A LOT of people have created T Minus accounts since the last time I did this, so I guess it's time for another round. If you would like a floating chat bubble icon like this one and like other people have, I can make one for you.
What I need from YOU is a relatively simple graphic symbol for your character in one or two colors that I can past into the template and animate. If you want to explore the depths of the character map and just put it in a comment rather than an image, feel free to do that, too. Just make sure I have the text color to go with it. If your character has a coat of arms or something, please simplify it into a single color outline-shape if you can--I would hate to cut out the most important detail because I don't know the canon well enough or something.
(There are also some generic T Minus icons in different colors here.)

Text color #003f87.
If you need a bigger version to work with we can crop again.

I went scouring google for her houseglass symbol - the best I found is the symbol on this wallpaper, but if that's too complicated, then the simplified version, solid red-on-black version is this one. Whichever is easier for you. :D
(You'd think it'd be easy to find two red triangles joined together, wouldn't you)

It's an awfully RED red, so let me know if you want it toned down a little.
no subject
But, eeee, thanks :DDDD

You could also have your symbol *include* a background, like if the interior of the circle in Tommy's (above) was filled in some other color. Or if Tommy's symbol was on a black background, and the interior disc was still white.
What is the symbol you're thinking about?

That's ok, I'm working on it right now. = ]
I just wanted to make sure a red background fit the t-minus device.
And I just did it but it looks too vague. I did find this lego version of Spider-Woman which has a good flat look at her costume. If I went with the triangle, would a black line around it be OK for this? I'll give it a go after I eat if so.

I must say the second one is cracking me up as it sort of looks like an all seeing eye.

If you do want to use the triangle i think it might be better if it were a little smaller?

Now for a name...

Pivoting from her screenname, and what looks like a long and complicated history of mistaken identities--aposematism is coloration that warns other animals that you're venomous or toxic; Batesian mimicry is when a non-toxic animal makes itself look I similar venomous or toxic one. Crypsis is the opposite, protective coloration that makes an animal look invisible or harmless. All of them seem to be varying degrees of on-topic?
Also, mithridate is a remedy for any poison, linked to a ton of ancient kings and the god Mithras.

I think I owe you a venomous sack or something. = ]

I'll add it to the directory.

Oh and I'm going for the first of the icons I posted, the web looking one, in case you track that as well.
