Keying off of whywhywhy's original Wiki Death Star, I decided to run with the joke. Since many who voted against that one said they either couldn't tell what it was supposed to be, or didn't think it was clear enough, I hope that this one satisfies those. Strong Rad 20:19, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)

You could try embossing the logo and using a 'hard light' blend, to make it look like the lines are grooved into the death star. I like the joke, but neither picture works well enough.
