And, how 'bout :ibm: for it? That way, we don't have to use this really long bit of code:

[color=red]I[/color][color=green]B[/color][color=blue]M[/color]

to get this: IBM, or this bit of code:

Code: Select all

to get an IBM logo.

:ibm: (if added) would give an IBM logo in five characters (VERY handy in a sig).

But then what about Lenovo?

:lenovo: would be:

Code: Select all

then.

Side-by-side comparo: (I want to see just how tall the Lenovo logo is...)

Edited for transparency

Not really... it's a rather simple search over at http://images.google.com

And then, it's fairly easy to make an image transparent (the Lenovo logo I grabbed wasn't transparent).

How do you make the backgrounds transparent????

Depends on your graphics app.

It's actually a pain in GIMP 1.x.

It's FAIRLY easy in GIMP 2.x.

Some apps let you just click on an area, and that color's made transparent. For that matter, MS FrontPage will work in a pinch for THAT.
