The Group Build Participants Icon Thread....

[Airframes]

Hmm. Maybe the typeface second from last in the first post Chris? Allowing for any spread, it should look OK. Unless you can choke the typeface used in your last post?
Just a thought, as they'd both work.

I like em Chris, the definatly came out alot crisper than what I currently have posted up in my siggy....

Thanks again for comin up with such a novel idea and takin it to the next level man....

 

[Wayne Little]

Yeah...looks great Chris!

 

[Njaco]

What I was trying to do since my own fonts weren't working so well, was use ones already used by the forum. Thats why that crazy post with the different sizes. I just cut and pasted the post and adapted to the pic. May still play with it.

The stars are .pngs so they have a transparent background we can place over the siggy.

 

[lesofprimus]

Now, can u possibly shrink one of these down in size to the star size in the same format, for the winner of the members choice award???

Or something else to signify this special award?

 

[Catch22]

Here's the iron cross. Not meaning to encroach on Njaco's work, just though I'd help a little.

 

[lesofprimus]

Well, I just found out I cannot copy paste png files and make one icon with a star or knights cross.....

All I have is Infranview and Paint to do it.....

Fu*k....

Can someone please combine the 3 stars on each please???

 

[Catch22]

I'll do it right now, but you may just have to save the files.

Dan, do you want the Knight's Cross on the Pacific ones too, or are we going to come up with something different for those? I think we should do a MOH and whatever the Japanese highest medal was.

Ok, problem. Njaco, will you please upload those icons you already made to Image hosting, free photo sharing video sharing at Photobucket or something similar? The reason is, when you save them from when they've been attached it has the background of the forum on them which will take forever to remove, unless they're made that way.

 

[lesofprimus]

No Cory, different medal for each Build...

 

[Njaco]

Cory, I made them that way to keep as a .jpg except the stars which are .png. If you want, I can change the type.

Dan, I was messing with the small blue banner that Grau posted earlier in the thread with "Members Choice" on it in white. Let me try to bring it up and see what you think.

 

[lesofprimus]

OK Chris... I know ur in rough shape, but I would like to get the stars solid by Tuesday, and the normal icon done by this evening if u can....

Im gonna start up a couple new threads tonight bringing this, the first Group Build, to a close....

 

[Njaco]

ok, let me clear my head.

are the icons ok? The Fw for the Reich build? I haven't come up with any clearer font - at this size its almost nill.

It the Fw is ok, you just need the stars on 3 of them, correct? Are the stars ok?

And this is what I was talking about with the ribbon....

 

[Catch22]

No, it's alright to keep them as is, I didn't realize they were meant to be that way.

 

[Njaco]

Cory, do you need anything I can help with? I don't want to be the only one if someone can improve on what I have. Just ask!

 

[lesofprimus]

Yes Chris, the Icons are fine as well as the font, I like em....

Would u please add each star to the Icon and then add the Members Choice banner to the bottom of one without the Defense of The Reich text....

As u guys may have noticed, I went and edited the siggys of all that finished their Builds...

 

[Njaco]

looks frickin' great!!

 

[Njaco]

Here ya go.....

 

[Catch22]

Chris (if I may call you that, I hope so), that's exactly what I was going to do haha. I wasn't going to improve on it at all, as they're pretty much ideal. Nice and simple, small enough, but you're still able to read them.

 

[Airframes]

Great work Chris, well done mate.
BTW, ref your PM. Im having probs sending at the moment, due to this bl**dy net thing, so, in case I can't PM you, it's a goer re your suggestion. Have a think about a design when you can.

 

[lesofprimus]

Frickin awesome Chris, just what we needed man.... Thanks for takin the time to get it square.....
