I made two simple pictures to replace the top right blue cup on my
Website. (http://www.americangirlscouts.org/agsresources/)

Which one do you like best? The one made with charachters from retail games or AGS games. I'll add the best one to the site in a few days.
Please note that these were done quickly with ripped sprites, I just cant stand having two blue cups at the top of the page anymore.
Edit: Changed the picture, now what do you think? You can now click on my sig to see what it looks like on my site.
I don't see the point in having retail game characters if the site is about AGS?
Edit: I would probably replace Garfield by the way, first of all that big orange cat really draws attention from the other characters, and second of all, that game no longer exists officially. How about Alexander from Cirque de Zale instead, or Jake McUrk, Fatman or Jessica Plunkenstein?
Also, the gap between 'Adventure' and 'Game' is too far, and really 'Game' should have a capital letter. Defininitely the 2nd one as said.
What about Trilby?
Looks kinda messy, you might want to play around with the juxstaposition of the sprites.
(Man, I love that word)
I like it so far, but the one thing that bugs me, is that when i read it, it looks like Adventure Studio game. I don't know why i see it like that, but to me, that is the only problem i see so far.
I do like the graphic itself though, very colorful.

My first thought was that these are games that inspired people to make adventure games so I thought the charachters might look good on the site. Yes I'll replace Garfield with some other charachters.

Now that I look at the text, I agree. Second one it is.

Yes I see what you mean. I'll try moving things around.
I cant upload the changes untill monday, Im going away for the weekend. Thanks for your suggestions, I'll also change the site by monday as well.
Using non-AGS game characters isn't very appropriate however the first works better, I feel. I think this is because the graphical style of those sprites is passably similar.
The AGS sprites are in very different styles and don't look that great together. The sizes are inconsistent, Though Piet is low-res, it doesn't look right for him to be three times smaller than Garfield.
Even though the Ben Jordan games are terrific, Ben isn't particularly distinctive. If I were you I'd choose some of the most visually recognisable AGS characters and redraw/rework them yourself in sillouhette.
It would be fun to try and work out which character was which.
Im just posting to say that I changed the picture and it's now part of my website, check first post.
