Previous thread HERE

The current image is a piece of fan art that I don't think we got permission for. While it wasn't regarded to be a problem at the time of the original thread, since then, we have become a lot stricter on these things, so it's probably best to either get permission from the artist (who is still active on their Twitter and Pixiv and is able to speak some English from the looks of it, so it shouldn't be difficult to get in contact) or just find another image.

As far as replacements are concerned? I like the original Cardcaptor Sakura image, as Sakura here does a good job at showcasing the stereotypical image of a magical girl (frilly dress, magical tool, animal companion, etc), so I won't mind reverting back to it.

There is also a collage that was suggested by Willbyr in the previous thread that I also like since it showcases a variety of magical girl types beyond the anime space. https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_magical_girl_collage_6977.jpg

Here is also this collage I found that also shows a variety of magical girls, this time the more famous ones. Though it's admittedly not great quality-wise.

I prefer 1.1, it's clear and to the point, but 1.2 is okay too. [tdown] on 1.3, it's too tiny

I'm leaning towards 1.1 too, because the image on the top-right corner in 1.2 is already on Beauty, Brains, and Brawn. Otherwise, we can just get permission to use the current image.

Might have gone a bit overboard. Wanted to show not just the standbys, but also non-Japanese ones too.

1.1. I just don't see the need for multiple examples.

I like the current for having multiple characters in a single image, but making a collage seems excessive. Has anyone attempted to contact the artist?

It's funny because we're all living in a simulation and free will is a lie.

I'd love to keep the current page image if we can get permission.

I prefer the original image over any of the suggestions.

1.1. If we want a collage, 7 is just too much, cut it down a bit in a way to keep maximum variety.

7 is good but excessive. Should we cut down two or so panels?

I'd like to apologize for all this.

I'm going to miss the current image since it's so iconic to the page, but if it needs to go due to permission issues, then I understand and vote for 1.1 as a suitable replacement. Sakura Kinamoto is THE Magical Girl, after all, since her series pioneered the genre.

[up]I won't. A single character, or even a collage of single characters are clearer. The current is rather busy, so I think the suggestions are an improvement in that area too.

I personally don't see the variety in 7 that would make the clutter of a collage worth it. They're all cute young girls in eye-catching outfits. Some of them aren't even very clearly magical.

It's more a variety in country origins than the girls themselves. The upper and bottom two are Japanese, while the middle four are, clockwise, Chinese, American, French, and Italian respectively.

Here's a modified one lopping off Cutie Honey and Madoka.
