Hope nobody minds that I kinda ran away with this thread. Even though I'm not nearly as talanted as AH and others I have a lot of fun doing this kind of stuff.

 

I'm losing track...Did we miss anybody?

[+Gizmo & Brazin]

Wow! There is a lot of talent around here. I have seen some really cool avators. Great work, everyone!

[+Hydnckr]

I would love a cool avatar that I can use here as well as for my sig cards, profile page, etc.

 

I chose the name Team Hydnckr (as in Hide n Seeker) because it represents Hide and Seek, basically the game we play with our GPSr's

 

I'm open to all kinds of ideas, I like the idea of something as a mascot instead of just a graphic. But I don't necessarily have a mascot in mind, perhaps an animal ? I was never able to come up with an animal that plays hide and seek.

 

I use a Garmin eTrex Legend

 

Thanks in advance for any ideas people come up with.

[+Huntnlady]

I still need help!  I'm just no good with graphics.

An attempt for HuntnLady...

 

Thank you so much, dinohunters. I love it, just made my dress a different color- I would never hunt in blue, the deer can see it a mile away!

Uh hem.

...

I am male

My geocaching tag rusty_tlc = rusty toyota land cruiser. I drive a 1975 toyota FJ40 land cruiser that looks like it is abandoned when I'm on the road.

I would love a cartoon FJ40 (top off) to use as an avatar. I picture something like the cars in the Chevron commercials, headlight eyes and stuff? Really big chunky tires, roll cage, maybe a few rocks flying. And it must be green. Not yellow.

I'm losing track...Did we miss anybody?

 

Well, i got stareted, using all the crude tools i had.........

 

I just need some refinement, a cool Lake, woods or sky backround.

Maybe a Blue Garmin in the right hand, and a Non GC.com, but similar flag off the back rack. I'd prefer the colors on the flag to match the backround more than the traditional caching colors.....

 

I must add a HUGE thanks to all who are participating in this. I im forever grateful...... I had fun getting as far as I did, but Im sure it can be alot better when talent is applied !!!!

 

PS- I did try to blur the namebrand/model on the atv pictured, If that is a problem.... Just as long as its red. . . .

Thanks again

Skigirl43 was looking for one. Female, obviously loves skiing as well as hiking. Uses a Garmin Gecko, but I don't think that's important.

 

I'd ask for one too, but what the heck does a 'briansnat" look like?

I know! I know! Usually briansnats tend to look like this:

 

[+PSUPAUL]

OK, I'll throw out a request. My name is PSUPAUL, my family team name is Team GeoRemdation. Either would be cool to use. We cache with a Magellan SportTrak. I am PSUPAUL because of being a big PSU alumni and fan, We came up with Team GeoRemdation because we we thought it sounded cool after my son mispronounced redemption so we geo-fied it. We normally cache with our Black Lab Chloe. We are two parents and two boys.

 

Anthing else?

 

Thanks for any help

Um, I could use some help. I know I didn't give anyone much to work with. Let me know what other info I can supply.

[MustangPhreak&Phate]

We have been trying to toss around a few ides for a new avater/signature card graphic but have been falling short..maybe one of you amazingly artistic minds could come up with something for us.

 

One of our favorite books is "The Tao of Pooh" (see current avatar) and our signature item is a YinYang Necklace (for now).

Perhaps someone could come up with a cool GC related YinYang?

 

Thanks in advance if anyone happens to bite. 

 

 

Us too please!

If easiet the yinyang could just be made with a splash of GC colors....

I couldn't come up with anything that seemed to fit all of you, so I went with simple and to the point.

 

Thanks ChrisS. I appreciate it.

[+Scoobie10]

This is a great idea and I would like to get on the list for a logo size and an avitar. My user name is Scoobie10 but you can leave off the "10". They wouldn't Let me have just Scoobie so I had to add the number. I'm wide open to any ideas and thoughts.

 

Maybe some info about me will help:

I use a Garmin Vista and I like the pics with the geocaching colors mixed in somehow. I'm a big Jimmy Buffett fan and motorsports fan (NASCAR). Maybe an island theme with Scoobie in it or something of that nature. I also own a Dairy Queen although that doesn't have to be used unless you come up with something like Scoobie eating an ice cream cone! lol......ok, that might be a little weird.

 

just some thoughts......thanks!

 

Scoob

 

Thanks!

Can you change the GPS to a Blue etrex Legend, and add the bell theme somehow?

 

That is great.....THANKS

I really like your current avatar, but here's something different that would work well as a stamp or coin.

Thanks so much! I like it a lot.

[+Riddlers]

So much talent here in this thread, every day I come back and see how great the creativity is. I assure you that I really need an identity. I go from a fire hydrant to roses that I grew myself and back to my toy ambulance. Even if it was a play on our name or that fact that Riddle is a very old town with history and that is why we are rebuilding two 100 year old houses here. It is not for the Batman riddler but for the old town in southern Oregon that we live in. Any help would be great as I don't have much imagination.

Chris, you ROCK! The Scoob avitar is great! AH and the others have a lot of talent too, but you have done an awsome job. I'm wonderin' if AH is on vacation, or if he has just turned the reins over to you.

[Obvious Sock Puppet]

If someone has some free time could you add a cape to my sock puppet... he's reached superhero status in recent late night IM sessions. I asked Gentlewhisper to add a cape...and she tried hard, but it looked more like a wing. [sorry GW]

Thanks. I don't have drawing talant like AH and some of the others, but I am pretty good at doing a "Photo-Chop" and building layers out of existing images that can then be rearanged and edited to add elements. All I did for Scoob was Google for an image, cut the DQ sign from a post above, flip scoob's paw over, and place a GPS in it.

[Obvious Sock Puppet]

Oh GW tried again and got a cape on my sock puppet. Thanks.

[+ShadowAce]

Please, please please do me. So to answer your questions, I am female, but name is plural cause my husband likes to come along. I wear many hats including firefighting, and paramedic. I have tried to make an ambulance or some kind of Steve Berry type medic looking for the patient with a gps, something just a little different but nothing looks good shrunk down.

I know.. I know.. stay out of our conversation but I just had to try.. It was a bad day and I was upset, so I decided to work on this and hopefully get a smile from someone..

 

 

Hope it is not too bad in the eyes of others..

[+JMBella]

Looks like Brian filled up on too much Garmin.

Ok - you guys inspired me to finally change mine...

Do you have a nice "Welcome to Riddle" sign for the town?

[+Mud Puppy]

Here's a GPS that would suit the image better

Just thought I would try out a post with my new Avatar.

I've never had a custom made Avatar before.

I sure hope it works.

Here we go....Thanks Chris S.

Any chance I could get a larger picture for other projects?

Unfortunately the image I used was quite small.

With some editing I might get it to double the size, but even that will get a bit fuzzy.

There's a Riddle sign in my gallery with my husband behind it.

[+Riddlers]

see, using this avatar just doesn't say, "I'm here"

[+Doc-Dean]

Just got to read through this whole thread...

 

Great jobs on all those avatars!!

[+Bluegrass Gyrl]

 

I would love to have something like this modified to add the "Gyrl" part. I plan to have a stamp made with the image too!

 

Thanks!!!

i like this one. straight and to the point.

[+zygote2k]

could you put a Z2K in the middle of my avatar in place of the face? Maybe Z2K like a chemical compound?

Cool, thanks!

[MustangPhreak&Phate]

McWeb, looks pretty cool but could you (or someone else) possibly make the blue and green a little darker? Also, I'm thinking that our whole name might be too smooshed on the smaller one when used as an avater.. is there anyway you could just put MP&P on that one.

No biggie either way, thanks so much for the attempt!!

[+Strapped-4-Cache]

As can be seen in my profile, my avatar has been created with standard clip art and some WordArt text modification.  Nothing fancy, but it got the job done.  Team Strapped-4-Cache consists of me (Strapped-4-Cache), wife Penny Wise and daughter Pocket Change.  We'll be adding one more to the team through adoption, but that'll be a year or so before that happens.

 

We cache with a Magellan SporTrak yellow and a Garmin Vista.

 

The meaning behind the name should be self-evident but also has a dual meaning.  We can't find enough caches, and we're often short of cash!

I figured I repost my request here.

 

Now that I understand the first attempt I think it's OK, but would like to see other people's ideas as well if possible. Kinda difficult to do anything with ours, but it can't hurt to ask...

 

Thanks again,

 

- Mark (S-4-C)
