So, it's the time of the year to re-vote for Community Promotion ads on all the Stack Exchange sites. And while the ad we ran on Science Fiction & Fantasy last year was pretty good, I thought maybe I could do better. The following image is my attempt to prove that hypothesis:

This is why we can't have nice things.

I tried to incorporate some elements of our site design (colors, the robot/human on the side), and also appeal to fans of science fiction (Douglas Adams and exploding planets).

Before posting it on SFF's meta, I just wanted to get the community's blessing, and/or see if anyone had any suggestions for improvements.

**Based on the below answers, I have posted the updated image to Meta SFF. I will update as needed if any adjustments are suggested. **

  • $\begingroup$ @PatJ I'm trying to match the palette of the main site. So... maybe I can touch it up a bit, but I don't want to go too far $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I posted last year's version there already. I'd rather have this version than that one, so I can delete that answer if you want, or you can edit this image in place of the first one. Either way, I think this great. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @curiousdannii yeah, looks like I can. It started out over the size limit, but I guess 2/3rds of the data was unnecessary. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @curiousdannii yep, good catch, fixed that and some stars that were bothering me (they all bother me, but some less than others). $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I like the new proposal and think the Oskeron reference is confusing in the old one, I like this option. $\endgroup$
