfied with how it's working out. If I get around to being remotely happy with it, I'll post it for opinions' sake.

Thanks for all your votes

A thought regarding the orb being used for credits: Perhaps one way to do this would be to simply have a render without the orb as an overlay, and sandwich the text between this overlay and a backing that completes the image.
