+islander1988 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Yup, a lot of good designs coming out. It's going to be a tough decision! Link to comment
+fox-and-the-hound Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Uno mas. It would be unfair to vote my own, but I like this one for design, simplicity and ease of conversion. It will also be a little less expensive to reproduce. Good job Caching Widow! ot: My wife(Moun10Girl) and I both love your personal logo, too. Link to comment
avroair Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Wow! There are some really nice ones. I can't decide! :) Link to comment
+fox-and-the-hound Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Caching Widow, what program are you using? I'm trying to find someone who can help me with a "Free Transform" in Adobe Illustrator. I think it's broken I'm doing what the book and online help tells me to, but's it's not working. Any ideas from anyone? edit for punctuation Edited October 25, 2006 by fox-and-the-hound Link to comment

+forthferalz Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I did a search and came up with "inkscape" a free scalable graphics program for anyone like me still using paper and pencils Link to comment
+9Key Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Some cool designs here. I would like to add that 4 colors or less would be preferrable for tshirt artwork. Link to comment

ParentsofSAM Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Ok here is a question from me who knows nothing about this art work stuff.... If you make a picture and it is saved as a jpg or tiff or pdf and then you just save it as a .eps does that make it scalable? Or does that just make it an eps file. I am so confused.......I may just give up.....the designs here in this thread are already so nice!! Link to comment

I am so confused.......I may just give up.....the designs here in this thread are already so nice!! Don't give up! A jpg, tiff, bmp, tga, gif, etc are files containing pixels and therefore can not be scaled up. EPS or Encapsulated Post Script is fancy words for a file that contains information based on simple instructions that tell another computer to draw a line from point A to point B. Every time it's used it can be told to draw longer lines making it great for scaling. Link to comment
ParentsofSAM Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) OK so here is my attempt...obviously it needs help. I wanted the coins to be more like grapes and be layered in the design but could never figure out how to do that...... I am sure someone with talent and skill could make it look really great. Here is my other idea....needs some work too. I could not figure out to make the text shaped nicely around the edge. Edited October 26, 2006 by ParentsofSAM Link to comment
+The Dillon Gang Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I'll give this a shot....Here's what I came up with. This one is nice. ditto....how bout putting gc.com logo in the middle of coin warped in a circle? Link to comment
+Haughton's Hunters Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Amateur artist question...what does scaleable mean? Vector art could be another term. The artwork can be increased or reduced in size without effecting the quality of the image. In otherwods, the art doesn't have to be redrawn to fit a certain item. OH well I have no idea how to do that. Guess I'm out, good luck to everyone else! It would be great to see all the entries here even if the event committee is the only ones with votes. To clarify a little more for those that don't understand the different between vector and raster. Raster art examples are - JPG, GIF, TIF and PNG Vector are examples are - AI (Adobe Illustrator), DWG (AutoCAD) and CDR (Corel Draw) To explain WHAT the difference is, try this. Open a JPG you have on your computer in your favorite paint program or graphic viewing program that you can zoom in with. I use ACDSee for viewing, but MS Paint works for this purpose. Now, start zooming in. Notice how the lines are getting thicker and real jagged and "blocky"? This does not happen with a vector graphic, lines stay crisp and clear and the same width. Hope that helps. Oh, and taking a JPG and saving it as a vector format does NOT make it vector. Link to comment

+Cornerstone4 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 As AG stated, the deadline for submissions is tomorrow. The committee will then go through all the submissions, and present the finalists. We will then open a poll on the GeocoinFest website and everyone will have a chance to pick their favorite. The website will be ready soon, they are waiting on a lot of info from me regarding local attractions, etc. I have been swamped with a design project, and just popped in here for a quick breather! Back to work! Link to comment

That way we can get the poll/vote set up over the weekend. Thank you to everyone who has participated so far. There are a lot of great ideas here. Link to comment

+jennycaz Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I realized I should not have had the geocaching logo in the design since the design will be on merchandise so here is a do over. Link to comment
+fox-and-the-hound Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Just a friendly reminder to everyone submitting. The original specs indicate no gradient (mixes) colors. This would also indicate no drop shadows that use gradients either. Solid colors will be needed to do print screening or vinyl cutting apparently. There's still some time to make adjustments and there are some really nice ones showing up, too! Keep'm coming, these are some great ideas Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) Here's another. Very nice, but please note that we won't be able to use anything resembling the Groundspeak logo due to trademark violations. Also the stuff Fox and the Hound mentions... no gradients. Solid colors only please. Edited November 3, 2006 by AtlantaGal Link to comment

+AtlantaGal Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 The four colors behind it looks good and I don't think they have rights to colors in boxes! Very nice! The colors "looking" nice isn't an issue. Having a logo that looks like or uses part of another trademarked item is a problem though. That's why the back of the absolute coin is not squares, btw. Besides, since Groundspeak is an event sponsor, we certainly wouldn't want to create anything that might upset them Again, please refrain from using anything that resembles the Groundspeak logo, thank you.

If that's really an issue then the absolute coin shouldn't have been made as it closely resembles the Absolut brand. There should be no legal issues with using the four colors in a box as the image showed above. Note: this is a personal opinion, not that I'm speaking on behalf of Groundspeak or giving legal advice. Now if you don't want to use the colors, that's a different point. Edited November 4, 2006 by Flying Spaghetti Monster Link to comment
