Please, if you are not staff, don't answer questions in this thread, even if you think you know the answer.

Also, please take complains about bans, question about TL as a site, etc to the Website Feedback Forum.

Who designed the pen icon? Or is it lost in history like some of the other TL icon designs?


My best guess is Saro who made a lot of the older custom staff icons back in about 2008. But I think the pen as we know it came after his time. Back then, writers were just blue or not. Blue then became recognition for service and the pen tier along with other tiers of staff showed up by around 2010. I did some of the later ones but I certainly did not do the pen. I don't know for certain who did!

I'd wager it was pachi. Around the time we switched from 'do stuff for tl = blue' to 'blue = tier within staff' pachi was the most active gfx person.

what was the reason for the tier change? lots of staff coming onboard?

I think it was with the introduction of banlings?

We should put in a TL staff history explained section in the staff page for LP.

Did you design the ban hammer?

Nope, probably pachi as well. I did newer stuff like the calendar icon.

I made the hammer, it was a placeholder.
Pen was someone else. I think maybe daigomi or xeo.

edit: apparently I did do the paintbrush.
Writers icon is still unknown. JWD/tadzio had a pencil suggestion:
