OK - this is pretty minor, but might be some fun for the artistic amongst you.

We have emoticons / icons for the other Civ releases:
Civ 1 [civ1]
Civ 2[civ2]
Civ 3[civ3]
Play The World [ptw]
Conquests[c3c]
Civ 3 Mac. [civ3mac]
Civ 4 [civ4]
Warlords [c4w]
Beyond the Sword :bts:
Test Of Time [tot]
(no Call to Power, or Alpha Centuri though.)

Anyway: Based on the screenshots and artwork for Civ 5 released to date, I would invite people to create a small icon for CFC to use for Civ 5.

Rules:
Must be a .GIF file.
Must be no more than 28 x 12 pixels.

Entries should be posted in this thread, and we'll then have a vote for the best. The best entry will be adopted as the post icon for Civ 5, and used at least until the official launch of Civ 5.
 
For each civ version, we have little icons:








I think I made the BtS one.. can't remeber..

Now is the time to make a cIV icon.

Please, submit your attempts :)
Here is my first:

 
Alright, here's my first submission.



And then I thought, you know, the V is so iconic… why not just make it a giant V?
So here's number two.




Couple of notes:

The Civilization logo appears to be using the Futura typeface, perhaps a specific version just for capitals, though likely it's slightly modified. (You can see the curvature of the finials on the capital C and you'll notice they curve in more than a Futura capital C.) I typed the first image in Futura.

Also, this is a bit crude, but if someone wants to start with the 'V' found in the logo, here ya go (it's far from perfect). This is what I used before resizing and making small alterations in the second image.

Spoiler :
 
CiV.gifJust did a short drawing.
 
Alright, here's two. I put the V separate from the CIV to hopefully avoid confusion with civ4. I also made one with a 5, if you prefer that. Question: Will all the icons be in the vote, or will you choose a few?

Its a 5 with a smile and a frown on either side to represent the yin and yang inherent in every game of Sid Meiererer's Civilization 5 the Video Game.

 
Here's one i did...

EDIT: Ah dang, thought it was 28x14, not 28x12...

My vote goes towards either ancestral or Agrippa.
 
I like f35acepilot's CIV5. Here's two that are slightly different from each other:
