Need a bigger folding logo.

Joe42 · 9 Nov 2006 at 18:57

I posted in the graphics forum and so far nothing. Anyone here fancy a go?

The thread is here.

Planning on using it for various things, would be very useful to have.

Hi Joe - which logo (image link broken) might have some time - but not this week

edit: it loaded second time - the red gear wheel (do you want it with or without shortcut arrow)

Joe42 · 9 Nov 2006 at 19:37

Yes the red gear wheel, no short cut logo.
No hurry at all, but if you can do it that would be great

148x133 - 24 K

The problem with the logo is its very very small. It looks rubbish when you make it larger. I have never found a larger image of that logo either. At least not the red one...

However, I did enlarge it for you anyway. The image is 60x60 and the actual logo is very close to the edges as you can see. I can also send you it in .psd or .png if you want a transparent background.

That really good SS, thanks a lot.

I know the normal one is rubbish when its enlarged thats why i wanted someone to draw a bigger one and draw it from scratch.

The original plan was to use it as part of a new sig but i think it might go in the quick guide as well, and anyone else who wants to use it can grab it from there.

Could i trouble you for one with a blue forum coloured background when you have a moment?
Can't do it in paint without drawing round it and when i did that it looked terrible.
Also is it possible to do one thats backgroundless?
And what did you do it with, photoshop?
Have you got it in a higher quality/filesize version which i could put in the quick guide so it looks nicer? I only need the smaller filesize for making sigs.

It just occured to me that i might be able to do one myself using sketchup so i could sort out the background myself.

Thanks very much.

Sure.

Yep. PNG version GIF version

Just click the link, then right-click the image and save as.

There's about 2 distinct colours and only a few shades. The images are at maximum quality - it was enlarged from an uber low res icon. I can't invent new pixels to increase its resolution. Sorry

EDIT: Made the logo look 3D...ish. This is a .png version. Ask if you prefer .gif.

Nice that, the 3d one.

shadowscotland · 13 Nov 2006 at 10:00

what size are you looking for Joe?

Drawn in AutoCAD rendered in sketchUP

Then photoshoped the image. (look at me and my multi tasking applications)

SketchUP file send to your trust e-mail.

edit: backgroundless image http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n167/shadowscotland/cog3.jpg

Joe42 · 13 Nov 2006 at 12:04

Thanks thats great.

I'll have a go changing the size myself.

Edit: I've done 4 or 5 sigs, this is the first. Nothing special, still working on some better ones.
The idea is to keep he same logo across all sigs i make to give a kind of branding to it.

SiriusB's logo has been put in the quick guide aswell.

Joe42 · 13 Nov 2006 at 17:35

I've been busy.

shadowscotland · 13 Nov 2006 at 18:21

Might want to shrink that logo some more or just use a bit of it

Joe42 · 13 Nov 2006 at 18:24

Thats pretty good actually, thanks.

divine` · 13 Nov 2006 at 18:54

My quick attempt:

Joe42 · 13 Nov 2006 at 20:26

Ahh Mr null... i was just experimenting with your excellent sig generator and it all works marvellously except for one thing, the image quality seems to deteriorate compared to the image i uploaded... no one else seems to have this problem so does it work best with certain image formats?

Nice foldy logo btw...

I really must learn photoshop, as i struggle to even resize things in paint.
