Attention Graphic Designers!

SitePoint is looking for further contributions to our growing wallpaper gallery page at:

http://www.newliving.com.au/sitepoint/

Get creative with how you use the SitePoint Logo. Put it on the T-Shirt of some sort of a creature, on the hood of a luxury car, or as a tattoo on a model

Could we get a giant logo to tinker with? Any .ai files to distribute??

**Adam P.** · Dec 14, 2001, 21:39

Here's a large logo as a JPG: http://www.help4newbies.com/spf/SPlogo.jpg (139kb)

Okie-doke. I had an idea and it didn't turn out how I hoped, but I might-as-well post it anyways:

800x600
1024x768
1280x1024

Here's another idea I had. It's actually kind of cool:

800x600
1024x768

Enjoy

**JMulder** · Dec 15, 2001, 06:30

That's cool, you could expect some stuff from me soon

**Blahman** · Dec 15, 2001, 20:24

Should we just take the logo off the site or is there a file where we can download it?

Dave,

Read some of the posts above... there are links there to various versions of the SitePoint logo which you can download. I've also asked Alex to zip up a logos in a few different formats and post them to this thread.

I should come up with some sort of prize for the best wallpaper made incorporating the SitePoint logo

**iTec** · Dec 16, 2001, 22:30

Dave the 3 logos that are in the zip file were sent to me by one of the sitepoint staff members.
they are
sitepoint_logo.png 1600w x 567h
sitepoint_white.tif 1600w x 567h
sitepoint_grey.tif 1600w x 567

they are pretty much all you should need to come up with a good wallpaper!

**nspencer** · Dec 17, 2001, 00:12

Decided to test out my skills. It didn't quite turn out like I had hoped, but I think it looks pretty good. Included 3 sizes and 2 color variations.

Orange
800x600
1024x768
1280x1024

Blue
800x600
1024x768
1280x1024

iTec: Just use the email and site in my sig. Thanks.

Matt... you havn;t got a vector sitepoint logo by any chance?... I want one!!!

**AlexW** · Dec 17, 2001, 02:06

Hey guys,

Here is a zip file containing a couple of hi res versions of the logo. One is a PSD, the other a Fireworks PNG (so it's vector). I haven't got an EPS or AI because they dont hold the glow properly. If you've got Fireworks you can copy/paste the vectors straight into Freehand/illustrator, whatever.

Anyway this should do the job.

**platinum** · Dec 17, 2001, 02:29

pffffft... fireworks

Am I behind the times here... but since when did the .png format support vector images?

**AlexW** · Dec 17, 2001, 02:43

Somehow Macromedia have tapped into the standard PNG format and managed to use it as FireWork's native file format to save vector based files, but with live effects. It's layered like a PSD and fully scalable, but is a smaller file size and can still be displayed in a web browser. Neat trick really.

Try the demo of V4. You can at least use it to copy/paste the vectors into something else.

I always used Photoshop till about 9 months ago, but probably only open it about once every two weeks or so now.

Masking and retouching is still better in PS, and large print sized files are easier, but I prefer Fireworks for everything else now.

**platinum** · Dec 17, 2001, 06:18

Alex: Cool... you learn somthing new everyday

anyway... here is my wallpaper... whatdoya think:

1024x768
800x600

**devgecko** · Dec 17, 2001, 06:34

Here's my first stab..using Fireworks. Tell me what you think.

**AlexW** · Dec 17, 2001, 17:52

Niiiiice.
Smooth, uncluttered and easy to work on top of.

**Seer** · Dec 17, 2001, 20:54

Here's a few ideas i'm working on.. Made them in The Gimp.

http://centrice.net/misc/sitepoint/sitepoint_2.jpg
http://centrice.net/misc/sitepoint/sitepoint_3.jpg
http://centrice.net/misc/sitepoint/sitepoint_4.jpg
http://centrice.net/misc/sitepoint/sitepoint_5.jpg - Tile it!

I'll adjust to monitor sizes later, just messing around at the moment.

**Adam P.** · Dec 17, 2001, 21:11

GIMP!? Wow, I'm very impressed.

**nspencer** · Dec 17, 2001, 21:13

Very nice, Seer. Gimp seems like a cool program. If only I had Linix....
