Upgrade/Project New Site Logo Workshop

As am I.
Should we cut it back to 2400x400?

I think so, the actual render maybe just as good.

Already in the process of uploading 2400x400 logo.

 

[StevOz]

I wonder if that web format could work, it compresses these kind of images into tiny sizes.

 

[StevOz]

Web format attached...

 

[xenonph]

Dang it wouldn't let me upload it. Not a valid image!


The 2400x400 is uploaded on your theme.
See if you see a difference in load time.

I just tried it, and it loads way faster!

 

[StevOz]

I thought that might happen, still the 2400 looks just as good here and loads up fine...

I wonder if that web format could work, it compresses these kind of images into tiny sizes.

I wonder if I change it to a jpeg, which should make the file size way smaller, would it load the 4800x800 faster?
Should I give it a try?

EDIT:
Try it out.
It is 4800x800 jpeg.
Does it load quicker?
Quality looks good.

File size went from 3.87 MB's to 2.64 MB's.

Really think it could make it worse, as .jpg does tend to degrade images with its older compression algorithms. At 2560x1440 here it looks just as sharp at 2400, so we maybe at the end of the rainbow?

Ok lets stick with 2400x400 png.
It loads even quicker than the jpeg.

Upgrade/Project - New Site Logo Workshop

Howdy again, I have a question. I remember when I first started helping on the site, Jon was trying to get the Pinball Nirvana logo to stretch across the screen. The one at top of site that says Pinball Nirvana Nudging neccessary. This was one of the first things he asked me for help with, when...

New post, I should think this is News!

New post, I should think this is News!

I probably didn't word it as elegant as you would have, but I think I got the point across.

I added the 4800x800 version to the post.

Upgrade/Project - Site Logo Upgrade News!

:new::fruitdance::updated: I am happy to announce... The "Original" site logo has been upgraded to 2400p rendering! We did test a 4800x800 logo, but found it loaded pages slowly. So to keep the pages loading quickly, (we are always thinking of ways to make site better for our members!), we...

Pish, Posh, Squire, a most elegant prose indeed Sir.

I feel like I need to ask someone for some Grey Poupon now! lol

So I have been working on upgrading the Easter logo to 2400x400 with the fixed Nudging Necessary.
I have only added the grass at bottom, broken eggs and chickaball girls on new balls so far....


I still need to add the chocolate bunnies, cow, bunny ears on ladies, and the cross.

 

[StevOz]

Looking great mate!

 

[xenonph]

Ok the Easter logo has been upgraded to 2400x400!
The good news is, all of these items I have been adding to all of these holiday logos, are all huge in resolution.
So upgrading the old holiday logos to 2400x400 should be a breeze!
I save all of my work, and it comes in handy for situations just like this!

Nice and what a cute little jersey.

I can actually see the horns, and my eyes aren't great!

 

[xenonph]

And just in case we get any negative responses for the cross being on the logo, I have made 2 alternatives.

White Easter Lily


Pink Lily...

 

[StevOz]

An Hawaiian flower err, kind of seems ridiculously out of theme...

Looks like an hibiscus to me?

The White Easter Lily is not a Hawaiian flower.

Straight from Google...
Beyond its history, the Easter lily has traditional and spiritual meaning. Mentioned many times in the Bible, the white lily symbolizes purity, rebirth, new beginnings and hope and is most often associated with the resurrection of Jesus Christ as observed on Easter.



The pink one is probably Hawaiian. lol

Yes they both look out of theme color wise.

The only lilies around these parts are the arum lily or death lily and it is a declared pest species.

Actually I think we have those same types of lilies here in a lake, and Fish and Game Wardens try to kill them every year, but they just keep coming back.
