Do like it. Very nice.

If we must have the joystick (which I don't like), at least let's keep it in its original height/width proportions instead of horizontally stretched as it is on DJ's most recent amendment.

I don't think text should overlap an image on a pub sign. Can't honestly say I'm a fan of the "Stay a while and read" line either; it just sounds a little awkward.

I thought just 'stay a while' was better.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

Yep. When I think of "Stay a while" it conjours up images of Cheers....wholly desirable feeling!

Not huge on the big image behind the text either. Pub signs tend to have a picture below the name of the place, after all. "Stay a while" does sound a lot better actually, less awkward.

Okay. I will do another revision tonight.

Yep, I really like that too.
We might have to do a poll at some point to decide what we go for.

"Stay & Play Awhile"
"Play Awhile"
Something that more emphasises the gaming nature of the site maybe? Would the sign colour in Half-Life orange look a bit off?
Just tossing ideas into the wind here. Looks pretty good so far though

I'll be honest, that last one doesn't look right. Also 'Stay a While' is inviting without the need to tell people what to do?

I must admit that my favourites so far are still the first and third posts on p3, but might prefer Animal's text suggestion of Stay and Play Awhile for the text.

I kinda like those too - get that alehouse atmosphere going
The "Stay awhile" for me immediately conjures up Impossible Mission - a game from waaaay back on the C64:
