 There _is_ a general need for clip-arts, buttons, banners and so on 
  with a circus flavour.

 Clip-arts need to be bold coloured and with generous width lines (more
  like cartoon characters) rather than reduced photo's 
 I am thinking of the old Tiger.pcx that came with one of the first
  Publisher programs, a 1 inch x 1 inch b/w printout is glued to my 
  office door and which I cannot scan....

 There are a lot of things "out there" but mostly somebody's copyright.
  All of us should look at our _local_ interest and film _our_ local
  circuses and juggling clubs and performers. That is the most interesting
  part to the average surfer - not seeing every site the same!

 To give an example - did you realize that circus _transport_ varies so much?
  Some countries still use railway transport, and have to adapt their road 
  vehicles to transport on flat wagons. Other countries use large lorries
  or even road trains, whereas others have concessions that determine the
  size and type of prime-mover and trailer that is used.
 Britain (.uk) has a tendency to use the largest, but still small, lorry that
  can be driven by someone with only a car driving license. Germany tends to
  pull trailers with agricultural tractors with speed limits of 7 km per hour
  or 20km/h etc., to get cheaper road tax and easier driver regulation.
 These sort of things (and there are others, such as differences in Tent design
  due to climate and fashion) that are different and should interest as many
  people as are interested in the artistes that you can show us.

 There is a need for animated gif's like the many jugglers I see (!) and
  I have seen a couple of fire-blowers (Kiva on the coney-island webpage
  was one of the best, but she has left the show and her gif has gone) as
  well as one poor tumbler who was doing flic-flacs continuously....
 A few buttons would be nice too...
 I have a bit of space on members.aol.com if people have material that
  they can offer like free graphics. I think _links_ only at the moment !!
 Don't send me binaries!!!
 And don't forget that Tony asked first. Offer them to HIM first! 
 

 That reminds me...
 I have been photographing some old posters as well as some circus wagons
  to get as much as possible of the old wood-block / wagon writing FONT
  that I remember as a child.
 I can send the selection to anyone who has the ability to build a True-Type
  font (and can generate the missing letters as well as setting the dimensions
  correctly) so that we can have a font for general use.
 Kalle ! I think you knew somebody who might be prepared to have a go?

 regards
Peter
