Avatar Creations Logo Contest [UPDATED]

reply to post by Just Chris


Then the winning design will be used and we all learned some cool stuff from this one!

Thought I'd a summation post to make life a little easier for folks

Remember to star the original post, not this one

There are a lot of AMAZING entries!!!

Winning submission may be altered by original artist or designee for file size and dimensions
I've been intentionally keeping myself out of this competition so I can assist in any alterations that need to be made. I've had several "favorites" that alter between....well, ALL of them from day to day! I HAVE been especially partial to the ones that had cool purple birds in them but I do love them all
Amazing work!!

Keep the submissions rolling in! I'll make another summation page on the last day of submissions

If I missed any, any at all, please let me know as I’m trying to make sure everyone’s entry is included so folks can compare them all together, yet know what page to go to in order to vote for their favorite!

Sample entry, not eligible to win

....because I said so

Still animated, still transparent, and under 25kb. (24.29 kb, to be exact.)

I had to trim and trim and trim to get it to fit within that size limit. Whew!

Hope you like the concept, old retro text mixing with ATS avatars. If you do, I'll appreciate your Stars.

You got a WHOLE LOT into that 24.28 k!!!!!!

I was bored (already on my Thanksgiving break ) so I added that we'd work for food flags and stars



....and had to edit it because it showed up as under the size limit on my hard drive but not after I uploaded it...

Logo Entry #3

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Yeah, that's a winner, and I gave you a star.

Under the limit, themed, and smooth. Well done.

Thank you my friend. It was really fun to waste a couple hours on earlier today

I start pretty much everything in MS Paint and then go to Gimp when necessary for effects.

Star for you...Thanks for contributing!

WoW loads of really great artistic people......

Maybe someday we have to do some collaborating thread with two or more artist creating one avatar? or image?

24.4 kb. Amazing, with Nyan Cat. The sparkles.

I will bow to you, very well done. Star.

The effects are true, and balanced. You have your game on.

For all animations I use Macromedia Flash 8.

For my non-animated images I use Photoshop CS3. If i am altering or creating images to use in Flash, I start in PS and save it as a .png to import to the image library in Flash.

Problem is, I am not really very good with Flash. I can't touch what Zarniwoop and Marty have done here, and with the smaller file size, to boot.

Especially marty's. I have a spot in my heart for Nyan Cat. And he beautifully blended the rest of the image to the animated portion.
