Shortscale plectrums - artwork thread

A bit debateable as to which forum to put this in but to keep it with the other I'll chuck it in here. This is the place to submit ideas (either as images or just verbal suggestions) for how these should look. We have the option of going for an image or going for text. Also for one-sided or two-sided. How you do it is up to you. The one thing I would suggest is we avoid non-shortscale memes that are from elsewhere on the internet.
As we're going for more greens than any other colour, we'll use a green for the blank ones in this thread.
We'll leave this running until suggestions stop and then make a poll from the submissions so keep the ideas coming.

The blank green image is 72dpi but this is more for ideas than anything else. We can do a proper one later.

Absolutely. If I was a mod I would lock this thread, forge a poll and get on the phone to Dunlop.

LOL, mike'd
Personally I think it should have hurb and euan holding hands on one side. That's probably my favorite shortscale imagery to date.

This almost makes us look like we're a hedge fund or consulting firm, although it is quite awesome.
We need to brainstorm the greatest SS memes: Dr. Spangle, Tell the Whole Fucking School, Fuck Aug, Black Aug, Word Harder, Halt The Salt, Where the Fuck is Padme?, Raptor Herb, Teh Kurdtz, Couch, etc.

Sorry, don't read much in the pub. Personally I would like it to be a little more sensible but yeh SS.ORG will have the over riding vote so no probs there.
