Crazy thought... What if the logo changed whenever you entered a page dedicated to TOS? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 16:11, 13 April 2007 (CDT) | Crazy thought...

:::::It could also be offset so that its on the bottom right hand corner of the logo, "in orbit" as it were. Something similar in appearance to [[:Image:BSG WIKI Project.png]]. However, the more I think about it, the more I rather covering up the logo with a TOS-themed one. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 16:56, 14 April 2007 (CDT) | :::::It could also be offset so that its on the bottom right hand corner of the logo, "in orbit" as it were.

::::::We also have to consider that load order can be odd. When I do a hard refresh I see the TOS logo load first, then the wiki logo loads over it (covering it up completely). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:47, 17 April 2007 (CDT) | ::::::We also have to consider that load order can be odd.

Yes, can we make a good retro TOS logo for those pages? I'm rather jazzed for it myself. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 01:54, 15 April 2007 (CDT) | Yes, can we make a good retro TOS logo for those pages?

The logo seems quite harmless, but I want to be wary of giving the RDM continuity "first among equals" status. Speaking as an avowed RDM fan who has never watched TOS, there are still TOS-only fans out there and we gain nothing by alienating them. --[[User: | The logo seems quite harmless, but I want to be wary of giving the RDM continuity "first among equals" status.

:Some articles are more equal than others? I don't think the intention was to in any way disparage or marginalize TOS-only fans so much as provide a distinctive visual cue that can help establish which series a particular article belongs to. While one can easily tell by the category, I'm not sure how intuitive that is for most people, and it is at the bottom of the page (at least in the current skin implementations). While the images are usually a give-away (and the TOS articles are generally rife with them), there are situations where that might lead you astray (like perhaps with the Centurion Model 0005). | :Some articles are more equal than others?

::A change in the background and a pip would do that, but may be more complicated. I'm for the simpliest idea. The spirit of this plan is to ''enhance'' the visibility of TOS articles, not diminish them, so while pips are easy to enter in with a bot and category, advanced options may increase these article's visibility more as well. For now, I'm just focusing on TOS. As things grow, it may be practical to mark other continuities. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:52, 17 April 2007 (CDT) | ::A change in the background and a pip would do that, but may be more complicated.
