For reasons that elude me, I was suddenly filled with the urge to create an LRV stamp image. --cScott 00:51, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Oops! Forgot to make it transparent. I'll upload an updated version shortly. --cScott 00:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

It's still not showing up as transparent (although it does locally, on my computer). I'll keep monkeying with it though. --cScott 01:02, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

It was just my browser cache. It seems to be correct now. My test version of your template is at User:CScott/LRV test. --cScott 01:08, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the LRV stamp image. The image still needs blue letters and blue circles. The SRV image uses green and the NRV image uses red.

Good point. I'll see if I can put together a blue version. --cScott 02:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Uploaded new (blue) version. --cScott 16:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

The thumbs up symbol should probably be replaced with the word "lots" to be consistant with the other stamp images on the contradiction article.

Also, I think the blue color is a little bit too dark. It should be as dark as the other stamp images The background of my LRV template is only dark to make it a different color from the NRV background, which has some blue in it. --Sbluen 22:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I don't have Photoshop (or any decent image editing tools really), so I don't have any way to make new text in the style of the text that's around the circle (which is why I went with the thumb in the first place, instead of "Lots" or "Lots of"). I should be able to lighten the colour up a bit, if you'd like, but otherwise you'll probably need to see if someone with Photoshop can work on it for you. Sorry.

I decided to go ahead and see what I could do with it anyway. I lightened the colour a bit (I tried lightening it even more, but much lighter than this and the "texture" starts looking odd), and replaced the thumb image with the text "LOT OF". I tried to pick a font that at least sort-of matched the other text, but I'm not 100% happy with the result. I think it turned out okay though, all things considered. --cScott 18:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

We also need to talk to Carlb about fixing his SRV template. --Sbluen 00:00, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
