Does anyone know of an artist who's good with logos? Doesn't even have to be in the pony fandom.

I'm looking to update the Vault's logo/header - something I put together with stock images way back in the day - with something a little more... well, I don't know what. Certainly something unique, something that would belong to me. (I discovered after the fact that I technically broke the licensing agreement of the stock photo site.)

Sent this in to EqD last night (well, really, very early this morning when it was done), but got ahold of a better camera today and took some better pictures.

There's still time, right?

EDIT: I meant as a jokey Halloween-themed thing, it's the full res of my avatar here. All the cool kids are changing their avatars and handles for the holiday... I just... just wanted to fit in...

That's fun. Thanks for tagging along, guys.

I want to make this very clear to anyone and everyone: the Vault is a one-man operation, with no direct connection to any other site or userbase or group of people or individuals. No one else has any influence or say in which stories are selected for invitation. It's all me, and me alone.

It's fun sending out Vault invitations. I just did a batch. I get the sense from most invitees that I'm making their day, possibly their week. (If you ever get a PM/email/note from RBDash47 with the title of one of your stories as the subject...)

Bottom line: it was quite a lot of fun! I enjoyed and appreciated the chance to meet and re-meet some of my favorite authors and artists. I finally had a chance to meet the lovely Tara Strong, and acquire her autograph to complete the set:

I also met the perpetually cheerful Andrea Libman, and acquired her signature as well, for a friend.

If you read my last blog post, this is a dupe, and I'm sorry to spam you again, but I think maybe people didn't read it last time because of the innocuous title!

I briefly mentioned this some months ago, but I will be attending Canterlot Gardens - and beyond attending, I will actually be running a panel on fanfiction. If you're going to CG and would like to meet some awesome authors and hear them talk about writing pony fanfic, come on by at 9:30 AM Sunday! Donny's Boy, HiddenBrony,

I just submitted the first two chapters of PONY Legacy here. According to the fancy countdown, it's at position 17 in the queue, and will get approved (theoretically) in around 90 minutes.

If you follow me on dA, you may have already seen the completed cover art - if you haven't, well, something to look forward to (though I suppose you could always spoil yourself by moseying over there). I think it's absolutely gorgeous, I might have to make a wallpaper version.
