2009-06-26 My New RPG Network Logo Using Inkscape

My old X-Face logo is an traditional 48×48 black-and-white image. It is used on my blog in the upper right corner and on my old RPG Bloggers 170×50 logo:

Old Logo

I wanted to have a bigger and printable version of the logo. The problem with the old logo is that the background was is on a map I drew for a campaign of mine, based on a campaign map I drew, in turn based on the Lenap map of the Wilderlands of High Fantasy. If I zoomed in, the town name “Boghra Little” was going to be readable.

I decided to rearrange elements on my map such that only elements I had added myself were going to be visible, purging all traces of the Lenap map. And I was going to keep an SVG source file around. This also meant I needed to vectorize my old X-Face. No problem. Inkscape makes this really easy. The result:
