I think a really cool looking image with TSA on the back and a simple question'

My recommendations would be:

Who are the Dunyain?
The No-God Rises...
The Second Apocalypse

I would personally slip these into GRRM, Brent Weeks, LotR, Brandon Sanderson.

Joe Abercrombie and China Mieville are also candidates. Any fantasy that is darker than your typical LotR knockoff. More author suggestions? I'm not as well versed as some folks.

I would stay away from Second Apocalypse, as there are religious overtones and a lot of nut job theories about Apocalypse nonsense. Too easy to get lost on the way here.

Here are a couple of first drafts, same theme, just vertical and horizontal options.  These are just jumping off points, to see what people like, don't like, sizes, etc. etc.

Honestly, it looks too much like sanskrit or arabic for me, but I'm uncultured :P

I like the top (vertical) one.  Possibly that on front and then your rendition of Kellhus (which I stole for my twitter account) on the back?

I'm not entirely sure we could get away with this one (from a copyright standpoint), but it's made to look like the cover of my copy of TDTCB (uses the same font, image, but I created a simple background texture for it).  It draws a visual association with the first book, but I realize there are other cover versions out there.  Thoughts?  Also, the cost of printing these is going to need to be taken into account if sending to a printer.  Full color, full bleed, double-sided will be more expensive than grayscale single-sided with a white border.  They could be set up to print on a color printer on card stock, doing all the cutting manually, and that would save a lot of money, but be more time intensive depending on how many you'd want.  Blah.  I guess those are just details.  Anyway...

I like that one better than the [first] couple.

Hmm, what about incorporating a map of earwa as the background to one of these?

Map version.  This is the best quality map I could find. If anyone has a better one, we could use that instead.

I really like that one, and it can be done in black/white, which is nice.

I'll look around and see what I can find later today, that map is of mediocre quality :P.

Would be nice if someone made up a logo for the PoN Wiki.

It'd be nice if the people running the PON/TSA Wikis would communicate and coordinate with us at all :).

Thanks, Madness.  I think the quality is a little better than the last one, but still not great unfortunately.
