I agree with Loons, the stone looks somewhat weird and as i measured it, i think it should be a bit larger (just copy it and place the 2 next to each other to judge)

by the way, to avoid the 'kjaj' look, what about disconnecting 'i's from the grid? and i liked the original combination with red... something like this, maybe?


(the underline is not very good, but neither are my graphic skills )

I might be wrong, but probably not.

I really like Laman's modifications! Especially the version with the red exclamation mark, which not only breaks up the monochrome scheme, but also adds a neat double meaning (in chess very good moves are marked with a "!", and I think I've seen this in some go game records as well). Furthermore, it takes away attention from the stone, which I felt drew too much attention before.

I like the idea of disconnecting the grid from the "i's" and I think I have a way of doing so that may satisfy your desire for red in it, as well as giving it some some fighting spirit! I'll work do some on it and see if I can't have it posted within a few days. Of course I have to talk to ricky1 about it and see what he thinks.

The problem I think you're referring to is the fact that the stone has an outline. I did realize this when I finished the design, but I was getting tired, and to be honest, lazy. I agree with your point, though, it looks slightly weird.



I like your second modification. But I think it might work better if we didn't disconnect the "i"s from the grid. Let me do some Photoshopping of your idea and see. (Also, red is a good Kiai color. Glad you liked it!)

Yeah, the red underline might be enough to avoid 'looking like js'.

Let's hope you're right, sir! Looked good to me, but then again, I never saw the problem to begin with.

Opinions, then? Will this bring out the "Is" the way we want? Again, not a finished product. Also, white or black stone?





Also, who knows the grammatically correct way to refer to the "Is"? Is it "I"s, "Is", "I's", etc.?
