Lava Member Posts: 1905 From: Registered: 01-26-2005	I'll post one, but it will be hard to keep up since people are already accustomed to his. ------------------
crazyishone Member Posts: 1685 From: Registered: 08-25-2004	Actually, I really like buddboy's. It will look especially good if the BG color of the site is the same of the image, or if (Buddboy) still has the gimp file (xcf?) he can make the black background transparent/alpha. imo, images w/o borders (using css) or that dont blend into the background look like crap. Thats why when my screen is bright, the fact the the CCN logos have defined edges bothers me... ------------------ "I bleed black tears" Will the emo kids be my friends now?
CPUFreak91 Member Posts: 2337 From: Registered: 02-01-2005	Oh also, if there is a single color background (like buddboy's), please make it transparent. ------------------ All Your Base Are Belong To Us!!! chown -r us ./base "After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless.'' -- Tao of Programming Book 2

Lava Member Posts: 1905 From: Registered: 01-26-2005	that sounds like a good idea, I will just have to see how well it fits into the font many thanks ------------------
Lava Member Posts: 1905 From: Registered: 01-26-2005	Here it is, thank you Firemaker for your idea CPU, my entry will be whatever logo you think is better of the 2 I posted. ------------------
crazyishone Member Posts: 1685 From: Registered: 08-25-2004	i dunno. with both o's replaced by it, and at the angle they are... it looks like male and female symbols. which isnt bad in itself, but i dont think joe's site has anything to do with male/female junk. Looks cool though. like the style. ------------------ "I bleed black tears" Will the emo kids be my friends now?
Lava Member Posts: 1905 From: Registered: 01-26-2005	well I could put the Q back to the original and just make the O part of the power button. What does everyone think of that? ------------------
firemaker103 Member Posts: 643 From: Registered: 07-13-2005	I say remove the power button from the Q, leave it in the o, and take it away at the bottom. Edit: Imagine that with the binary backround... drools ------------------ "Be nice to the nerds because later on, you'll be working for them" - Bill Gates [This message has been edited by firemaker103 (edited March 24, 2006).]
Tonnyx Member Posts: 140 From: Indiana, USA Registered: 08-02-2005	Here's my contribution: I will, say, though, that not knowing the background color you're planning on using makes color picking a little difficult. It's not very original, but I like the clean lines and the ones and zeros. But then I realized that, being outlined in black, it won't show up if you have a black background. Hence this: But then I thought, you know, why copy off lava's color scheme? Here was the outcome, but it looks better against a lighter background: So, that's what I've come up with so far. ------------------ it's pronounced "tonics" [This message has been edited by tonnyx (edited March 24, 2006).]

CPUFreak91 smacks buddboy with a linux cd Lava: Well, I agree, the q should be a regular q. Also, to gain an even better chance of winning, should should at least make it transparent (I can edit the border color if need be) and/or add 0's and 1's.
