The current image is a timeline of the series' release history, coupled with pictures of (a) Snake from each installment. It's a cool image, but it's huge and has not been properly resized for one. For two, at wiki-size the detail is basically illegible, all that you can still clearly see is Venom Snake from MGSV.

I suggest this collage that I whipped up, which features all three protagonists (Snake, Big Boss and Raiden) clearly:

I'm open to other suggestions, though. I originally wanted to use some of Yoji Shinkawa's iconic concept art (these are only examples, not actual suggestions), but I couldn't find any that I felt would be appropriate for a page covering the whole series. Something that shows the titular weapons could work, too.

Worth mentioning that the page is tagged with a previous IP thread, but the image that was chosen in that thread is not the image that is currently on the page. The old image is only marginally better than the current, pretty much only because you can still clearly see it at wiki-size.

I want 1.2 with a logo. It's a striking and iconic image plus 1.1 is boring.

[up] But that's just MGS3, it doesn't really work for a series-wide page.

I'm personally okay with 1.1.

After taking another look at the OP, I've restored the pic and caption that were decided on in the previous thread. Locking up.
