According to the discussion page, someone changed the image unilaterally from this (which illustrates a devil and a god both smirking) to this (which only illustrates an angel and the devil being put down by someone else).

Methinks the older image illustrates the "god" aspect better than the new one; opinions?

Very meh on the old one, but the new kinda relies on knowledge of the game to know that that's supposed to be God.

Current has to go. Previous is a weak put back. I mean, they look like dicks.

Don't care for the old. New is prettier, but an even worse page image. Incidentally, neither Old Luci or God feature in the new. Pretty sure the red guy is just an oni.

Personally, I would favor no image, but that's just me.

Both the old and new kind of suck.

[up]I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing there. So, no.

That said, none of the images were good for me, so I'd probably say blank

I'm with Rethkir in (weakly) supporting the original. They're easily recognizable as God and a devil, and they kind of look like dicks.

Do they? Looks just like some people grinning.

The old one looks like "malicious smirking" to me, so yeah.

Agree. It's not that great but there is a hint of malice I think.

[up] I'm also going to vote a weak keep. It's not harming the page or misleading, and I think the "malicious smirking" interpretation is valid, so leave it alone for now.

I think the original is worse than the one it was replaced by (which is also not very good). Nothing about the two smiling faces suggests they're jerks in any way.

Voting BUPKIS here.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

I got nothing else to contribute, so I'll vote for the previous page image to stay.

From Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. A bit wordy, but it works. Edit: original.

There's also this odd and oddly disturbing painting. Not sure it counts, but putting it out there.

[up]The second looks confusing, and Satan looks like a decent person in the first.

I interpret it more as Satan just being tired of God being such a whiner and cutting in on his jerkiness. There's no indication this Satan has one of the Hell of a Time type hells. But whatevs. Whatcha guys got?

BUPKIS. The old image shows both of them smiling in a very friendly manner, showing no indication that either is a jerk.

Unless some artistically-inclined person wants to make a picture of Grandpa God and a Big Red Devil flipping off the camera, we should keep it blank for now.
