+Harwell5 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'm thinking of H to the 5th power of some sorts with lightening bolts and also would like red as strong color. Unless you have some other/better ideas. Here's something quick and basic along the lines you said. All the time I have for at the moment. And here's one for the future Those are cool, thank you. I was thinking more of an H with a superscript 5 (or 6 ) and red-ish glowing lightening bolts around. The font style doesn't have to be the same as mine. So other styles may look better with a "power" type feel. Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment

More to get some feedback than anyting else. I'll try to get something out in a day or two, and maybe someone else can do something in the meantime. Quote Link to comment

I see they are doing more upgrades today... Otherwise we are going to be busy soon. Nothing showing at 1051 MDT. Everyone have copies in case?

+Harwell5 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 What about a cartoon of Signal (or other similar) dressed in white painter's overalls and one of those white painter's caps with either crossed or uncrossed arms with one hand holding a paint roller and the other holding a GPSr? Maybe Signal could have a puzzled look not knowing which way to go. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment

Maybe Signal could have a puzzled look not knowing which way to go. Just a thought. I'm getting back to this slowly, but just a comment. I've been getting a bit uneasy about our using GC symbols a bit to freely. There are limitations to what you can do with them as noted in several FAQs and much earlier in this forum... but yet we are still working with things that are someone elses intellectual? property. I'd love to hear from someone as to whether even the 4 colour square is protected. I suspect that the 'unaltered' bit would apply... we can use them non commercially with limits, but there are some. just a thought... Anyway, when I heard 'contractor' and 'painter' in the same line, I went back to my memories of school, the game with three words and you draw something incorporating all three, each modifying the image of the other two... I'm missing something right now, but I flashed to 'mr and mrs Smith' with paintball guns... but that has been messed up by your house painter... perhaps a 'aunt polly's fence' thing. Got to run, more classes. Doug Quote Link to comment
+roziecakes Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I've been wondering that myself, I think making a cartoon of Signal is probably going a little too far with it... but that is a really cute idea! -Rozie Quote Link to comment
+Harwell5 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Didn't know about the "limited" use of Signal. Sorry about that. It was just a thought, because I seem to remember seeing a picture of him a while back that had him in a painter's outfit. I may be wrong, but it may already be created for use. I wouldn't know where to look though. It's not on the goodies page. Quote Link to comment

I wouldn't know where to look though. It's not on the goodies page. It's not so much that we can or can not use something... but that those of us that are new to creating the avatars probably don't have sufficient knowledge of the of the subject of what is permitted. There is a link back in the first page of postings that point to the 'rules' regarding GC logos and trademarks etc. It is interesting to read that, a bit confusing to me ( I'm not a lawyer), and it seems to both permit non commercial usage without modification and with credit, to forbid alteration of, and to at the same time allow for having some fun with the items... I have done a bit with the 4 colours thing, usually slightly modifying the colours. That seems to be the most common request. And to be honest, I've not seen anything that indicates any displeasure with that part. Signal of course is getting more proprietary, as are the actual logos and symbols themselves. There was a thread about a 'user' image that would be public domain for us, but I lost track of that one... they were working on a graphic that we could improvise with at will. [edited ] Public Domain Logos One problem we face, again, is the 75x75 pixel rule for avatars... shrinking things to that size seriously limits resolution other than a few blobs of colour, so it may be that for that size, we can be a little more 'free' to express ourselves... within the limits of good taste of course... since no one can truly see it anyway, and it is limited to a GS site. As for large art for the profile page and other uses, THAT is where we need to be careful a touch. Your idea for a painter cartoon is sound though... good one.

+TechnomageUK Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hi Guys Not been around for a while, work pressures. Just been going through the thread not really expecting anything and find somebody has been looking at an Avatar for me. I know these things are a big ask, but as somebody said in an earlier thread. Creating avatars for us non artistic folk is a bit like creating a spell for us. Living in hope :-) Pete Doug told me he ws working on something for TechnomageUK, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind someone else putting something out too. I played around a bit but came up short. Then there's wa3. I don't know if they have anything yet or not. The problem is that if you don't see their first post, and they get an avatar, you never know if what they have is the finished one or not. I used to do this for a computer help forum a couple of years ago, but there we had our own private forum where we were assigned jobs in rotation. Easier to keep track that way The worst thing on here is you will get a request, work on an image, and the requester never comes back! I have started sending a PM to let them know I finished one for them. Oh well .. it's all good! Quote Link to comment
+TechnomageUK Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I have to say that now I have gone through the thread and looked at all the Avatars they are awesome. I envey those with the ability to be so creative, I couldn't even draw a straight line lol Quote Link to comment

BTW... don't know if you have it down pat or just 'fingered' this time. Your quote didn't work because... you deleted the quote reference and STARTED with a '/quote', Use the bottom quote button then reply, then carefully delete what you don't want... but you do need the first and last tags and the reference... of course... it could simply be a late night / early morning there... eh! Might also be the system... I got 6 notices for two replys from them. Doug Quote Link to comment

Doug I'm not really sure how the quote works, I tried to just quote a couple of lines and it presented me with the whole post so I deleted a section. I work with computers but don't use boards much Thanks for letting me know, I will be carefull when editing to not remove any code markers. I'm going to go through the thread again, not sure if your reference to "hope you like one of them" means I missed one for me? Pete Quote Link to comment

WanderWomen Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Anyone have time/energy to take a crack at ours? We like the basic concept, just want a little more pizazz. The basics of it are we are both Cancer hence the moon, both women hence the female symbol and then we added the compass points. Would love something we could make a pathtag out of.

The basics of it are we are both Cancer hence the moon, both women hence the female symbol and then we added the compass points. Would love something we could make a pathtag out of. Hi There... I've grabbed what I could from your post, including the avatar... For the first time in a while, I may have some time this weekend, so I'm going to ponder it. Barring a SAR event coming up at least I can do that much. It's a holiday weekend for Canada. One thing that would help any of us... do you have a larger version that you could post in the forum post? It might be that you have one that would be about 4 to 6 hundred pixel square roughly. Makes life a little easier. Say if you don't know how to get it in... it's not hard, but some people don't get it. Of course it may want total redraw, but it is a good starting point... even I get the message. [edit... to be very clear... female, geocache, astrology symbols... simply done... something with Moon, Venus, Cancer and the compass rose perhaps... I see mizdeeds has one already... I'm still thinking.. researching etc. actually like the profile image as an influence... also considering the fact you might add team members. so it should be sort of neutral that way. end edit] Doug Edited May 15, 2009 by 7rxc Quote Link to comment
