mobilenvidia Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm getting some grief over the very poor Logo I put up in Facebook :) To tell the truth I stole it from the just as bad one I made for Twitter. Here is a challenge for the artistically minded. Is there someone out there that can whip something up to place on Facebook as our logo there ? A picture of the right format and size, that encapsulates what LaptopVideo2go is all about. Full Kudos will be given and the knowledge that at least 119 :P people will get to admire it. Any help here appreciated, I'm the first to admit I'm pretty $#@% at graphic design :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest g60force Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 what are the dimensions? (in pixels) 1x1 4x3 16x9 ... I would like to give it a shot, as I'm also into Flash & 3D art etc. for those who what some examples of my little hobby: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33561705@N07/ (just in the bizz for about 1year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 The avatar as above is 50x50 but the actual logo can be bigger. Facebook allows the Avatar (50x50) to be chosen from within the larger logo/picture. So a bigger picture can be made but the Avatar with the picture needs to be 50x50. The Avatar is most, the picture is only seen on the main page. The Avatar is 1:1 The picture can be any ratio By all means give it a whirl, much appreciated.

Guest g60force Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Allrighty then got a static version and it could be altered into a animated GIF, but don't know how yet :P (yes indeed I love the female curves :) ) http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2795/4098165144_e5fee0faff_o.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2496/4098165246_98777a0b13_o.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2767/4097409669_04ce9c405b_o.jpg So the sequence should be 1A / 1B / 1C / 1B [and repeat] whoever wants to help or point me in the right direction? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claw Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Very good, but wouldn't it look better with whole gray background and without the silver bar? :) Maybe it's just me, I'm minimalistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest g60force Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I'm so embarresed that I only just found out that the bars resembled not only a laptop but also a number2 :P OMG... that's why my previous entry was only created with PhotoShop CS4, for the next idea I'm combining 3worlds: Flash10/PS-CS4/Daz3D Here's a simple test, but I think (with the idea I got in my head) i need almost a week time :) because only this render allone took 5minutes pure CPU power So my question is, how long do we got for sending in pics :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feigned-existence Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 this render alone took 5minutes pure CPU power woah thats ages for just that, even with the reflection and the lighting. what specs your pc/laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 i'll upload one with a full gray background now. Looks better in my opinion :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g60force Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Whoops sorry guys uploaded the wrong one :) and noticed I was still a guest even after all these years, thus I couldn't edit my posts and for that reason (and others :) ) I finally became a registered members! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2678/4099061144_eb19016886_o.jpg This one took 5minutes (now the dimensions are right 1:1) there are several reasons it takes so long: 1.my laptop specs Core2Duo 2Ghz 4GB DDr3 etc. 2.the resolution 1200x1200 3.the setting 12raytrace / 16x shadow-passes I know i should use less high settings when rendering a test-example ... but I'm addicted to detail :P EDIT: Ok here one quick before going to bed... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2585/4099637440_4a4abffc71_o.jpg Your 2nd is nice, how about maybe with the green to (light)green/white radiant is even beter?

feigned-existence Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Your 2nd is nice, how about maybe with the green to (light)green/white radiant is even beter? do you mean the background? here you go if you meant background and that would explain it the rendering time, i only have ddr2 ram but i have a heck of a lot.

g60force Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 yeah the rgadient just like the site lookalike suits it nicely... allthough i meant vertical gradiant instead of circular ... sorry buddy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
