Canada dry was a advertisement, nothing to do with canada.

I knew that...

How about...

Only games I can think of is power play and the new Rush one. Think this is a non-pinball one... Images are very scarce as well, lots of paid type stuff. Did find one image I liked though, but a lot of work redrawing.

 

[StevOz]

Think this is a non-pinball one...

Err, this is just a suggestion for a featured resource table to be included in the featured resources for the week or so of the holiday event.

 

[shiva]

Settled on this, as it was another bad news day for me so have to concentrate on that. Still, have the evenings (hockey doesn't start till Saturday) so if there are any suggestions for improvement be happy to hear them as I got kind of stuck. Only image I could find I was happy with, but boy that was a lot of work....

 

[StevOz]

so if there are any suggestions for improvement be happy to hear them

Seems to be some jaggies on the curve of red above the 'a' in Pinball?

 

[shiva]

Thanks. Must be a layer problem. Will fix that.

Edit: forgot to turn on a layer. Ooops. That damn ribbon took forever. How does it look now?

 

[StevOz]

How does it look now?

Looking smooth and sweet as Maple syrup.

 

[shiva]

hmm... maple syrup....

Guess this is good. I really should have put a date on it. Was gonna change the color of the PN text, but couldn't find a good color and I wanted to make sure it stood out or there would be too much red...

Shocking so little resources for Canada day only other one was this, I redid it but decided to use the one I put up as the rest of the graphics fit better with that one. The US holiday though different story, should be no problem for you guys to find them...

Time to say adieu to the bicycle babes until next year...

They seemed to be a hit with a few posts of admiration.

Do you think we should get chic a ball or one of her sisters to sit on a giant onion ring?

Onion Ring Day – Fun Holiday

The made-up holiday celebrates everyone’s favorite fried bar food - onion rings.

So I have started on the 4th of July holiday logo.
Here is what I have been working on all day.


There are 67 frames in this animation.
I am going to try and double it and see how it turns out.
It is 18.5 MB's right now.

It does look cool, though I am concerned on it's size and loading time, remember the 4800 res caused slow page loading...

 

[xenonph]

Here it is doubled, with red firework in 2nd set. 134 frames 36.9 MB's.


After deleting every other frame, (Half of the frames), 67 frames and it takes it back down to 18.4 MB's.


Here is just the blue cut in half. 34 frames 9.38 MB's.


I am thinking Option 1 may be too big, but it looks the nicest!
I am hoping we can at least use Option 2. so it changes from red to blue and back.
If not we fall to Option 3.
We could do some testing to see how these react when uploaded late tonight when not crowded with members?

Got a Trotting race meeting today.

Just out of interest what size was the Star Wars or the current logos?

Original is 6.55 MB's.
Star Wars is 4.73 MB's.

I think the slow page loading back then was because it was such a high resolution at 4800 res, not the size of the file.
I am hoping anyways.
When I open the big gif, (134 frames), in Firefox, it doesn't seem to load any slower than the small gif?

 

[xenonph]

Since there were only 6 members on site...

I decided to give it a try.
I just tested the 134 frame version out real quick on Teal Theme, and it loads just as quick as original logo!
I went back and forth from forums to resources and back. Clicked forums page many times.
It loads just as quick as original!
But we need more than me testing, so just holler whenever you are ready, and I will add it to your theme for further testing, which I believe is shades of grey.

About the Lincoln hats, they are tall and perhaps one of our other girls might be a better fit?

You thinking Red?
I could tilt them off to side.
Blondie has the red white and blue outfit.
I could also lower the ball and blondie a bit to make room for tall hat?

 

[StevOz]

Ok no problemo, blonde American surfer girl it is then...

 

[StevOz]

Liberty Bell perhaps as a holiday feature table?
