Lufty Report post Posted December 20, 2005 Dear All Now that we have a new forum (and slightly changed forum colour scheme) the hosts have decided we should have a new logo to go at the top left hand side of the forum. So get ready with your electronic paintbrush and enter our competition to design a new logo for the forum. The only stipulation is that the logo must fit in with the new forum colour scheme. E-mail your entries to hosts@asd-forum.org.uk Good Luck Lufty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TuX Report post Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) I'll have a go! What size does it have to be? Is there a specific theme to it (humans..) ,or can it be abstract and random? What is the closing date for getting images in? For those who want to make an image but don't have anything but mspaint,tux paint etc to use,download this: http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/ ^Windows version http://www.gimp.org/ ^Mac,other unix,linux versions It's free,opensource and like photoshop without excess options that the average domestic user won't use.

littlenemo Report post Posted December 20, 2005 What size does it have to be? To fit the top bar, it shouldn't be taller than 58 pixels Width probably no more than 250 max Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi TuX There is no specific theme for the logo. The image should be no taller than the blue bar at the top of the forum and no more than 300 pixels wide. The closing date will be 24th December 2005 so we can implement the new logo on Christmas Day. Good Luck Lufty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zemanski Report post Posted December 21, 2005 I like all the colours but I'm a bit dubious about jigsaw puzzles - other people use that image and I know some autistic people don't like the idea of being presented as a puzzle or enigma Zemanski Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oracle Report post Posted December 21, 2005 I am not to sure about the jigsaw puzzle because it's already been done. I also love the row of faces but for me they are too LOUD - just a tad to much in your face - but I really like the idea. Carole Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TuX Report post Posted December 21, 2005 i didnt reli know how to download the prgram it was tooo complicated! Viper, If you're using the windows GIMP site,this is how to do it: *go to the download page: *Download this: GTK+ 2 for Windows (version 2.6.9) first,and install it *Download this next: The Gimp for Windows (version 2.2.9) and install it GTK 2 has to be installed before the GIMP.

kirstie Report post Posted December 21, 2005 you clever bunch!! You would never know i used to do Graphic design would you???! about a million years ago before i had babies and computer graphics were introduced! keep going they are all so lovely and colourful. I liked the swirley multicoloured one, was that you Dodobird ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TuX Report post Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) ok thanks but im still confused i think i got them in the wrong order Dodobird. Was that to me? Did you install GTK first,and then GIMP? It doesn't really matter about which is downloaded first,I think if GIMP was installed first,it would give errors and wouldn't open as it relies on the GTK files. The bigger banners will need resizing a bit as the max size has to be 58 pixels in height,and up to 300 pixels in width/length?.
