==Poll== 
 In an attempt to end this edit war, I've decided a poll is in order. For the time being, NO image will adorn the top of the page, until we have reached a consensus. I know this is pretty stupid, but so is this edit war, and we can't seem to appease this guy (or these guys?). 

 So, here are our pictures. Keep it to Keep or Delete, explain why, et cetera et cetera. 

 I apologize if I sound kinda rude or angry or anything, but this has been going on for way too long now. I just want a definitive answer.

 150px|Sonic, in a promotional image for the first Sonic the Hedgehog game. Artwork by Akira Watanabe. 
 *Keep - top of page, where it has been for most of the time. This picture has kinda always represented what Sonic is, to me; cool, easy-going, and certainly not TOO over-the-top.

 *Delete. I hate this picture - maybe it's all the reverting I've been doing to keep it down where it had been, but then again, this picture has Sonic with a VERY stupid grin, is nothing but a measly 3D render (whatever happened to the days where an actual PICTURE was what went on game boxes?), is a ridiculous pose to say the least, and has Sonic looking VERY off-model. I shan't say as I'll be sad to see it gone, if it goes.

 *Keep - unlike the Heroes picture, this one never really bothered me. It always kinda felt like a compromise between the new and the old, kinda like the Gems Collection picture mentioned above.
