Techdirt Gets New Topic Icons

from the it's-about-time dept

So, the original topic icons for Techdirt (the words in a box) were set as placeholders the night before we launched this version of the site. The plan was to change them in the weeks that followed, but they remained there for significantly longer than any of us ever expected. Of all the feedback mail we receive the only negative ones (well, of the coherent negative ones) are about the icons. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if some of you have grown attached to them, we've convinced Audris to create us a new bunch. With this, we're also going to be adding a few new topic categories. These icons are not finalized either, so if you have comments on them (and I already have a few) let us know. If you like them, please let us know as well, since Audris put in a lot of time working on these and deserves our thanks.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Very slick!

    I have to admit that I think the logo change has been long over due (obviously) but the new topic logos are absolute outstanding. They keep with the techdirt flavor and look extremly well done!

    All icons.......

    All icons should be about 400k, so that we can watch them morph and spin and change colors. As for the logo, make it huge, about 400x400 so that I can see it, also, get that smelling internet, I want to smell 'tech dirt'. Have a floating background, with snow and little reindeer. Get background music, maybe something of Metallica.... then and only then, have the first page be FLASH 4x, and a moive of you saying "welcome to techdirt". -Mr.White
