ok bigger boats..

Just wondering if maybe we should take the helm and flip the long boats away from a collision with those Iceberg bumpers?

Boats flipped.
I also moved Nudging Necessary over to right by 6 arrow key taps. (Remember I did this before on Valentines logo to center it.)
Now it looks more centered.


EDIT:
Moved Nudging Necessary another 4 clicks to right, for a total of 10 clicks to right.
Remember I moved the Y to left so it lined up with R, so this is why the 4 extra clicks were needed to center it.
Definately looks centered now.

And some fireworks testing.

 

[StevOz]

Nice work on getting it all centred and the boats do look better sailing away from the iceberg bumpers.

The overlay fireworks, don't really work on the letters as the other fireworks are under the images. On the other hand the yellow shooting stars look good.

The fireworks were just a test.
I was slapping them all over the place.
So you like the 3 at bottom center?
I also redid Original logo with NN moved over 10 spaces.
And pinballs are centered also.

Those look good, I noticed the boats could look slightly better positioned nudged a few pixels towards the centre.

Boats moved inwards 5 clicks.

 

[StevOz]

Alright we're sailing in safe waters now!

This is the song Jon will be listening to while sailing.

Dragon ships are charging through the waves!

Had a slight problem with Clouflare configuration earlier today and am still trying to get subdomain problems fixed.
Still think you guys should put some Seahawks thing in there as well as whatever @StevOz and @shiva might want!
It's truly a group effort in keeping a site running, never could have done this alone.

I tried a few years ago to bring back some fireworks back to the site with html but it's not allowed in posts!
See these posts for Gif firworks that are in the media section and could be embedded into an announcement.

Way back when, Pinball Nirvana had a excellent flash fireworks program installed and Users could direct the explosions with clicks in the virtual sky, I looked for something similar but failed miserably. We're gonna have to settle celebrating with .gif fireworks, a video and different pinball cakes.

I think if we add anything else, the logo will look cluttered.
Maybe better to just have honorable mention in announcement, of all who have helped the site make it to 21 years?
We are going to come close to reaching 30,000 members at same time! (Only need 154 more!)
Congrats!!!

Agree with you there, I was going to say maybe a tiny seagull or penguin at best.

Wow, Gallery Embeds work in the Shoutbox, learned something new!

Gave up for today on the Subdomain Cloudflare problem, DNS stuff is messing me up...

@xenonph

Feel free to milk the Easter cow.

 

[StevOz]

Well this is interesting...

Cinco de Mayo is not a Mexican holiday. It’s an American one.​

Nice, well now we can post the historics of the holiday on the day, with a did you know post.

 

[StevOz]

Though I was just checking the date, so now we may have to wait until May 5 to update the public thread!

Unless you think it is worth moving all the Mayo posts out of that thread and then putting them back at the end of the thread?

 

[xenonph]

I say we wait and move them after May 5th.
I will start on the 2400x400 version next, so we don't have to push the date past May 5th.
Although I may sneak in a May the 4th be with you logo before then! lol

 

[StevOz]

Ok May the Sith it is then...

Sorry, my post came a little early, I've been up since 7AM and was afraid I'd fall asleep before midnight here.

Well dang it the day is already halfway over for you!
The good news is we can keep this logo up potentially all month, as there are no big holidays!

No need to apologise!
I was already planning this, and it nicely coincides with your post!

 

[xenonph]

Hey I made a couple of variations on the Anniversary logo.
Why?
This site started as Flipperless.
So I removed the flippers and replaced them with the bumpers.
Centered the ships.
This also helps make the logo look less cluttered in my opinion.
What do you think?



and the other bumper POV...


compared to what we have right now...
