Dino Hunters Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 (edited) I love the frog but do think you could replace the catfish with a fish I found but don't know how to upload it to message boards I think that you could put a gps in its hand because its holding a fishing rod I have the image in my profile. but thank you for making this one for me OK - well I could not really work with the file that was so small in your profile, but I think I may have made an improvement anyways. What do you think of this one ? Edited September 22, 2004 by Dino Hunters Quote Link to comment
+Geocache Girl Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 What a wonderful thread, I want to play too! My attempt at an Avatar is meant to show a combination of my name and my love for my Geko 201! Could people help liven it up a little? Also please do something to my hair which is medium length straight brown, not the mass of frizz you see here. Oh dear am I that vain... Quote Link to comment

kimmyroo Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Such a generous offer! I'm brand new to geocaching, just got my 1st GPSr last week. I'd love to have an avatar. I'm female, use an eTrex Vista, and my name (ChanceRider) is because I ride my horse Chance. I'm hoping to be able to combine horseback riding and geocaching as I get a bit better - at both! I'd love to have the silhoutte (sp?) of a horse, maybe with the logo colors incorporated? Thanks in advance if you take this on! chancerider Quote Link to comment
kimmyroo Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Wow, I'm impressed. I wish a had just a fracton of the talent I have seen. There by, I will humblly ask for the Help of all these talented poeple. The wife and I cache together, we use a magellan sportrak pro. Our name comes from the cars we drive....dodge neons. Long story....it wasn't planed, it just happened anyway. I hope someone has an idea. not very creative but hope you like it Quote Link to comment
Rockymountainflea Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hi! You helped my brother, Texastracker, with his avatar and it looks AWESOME!!! Can you help me with mine? I can't seem to get the words Arkansas Cache Crew and the Geocaching colors on my avatar. Any help you can give would be GREATLY appreciated! I use a Magellan Sport Track Map GPS and would also like to incorporate the fact that Arkansas is the Natural State in my avatar. We are a family of 4, Mother, Father, 2 daughters. I don't know if that helps with the creative process at all. We are also new to this, but enjoy it immensly! Thanks for any help you can give us! For Rockymountainflea By way of explanation. Replace the word "Arkansas" with the map, and the avatar reads "Arkansas Cache Crew". The Apple blossoms are (of course) the state flower of Arkansas, so I made one with 4 blossoms to represent each member of your family. The green colour of the map of Arkansas is meant to represent it being the "natural" state. I hope this works. Thank you so much for the avatar. It looks great! I will use it from now on!

GoLeft Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 SCOOBIE 10 Sorry Scoob, It's only been 3 months since your request, but here is a crack at it. The biggest one has the sun with the colors radiating from the sun. The name tag has been modified from the standard "SD" to the number "10". Also your Vista is being held by his tail, and he is eating an ice cream cone. On the avatars, the sun was making it waaaay too busy, so I zapped it outta there. On one there is a white glow to kind of accent the scoob, and on the other one it is not there - you decide. Hope you like. <~GoLeft Curtis Quote Link to comment

+CrimsonWrath Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 I am looking for someone to do new avatar for me. I'd also use the new design on my website. That being the case, I wouldn't want someone to do it for free. Drop me an email if anyone is interested. I'll pay in many currencies: my signature tokens, Groundspeak gift certificate, US dollars... I'm thinking I want clawmarks that sort of form the shape of a 'C'. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment
Dino Hunters Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 (edited) Along similar 'lines' as YeOleImposter's request, I would like to request a simple line drawing that would capture "Pen&Card".

I don't post on the forums, but really need something nice to put on cards and labels as well as a B/W version to make a stamp.

Make sure to post more than just asking for one.....what are your ideas....are you male....female....what type of GPS do you have.......what is the meaning of your name.....etc Team Geo-Techsans is the name - comes from the fact that the 2 adults are both grads of Texas Tech mom, dad, 10 year old brother, 6 year old sister ideas would be the Tech double-t, the tech masked rider, or any suggestions from avatar creators we like the tech colors (scarlet and black) as well as the geocaching.com colors we use a simple etrex yellow gpsr 4. Please be patient. But of course! Many thanks for creating this thread!!! Not that I'm getting impatient (heaven forbid!), but wanted to bump this again in case we got lost in the shuffle.... Thanks go out to anyone who can take a stab at this one.... Quote Link to comment
+GreyingJay Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I'm showing off my new avatar This was a real road sign that I discovered today while caching. I actually did a double take ("did that sign say what I think it said??") and turned around and drove back, and took a picture. I only did very mild photoshopping to remove an accent from the last "e" in the word "cache". The fun part is that there actually was a cache hidden in the direction of that arrow (the cache I had just completed)... it wasn't quite 225 meters away though! Quote Link to comment

So if I could get that from you (both the colour and B/W), I'll be set! Please excuse my ignorance, but what's an EPS file? EPS: in this case, the original file is not a collection of dots in an X and Y grid. It is a collection of data basically describing the curves and objects that make up the picture. I convert it to the collection of dots (pixels) when I make the .jpg file you see on the forum web page. or the short answer.... the EPS file is the one your stamp company is going to want you to bring. E-mail me, and I can send you all the types of and background colours files you need. - DH Quote Link to comment

+CapnJackSparrow Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) TheGeoGoes,Sep 1 2004, 11:58 AM]So, since I don't have any concrete ideas for an avatar/logo I would be greatful for a really slick design that I could use both as avatar and for personal signature items. I'd love it to have some type of a Texas theme to go with the caching theme. Maybe the State of Texas ? Maybe a Double G for GeoGoes? I originally thought about an armadillo......but then i thought that they have probably already been used a lot!? I guess something totally original would probably be the best. Looks like you've been waiting long enough! How's this for starters. I used the TX state bird (mockingbird), the TX state flower (blue bonnet), and the colors of the TX state flag for the outline of the state. I used the generic GeoCaching logo for the double "G". Let me know if you like it and I can send you he full size for other uses. CapnJackSparrow Edit: Ok, for some reason the image wont show up so I will have to try again later as I am late for work ... sry Edit²: Got it! Had to leave work early to get back to this because it was bugging me that it wasn't working. Edited September 29, 2004 by CapnJackSparrow Quote Link to comment

So far, I haven't been able to find a suitable avatar. Think you could come up with something using a running greyhound? I prefer that it not be too cartoonish but hey, beggars can't be choosers. BTW, I like the one you did for Greyhounder using the geochache colors. Very cool. I had no idea you Amish were so handy with computers. Thanks.
