markwolfe Veteran Posted February 4, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 4, 2008 The only think that looks odd to me is the logo? The arrows don't quite make that "S" that the Shift logo has. The background is a nice "oilify" GIMP effect, it appears. Maybe I am in a picky mood, but I would like to see the arrows done properly. But don't mind me, I'm not a Shift contributer yet. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he could fix that issue, well, it's cool. And it's also cool and probably should be encouraged that people are wanting to make such contributions. It's a serious effort of someone who wants to be part of Shift, maybe in just a small way, but still... Of course it doesn't have to be included in the distro itself. It could go on the Wiki in the art section: http://shiftlinux.net/art/ Maybe it would even be a good promotional thing on Neowin to get people posting their Shift art to the Wiki and/or a special thread... all in anticipation of the arrival of Shift 1.0?

We've been trying to, it just doesn't seem to work. We need a bigger userbase to make that site even sort of useful. And I agree, we should be using the official Shift logo in all places. You sure you can't make it a vector, Max? Some pretty complicated things can be done in SVG ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Max Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'll see what I can do :). Some effects are really really tough to reproduce with SVG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Veteran Posted February 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 8, 2008 I fully realize that, having tried to make some things vector before, but if we can get it right... there are quite a few benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
