I somewhat dont think it supports Images in the background,  but ill do a 1024x768 image anyways,    so if no image support, people can use as a desktop Background. :P

Sausage, which program do you use? Adobe Illustrator? There is also an OpenSource Alternative, its called Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/), but maybe you already know or use that one. :)

Actually i'm using Adobe Fireworks CS3.
Ugh,  I always call it macromedia fireworks, because they origionally made it,  but yeah. Also, what do you actually think of these graphics Math?

Just for a small update to it, i am going to use the Giant OA logo for my maps, Like the Attachment shows.
[Update]
Another Graphic - Perfect Icon.(Best viewed on Black BackGround, Like it would be in game.)

Well, the first one looked very nice. That one could be used for something like an open ice arena modification. ;) However, its a bit small. You have also made this one in vector-graphics?

I don't like the OA logo one because it is way too squiggly, like it was upsampled from a low res picture. 

I also don't like the perfect icon either, since it's a letter with a ton of circles around it. Not very universal, try a nice checkmark, maybe with an A+ grade on it.

Heh, sure thing fromhell. and yeah,  it kinda was re-sampled,   I Was in the process of making an un-Squiggled one, but thats Gone.
Fucking Ubuntu Re-formatted my harddrive without my knowing so i lost it all.
So i Formatted again, back to vista.:D And i did think the Perfect one sucked, but at least i had a go at it. :)

As Soon as i re-install Fireworks ill make a Big OA Logo in a 512x512 Square. :D

Maybe worth a look (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_graphics) if you want to improve the quality of your pictures.

W1zrd: Are you basically talking about anti aliasing? i already know but i went without it for Transparency support, because if you anti alias to a black background it looks like shit on White, and vice-versa.

But thanks for the advice anyways.
