arctic Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 No problem, the star can be changed to the official one (with kinda glowing effect, if desired) and the "where our users..." part can be removed easily. It is all stored in different layers. And yes, these are emperor penguins. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josk Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Here is two drafts. Logo is now little stylish. Like it? Colors? Outlines? Both? -josk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Very nice, josk. :) Maybe without the sun in the middle of the "u" it would look even better. And how 'bout a blue-tone for the background that is somewhere between the dark blue and cyan? A very "mandriva-like" blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Looks cool. I agree with arctic with color thing. What's the code number of the colour the board uses? The blue background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 It is nice but once again I have to wonder if it's tileable. Remember we can't use a fixed width banner.

tyme Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 as long as a part of the image can be repeated/tiled the banner is fine. all the ones that have been posted are workable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josk Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) Very nice, josk. :) Maybe without the sun in the middle of the "u" it would look even better. And how 'bout a blue-tone for the background that is somewhere between the dark blue and cyan? A very "mandriva-like" blue? Ok, here is without sun. Better? Have to finish some other day. It is nice but once again I have to wonder if it's tileable. Remember we can't use a fixed width banner. Yes, it is tileable as rest of my works. Just take 1px width and 100px height image and repeat it. http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/5194/jo...rslogo109ns.jpg Edited April 21, 2006 by josk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Just take 1px width and 100px height image and repeat it. Or 90px. See rule 2 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 The 90 px was just for the logo. The entire banner is 104 px in height but that can be adjusted a little thru the css. So 100 px should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neddie Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I like it. Would you mind giving us a brief rundown how you did it? What software did you use, did you use any special tools or techniques for the MUB bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josk Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I like it. Would you mind giving us a brief rundown how you did it? What software did you use, did you use any special tools or techniques for the MUB bit? I use photoshop. First I did big fonts using arial black. I moved fonts together. Skewing fonts and editing outlines of fonts. First I did this Those fonts are actual black. I coloured those using various filters. Also I did couple different layers and using special transparent efects for those layers. So I get it look like more plastic/metallic. So if u disable those filters u get just black and white logo. Background is actual photo from mine mainboard. I colored it and finally just take a snapshot of 1x100px slice and skew it. Colored photo from mine mainboard. Same picture on two layers. Other picture is just skewed and masked transparency and special layer transparency. Just skewed image from mine mainboard. Those mine pictures is just fast drafts (10-45min). So I hope you point me to the right direction and comment what u like or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
