Following is a rendition of the Blair petition logo idea, using EU flag stars and Blair's mug.
I had to fiddle a bit to bring out the 'interdit' aspect, as the stars alone weren't quite enough to get the idea across.
Comments, criticism are welcome.
Hmm, now that I see it in the browser, there may not be enough contrast between the blue paler blue ring [under the stars] and the ground ...
[I like this. h/t to redstar. It'd add an element of humor to an otherwise dry layout].
over and out.
and beautiful too... Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
If I have a suggestion (but others may disagree), it would be : could you make the "prohibited" bar across his face just a little more opaque? So, at first glance, some people may not take it for a plug for Blair President?
But other people should say how they see it!
But I certainly see your point.
I looked through dozens of pictures of Mr Blair and thought the one I chose was the most characteristic, with that utterly insincere grin. Yuk.
If you want 'ugly', with a touch of militantism, see my first try
There are other pictures out there. Attention, many of them are copyright. There were some great photos of Tony Blair masks [!], which I'd have loved to use but didn't for fear of copyright issues.
Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
Does that look better on your respective platforms?
see above.
Je demeure là pour toutes les suggestions. :-)
For me, a combination of versions 2 and 3 would be good. The bar across face of 2, the rest of 3.
I like the Blair pic itself, it's typical of him selling himself as a grinning schoolboy.
Now, what about a reduced-size version (175px wide) for ET, with STOP BLAIR in it? I was thinking of something like:
...but I have little sense for aesthetics, so this is only intended to give you ideas. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
British readers of the satirical magazine Private Eye may be reminded of the fictional leftist character, Dave Spart, who was forever to be heard explaining how he "totally and utterly" opposed some reactionary development or other.
Well, he does agree that it is a reactionary development, right? Or he's being too subtle for me. And I thought that nowadays it was the unreconstructed left that was reactionary.
And "leftist" is not an insult anymore - isn't that how they describe all center-left leaders these days?
This gets so confusing... In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
Diciphering the ideological content of the invective is becoming an art which might require the same sort of academic study as once pursued during the cold war, filtering the People's Daily for iterations of running yellow dogs of Capitalism and so forth.
Dizzying. Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant
You should write a diary about that... *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Personally, I prefer the former myself... Fai de bèn a Bertrand, te lou rendra en cagant

I'll do my best to provide something by tomorrow early pm.
I was going to suggest in any case that you set the logo with a left margin, lining it up with the flag menu beneath it ...
It was a design mistake on my part to specify the logo flush left.
But, well, drop me a line.
