[Phoenix] Artwork needed! by RaceProUK on 05-22-2005 at 06:10 PM

Since I suck at drawing and Photoshopping, I'm calling on the users of this forum to help me out with some images for Phoenix 2 and its website.
Basically, I'm looking for the following:

- Toast Image (181x116, titlebar no bigger than 30px, close button optional)
- Logo (anything up to, say, 250 square)
- Banner (for the site, 400-600 wide, 100-150 high)
- Buttons (for the site, typical button size, look at current site for text)

I'd prefer orange text on a maroon background, but other than that, experiment.

Also, if anyone wants to do a set of icons (16, 24, 32 sq), feel free. They won't be used in v2, but I'm hoping to find use for them at some point.

The creators of the chosen images will be credited ;)

If this is more appropriate in GCC, Tech Talk, or even T&T, then feel free to move it

RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by Mike on 05-23-2005 at 01:52 PM

I know it sucks :)

RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by crank on 05-23-2005 at 02:11 PM

You know it would be easier if someone made a logo for it first so that the other stuff can match the logo...


RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by Supersonicdarky on 05-23-2005 at 02:52 PM

some icons i made...

(in .png cuz don't have anything to make them .ico :()


RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by crank on 05-23-2005 at 04:08 PM

Here's a better one,
updated the close button and used the icons may73alliance made.

Could do some other colors for the icon... i'll do something closer to the original colors.

k well i got 5 toasts now, all the same as this one but with other color of the icon.

I think I'll choose this logo :)
Sorry LJ, but it just appeals to me more.

So, can people make toasts/banners/buttons based on that logo?
Also, could images be posted in PNG format please? Including the above logo.
RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by M73A on 05-23-2005 at 05:46 PM

png format as u sed... (Y)

do you need the icons in png or are they ok as .ico?

RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by M73A on 05-23-2005 at 06:05 PM

i like the square and round ones! would it be possible for you to make them with the logo raceprouk said :) they look really good :) they are in the icon library attached, (with the others aswell..)


ill edit out what icons are wanted and what are not if raceprouk selects the necessary


RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by Supersonicdarky on 05-23-2005 at 08:23 PM

new toast (without any text because i couldnt find a good font)


RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by RaceProUK on 05-24-2005 at 09:27 AM

If you can find the font that may73alliance used for the logo, that'd be ideal.

Logo by may73alliance
Toast by Lee Jeffery ;)


RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by M73A on 05-24-2005 at 03:20 PM

heres the font! :D lol


RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by crank on 05-25-2005 at 03:21 PM

just a little thing i have to say, i believe the second icon in the zip may73alliance uploaded would've been better since the logo you chose looks more like a dragon than some kind of bird... and i'm pretty sure a phoenix is a bird...


RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by RaceProUK on 05-25-2005 at 03:32 PM

I have a T-shirt with a phoenix design, and that looks quite dragon-like.

The thing you've got to remember is that the phoenix is a mythical creature. Why can't it look a little dragon-like? :P

RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by Veggie on 05-25-2005 at 04:23 PM

i like that (y) but whats wrong with the standard toasts :P


RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by RaceProUK on 05-25-2005 at 05:42 PM

I don't have the control I want over them (specifically displaying a toast confirming a Personalised Status that uses the regular Busy, which supresses the toast I want to show).


RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by Spanker on 05-25-2005 at 11:07 PM

[Image: attachment.php?pid=468357]  :P


RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by RaceProUK on 05-25-2005 at 11:27 PM

I prefer LJ's I'm afraid.

EDIT: threads been a bit slow recently, whats going on? thnks.
RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by gif83 on 05-26-2005 at 08:13 AM

btw... why has no one done orange text on a maroon background like raceprouk asked for?


RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by RaceProUK on 05-26-2005 at 08:25 AM

I'm actually not bothered if people haven't done that. The quality of what has come is pretty high.
After all, I left it up to people to decide colours.

It didn't turned out how i expected.. But work is work, even if it's bad :P


RE: [Phoenix] Artwork needed! by RaceProUK on 05-28-2005 at 10:47 AM

I'd like to thank everyone for their contributions. I've decided to use may73alliance's logo and LJ's last toast design in Phoenix (don't worry: your names are in the About box).
However, I've changed tack slightly with the website (couldn't get anything like www.phoenix.net), so I'm gonna see what I can do, banner-wise.
