    Using Subsilver and the background of the logo is black. If to be transparent, it won't look good. How about layering a different image for the subsilver theme?

    It looks okay with black background. Once, it wasn't. There's a thread in here about that.

    Suggestion: You should get a transparent face:

    Looks good against black, but not against the T-A red.

    I can just cut it out if you like. That shouldn't be a problem.

    How do you cut it out? How about make the background of it look any other color and make it transparent? I'm not sure if it looks goods. I don't know. Back to cutting out, how's that again?

    I looked into the whole transperency deal with Milo.

    This stuff is definetly not easy. Since the graphics have been made with nothing like that in mind, altering them messes everything up. Completely new graphics would have to be made.

    Your avatar has that effect.

    [​IMG]

    i was poking around with PSP i came up with this

    ive resized it to lower the kb
    its not that clean but if this will be used
    ill clean it much better

    [edit] it doesnt look different from the original HOL banner because of the background color but you can try and save it and put a different background color it is transparent [/edit]

    you can also use this avatar

    Make the pictures .PNG images. It's probably the coolest image file format [sic] available because it can use 32-bit colours and smooth transperancy :)

    It's also possible to create another type of logo for another theme.

    yes it is - infact there is many solutions to this problem.

    the key question though, is who is going to make it? :)
