I'm looking for one that would incorporate the Domino's Pizza Noid from the '80's, a GPSr and a White Jeep TB. Something like this pic...
Winning submission will get a $5.00 certificate to Domino's Pizza. Or a noid.
Here's a try....

For EarthDog....

Both great!!, however, I'm leaning towards something with a little patina or an antiqued look that doesn't necessarily need to have color.
Awesome!
PW
Maybe like one of these then .....

I don't like them.
My only experience with one to date was when I attended (as a relative noob) my first event. Took my young boys to the event where there was some printouts being circulated of caches. Then we search around in the woods in a driving rain, meet the cache requirements, photograph the results etc. Only to come back home and find that it was a MOC and I cannot view it or log it.
This was dissapointing to myself and the boys.
Almost a year later, I learned about the loophole which let me log the find, but by then it was pretty anti-climatic.

I wonder if it would be possible to have an avatar designed like this:
Round, with text: THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GEO-EARTHDOGS inside the perimeter, and cartoon of a happy dachshund and a Jack Russell Terrier's heads looking at an ammo can and or GPSr... or something like that.
Thanks. It would be for avatar, profile page pic, and membership cards in our secret dog society.
BUmp!
I saw that one, but I'm sorry, it's a bit above my talent level
I can get the circle with the text and the dogs and ammo can/GPSr but unfortunately I can't get all of that so that it's legible at avatar size.It is going to be very hard to get all those items into 75 pixels. Even the words alone in a circle are not really readable at 75 size. I have made an image of just the text to show what it looks like. If you like this text this way, let me know, and maybe scale back the amount of items requested inside and it may be possible.
Hope this helps - D.H.
:edit: Actually if you don't mind an oval shape, there might be better ability to read this text and place something inside of it... Let me know...

I'm looking for a fresh (no-pun intended) new look for my little cherub
PassingWind
How about this ?
I don't currently have an image host for a bigger version. - Will post one when my site is back online.
-
Wow, those are both great! I am kinda partial to the one with the Legend. Thanks!! Do you have bigger versions of them too?
Send me an e-mail with an address I can attach a file to, and I'll send you some files. I can make the JPG as many pixels big as you wish - pleasse specify. I can also send the adobe AI or an EPS vector file for you if you wish. Just say what formats you like in your email. - D.H.

For MarkZ to look at....
ooo pretty
thanks - personally I like this a bit better.....
-
If the avatar creation is still available...got any ideas for my user name?? Queen_Ladybug
how about something like this ?
-
I'd like some help with an avatar please. I'd like to incorporate one of the attached logos (doesn't have to be in the original color if you can do better), maybe the GX logo, the 4-color geocaching logo, and a Garmin Legend (blue) in the eagle's claws. Maybe my supplied image could have the 4-color geocaching colors in the chest shield behing the Z.
My username doesn't necessarily need to be involved. It is my first name and last initial with the year of my birth (I know, not original)
For MarkZ to look at....

My son has asked for an account of his own and we set it up today and did just over a month of entries that he was doing with me. His GC identity is velociraptor99 and I would like to suprise him with this in the form of an avatar and on a badge that he can wear on his shirt and on his pack bag. As my son has taught me, please and thank you are our friends, so
Being named "Dino Hunters" I had to do something for this one. Here's a try....
And large sized ? Let me know what you think.....

I think it will work OK within 161m, but lets add for the sake of completeness that in this case, I find a really good spot outside of this limit. It is still nearby the same trail (which circles a lake) and along the shores of the same lake. There are no other caches at this lake, so essentially it would be the same cache. It would take finders to the same lake and trail. What are the odds that a reviewer would approve new cordinates for the same cache in this circumstance ?
This is a fact-specific question that ultimately is between you and your reviewer. Other things to consider include whether it is the same container in a similar hiding place. When I work with geocachers on these issues, I ask them to put themselves in the shoes of a finder of the cache at its original location. If it was a new listing, would that prior finder say "been there, done that" when they visited the new cache? Or would they say "wow, this is cool, too... a bit different than the old cache."
Thanks Keystone - I'll keep those things in mind as I survey the area.
(of course I gotta build a new cache container first) (or locate the old one)

Lol, Special K beat me to it.
:::waves hi to Dino Hunters:::
HI back - you planning for the next one yet ? Planning on being there in 2009 ?
I am.

Sorry to hear of your cache being muggled. Good luck with your rehide!
Cache owners can adjust the coordinates by up to 528 feet (161 meters) by using the "Update coordinates" log type. This log type is accessed by putting your cache into edit mode and then clicking on the link appearing below the coordinates field. Adjustments for a greater distance require involvement by a volunteer cache reviewer.
If you need to move your cache by more than the maximum distance, your reviewer will ask for a reason. In many cases a move of that distance changes the character of the cache, such that a new listing may be the appropriate way to proceed. If you just found a better hollow tree 50 feet further off the trail, then it is the same cache and you should just make the change yourself.
Also, don't get the bright idea of "marching" the coordinates through multiple update logs, to get to a new location a mile away. Each log notice clutters up multiple e-mail inboxes, including mine, and is likely to attract unwanted attention to you and your moving cache by your usually friendly volunteer cache reviewer.
I hope that this information is helpful.
Perfect - AND lightning fast - exactly what I needed to know.

Hi.
One of my caches recently got muggled. I'd like to move it a bit to maybe get it out of the very high muggle area.
My question is... Is there a maximum I can move it and edit the coordinates on my own, or can I at all. Must I get a reviewer to make even the slightest changes to my coordinates ? If so what is this distance ?
I can't seem to find this anywhere, and if I read it once before, I forget the answer. - Feel free to markwell.
Thanks
D.H.

I've seen the great work you all do here and wondered if someone could come up with something for me. Mintaka is the third star in the belt of the constellation Orion. I have played around with Photoshop, Illustrator and Paint Shop Pro but I just don't have the creative gene
.Do you like this one ?
I made the third star red to draw attention.

Dino Hunters and/or anyone else with skills. I need to make a couple of updates to my avatar, and am hoping someone can help.
I have a new puppy, another Irish Wolfhound and will be having a son in the next couple of weeks. I'm not quite sure how to add them into my avatar and am hoping that you can be of some assistance.
Well since I still had the original file, I made some edits - how does this strike you ?
Technically the reason my images look the way they do (crisp and somewhat cartoon styled) is that I do not use photoshop or any other bitmap (matrix of pixels) editor to make the images.
I build them as vector graphics, and then export them to JPG (another bitmap format) at the size I need. I could export the same crispness at 800 pixels wide as easily as 75.
Do a google for InkScape for an open source free vector graphics editor. That's along the idea of the type of software I use for graphic creation.

There is a foreign coin exchange cache near me. It is meant to trade coins from other countries.
I enjoyed the cache.

I am new to geocaching and have enjoyed finding and placing a few caches...I have turned on at least two new geocachers as well.
I am wondering why Virtual Caches have been phased out. My cache would be a perfect place for a Virtual Cache...even most of the local Law Enforcement Officers don't know it exists!
I understand that I can go to Waymarking.com but I want to stay on geocaching.com.
Your thoughts?
Seems to me to be a handy way for Groundspeak to snag everyone for another premium account.
Marketing move.
Nope. Membership on one site gets you membership on the other.
I stand corrected - perhaps this fact should be advertised a little more, since there was at least one person under this impression. Good to hear.

Should I post or not ?
Basically this topic is outside my normal area of concern, so I was torn between posting and simply pressing the "back" icon.
There did however seem to me to be a particularly glaring absence of one single question, and any answers to it on this topic.
Having satisfied my own curiosity with some pointed googling, I will only post the question, and not any answers that I may have concluded.
Are there any meaningful statistics or studies showing that in fact this behaviour of "cruising for anonymous sex" in parks is in fact exhibited in equal per capita numbers by straight and gay people ?
If the answer to this above question is "Yes - and hetero people do it as much as gay" then we can basically remove the word gay from any discussion on public sexual behaviour in parks. If on the other hand the answer is "Yes - and it is more commonly done by gay people" then this discussion is on topic.

I'm going to try printing it off now to see how it will look on my new sig card's thanks!
email me with an address that I can send an attachment to. I can email you an AI or EPS or SVG file in vector format if you wish. Way better for printing on cards than a 75 pixel JPG.

Here's one for you guys to try. I'd like to incorporate the leatherman logo with a light-blue snowfake with our name in a half circle on top or bottom. Im good with autocad but I dont even have a copy of photoshop to even try. Thanks in advance!
Like this maybe ? ...
Cool!! Almost exactly the type and color of snowflake I was thinking of too. Could you please tweek a couple of things, can you change the font to comic san to match the look of the leatherman logo and increase the size of the leatherman logo to roughly match the diameter of the snowflake. Or would that look off, I dont know if you allready tweeked around with that option.
Dino Hunter thanks! To quote Wayne "Im not worthy, Im not worthy"
Maybe this ...

Can anybody put me in a Sharks jersey?
Would be most grateful.
Mahalo.
It would be against my loyalties to do so !!
I can get the circle with the text and the dogs and ammo can/GPSr but unfortunately I can't get all of that so that it's legible at avatar size.
