I can change it, it's no big deal. So that's three votes for the scale, although once again I'm fine with the gavel too.

I didn't know this was a voting process. If it is, then I'm still torn between the two.
I think more people would get that the gavel means we're debaters. Don't know of too many people on this site that have heard of a libra scale, let alone know what it's used for.
I'm fine with both, but if I had a choice, I liked the scale's sprite better.

The scale's sprite is too big, plus it looks too pixelated and shoddy to be an official icon.
If it was touched up a bit and maybe made symmetrical, then I would consider it.
But I still think the gavel is amazing. Great job, FirustheHedgehog!

My personal favorites.People said:
I guess this doesn't narrow it down much... Except for the smash logo one. Only because I don't think it would be visible. Well, also because we already have a smash logo postbit to indicate whether we are online, and it might look redundant.
I think we should start voting on the 5 images I quoted.

I'd go with the scale, simply because in a debate, there's mainly two open sides, the traditional seperate ideas of an arguement.
In the Proving Grounds, it's not like that. It's more like the gavel where RDK and the other vets smack some sense into the newbies.
...
But I'm liking the scale more because of your way of thinking.

In terms of symbolism, the scale is probably the most relevant.

So do we have a poll with the following:
Or simply vote here? My vote's on Phoenix Wright(3) but I wouldn't mind the scale.People said:1

Poll is a good idea, that way voting is private and nobody has to search through the thread and count up all the votes. I'm still undecided on what I'm voting for.
I think we should probably resize the scale before we do anything, though. It can easily be resized, but it will look at least slightly different when it's resized.
Poll is probably the best way to do it, though. Easier way to count the votes, too.

I would much rather have a different scale sprite. The current one just isn't enough for me to go with the idea. I would like it resized or redone before we vote on this.

Okay then guys, update the scale, give me the final list, and I'll have the poll up. This thread will be closed afterwards.
I tried doing this one, but I don't think it's physically possible to fit "Objection!" into 19 pixels. Just doing the math it already seems impossible.

I like the Phoenix Wright one. Its very creative.

I like the Phoenix Wright one but the scape is fine as well.

It would probably be very difficult to make a 19x19 podium that people would be able to recognize as a podium. It seems like it would just look like a brown rectangle.
I'm Manfred von Karma though
Tbh, they all seem nice, so I have no OBJECTION!s to any of them.
Although now that Eor mentions it, Voltaire's head wins. In fact, the whole Debate Hall should change their avatar to the statue of Voltaire's head.

This statement is approved by Meta-Kirby.I'm more for the Phoenix Wright one.
Cmon, grimer vs. Phoenix Wright? Yeah, everyone would want to be in the DH then.
YEAH *****ES, LET's GO PHOENIX WRIGHT ON THEIR ***ES!

I like the Phoenix Wright one, it's pretty cool.
Objection would be really cool but it doesn't fit as others have mentioned. Now we just gotta wait for the poll I guess.

Wow this thread sparked quite a spur of activity around here. Five pages of posts in one day.
I like most of the ideas so far, but Phoenix Wright has my vote if he's an option.

Pheonix Wright would be my last choice. It doesn't look bad, but it's just kind of random and I don't think it fits well as something that symbolizes the DH. I think most of us would like it for a few days and then just get tired of it. I'm tired of it already.

I second this, besides we mean more business the n the BR. So far, the scale holds me.Pheonix Wright would be my last choice.

Eh, I agree with KrazyGlue. I'm starting to lean towards the scale a bit more.

☆ Being a defense attorney means you have to know how to debate or your going to make yourself look foolish. Pheonix Wright is the debater that come's up with interesting thoughts that no one could ever think of right out the bat, that's why I will say Pheonix Wright. ☆

I would say Phoenix, but the proposed icon for him is terribly ugly.
So I would say go with the scale, unless somebody can make a decent looking Phoenix icon.

Which still hasn't been redone and is too big, so how could we possibly consider it as an option?

Who says Phoenix Wright is like a BRoom icon? He just happens to be a character who can represent the DH who also happens to be well-known and liked.
Exactly this, plus Phoenix's signature is "OBJECTION!" Sure in his case it applies to court cases and law, which isn't necessarily DH-oriented, but it's become commonly used by people as a means to disagree and give a counter-point.
Also, the Libra Scale isn't really all that representative of the Debate Hall, come to think of it...I wasn't thinking about it before, but it basically represents this:

The thing that stands out is the "cooperation rather than competition", since, while we remain civil, the DH is still about a competition of wits to debate your side of the argument.
Karma is better than Phoenix. He is more infamous for objections, to the point where he'd object if you so much as breathe too loudly.
He's also mad good at putting forward a perfect case.
Of course, there's no bias involved here at all.
I quite like The Scalesof Justice though.

Umm, they both represent jokes lol? I'm not saying ti is bad, but a scale conveys our message better.
Phoenix doesn't represent a joke.
And, as I said, the scale is actually sort of contradictory to conveying the DH.

Have you never played Phoenix Wright? Phoenix is nothing of a joke, and perfectly conveys our message.
And I agree with Firus, the scale is more of a "coming together in balance, which completely does not represent the message we are trying to send. Since when have we "come together in balance" to argue?
The scale also represents equality, which definetly does not convey "Debating' to me.
And as I've stated before, the scale is still too big and the icon is pixelated and not well done. We have to see another fitting one before the poll is initiated.

Now that I look over all the choices, Phoenix Wright would be cool but doesn't make sense. Scales would be better.
