Mission:  AIL- a graphical history

This is a look at the graphics used for the Adventures in Loathing archived missions thus far, both the mini graphics used for individual pages, and the full logo used for the mission index page. Enjoy!
If there's a full and short version of a mission logo, I'll put the individual page's version first, then the index page image. I'll also use the same line break the archive uses.

We've had some interesting logos used on this very website for the Adventures in Loathing missions. A few ended up being too big to use on every page, so I edited a copy of it to use for the Rollover, Mission Finale, roleplay, co-write, and Live RP pages.

Here's a simple collection of those images, along with a link to the mission for you to please enjoy.
