        color and icon ideas for monkey to make a design can be done later.

      • reosarevok
        http://musiceventposterarchive.org/ is probably free, but it's a bit of a mouthful :p
      • 2016-02-10 04121, 2016

      • reosarevok
        Someone check if posterarchive.org is free?
      • 2016-02-10 04122, 2016

        you pick it. :)

        I wrote this the wrong place:

      • Freso
        22:27:57 Freso | I would probably just go for something simple like "Poster Archive".
      • 2016-02-10 04142, 2016

      • Freso
        22:28:04 Freso | Sure, it's not just posters, but eh.
      • 2016-02-10 04144, 2016

      • Freso
        22:28:19 Freso | MusicBrainz is not just "music", BookBrainz is not just "books".
      • 2016-02-10 04146, 2016

      • Freso
        22:28:59 Freso | Or Event Art Archive.
      • 2016-02-10 04148, 2016

      • Freso
        22:29:13 Freso | To match the Cover Art Archive.
      • 2016-02-10 04101, 2016

      • Freso
        Event Art Archive is really growing on me the more I think about it.
      • 2016-02-10 04125, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        Yeah
      • 2016-02-10 04128, 2016

      • Freso
        The "Art Archive" brand is easily expandable to "Artist Art Archive" or "Book Art Archive" or "Drinks Art Archive" or "Works Art Archive".
      • 2016-02-10 04143, 2016

      • Freso
        Or whatever art archive we could potentially have in the future.

        (wonder if that's a thing already)
      • 2016-02-10 04121, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        I feel "Event Art" also describes what you're trying to archive pretty well
      • 2016-02-10 04146, 2016

      • Freso
        Yeah.
      • 2016-02-10 04149, 2016

      • reosarevok
        Freso: is it free?
      • 2016-02-10 04155, 2016

      • reosarevok
        (I imagine so, but)
      • 2016-02-10 04156, 2016

        Gentlecat, your changes to MB.org seem to work quite well on most modern browsers that aren't Opera
      • 2016-02-10 04135, 2016

      • Leo_Verto
        Of course IE makes the search thing look a bit bad and Safari on iOS rounds the search box
      • 2016-02-10 04145, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        back to the drawing board then?

      • Freso
        I don't like doing actual image editing, but juggling formats etc. is fine.

      • 2016-02-10 04112, 2016

        Magic selection, and either add an alpha channel and erase or use color to transparency
      • 2016-02-10 04103, 2016

      • reosarevok
        (although mine was kind of a pain in that it had almost-white bits that magic selection was mis-selecting)

        Ah. I think I could probably make the background transparent using `convert` too.
