Yea,it needs to be changed to silver toilet.lol :laughing:

Okay, first thing. I am the one who takes care of all that, not Jim. I happen to like the site colors how they are, so I’m not going to be playing with them any time soon. The logo may change, but that’s still yet to be decided.

Second thing. Please stop quoting the entire post you are replying to. This is incredibly annoying. Please take the extra two seconds to trim out unnecessary quotes.

Sry :frowning:

Oh, the irony of your reply… :laughing:

Well,nothing is anoying as USING CAPITALS IN EVERY LETTER IN HIS/HER POST :laughing:

lol you quoted her again

Hey :laughing:

Well here is another crack at it using a brushed aluminum texture.

What program do you use for the logos?

49

I know its not MS paint :laughing:

50

I use a very old program called NetSketch that you can no longer buy. I use both NetSketch and Paint Shop Pro together to make an image. I do the basic design using NetSketch and finish it in PSP, it depends on what I am doing. Sometimes I start in PSP and then finish in NetSketch.

51

Why not just use PSP?

52

I use MS Paint for drawing all my robot designs and graphics. Im pretty good at it (dont wanna brag but… :wink: )

53

Me too,but I’m probably not as good as you :laughing:

54

The problem with paint is there is no way to scale the drawings, or dimension them. You would do well by investing a little in a CAD program. I use CorelDRAW! which technically isn’t a CAD program, but an illustration program, but it has some cool features that make it sort of a crossover program. When you have a CAD program you are dealing with vectors. Lines can be drawn and remain editable as objects. There are some relatively inexpensive CAD programs out there. Probably some freeware ones too. Just an idea… :wink:

55

Haha, dont worry, im no going to be doing any logos in MS paint :laughing:

56

Er, I think the point was that when you generate a drawing in paint it will not readily scale to a different size without either loosing information or aliasing a ton of artifacts around every line. This is because you are drawing pixels at the original resolution and when you scale up you get pixelation and when you scale it down you get aliasing. With a CAD program the lines and surfaces are vectors that are rendered to a specific pixel resolution. want a different size graphic and it re-renders to the new resolution.

If you are an active student somewhere you can get some of the best drawing/modeling programs out there for peanuts… solid works leaps to mind with a 2-yr license for about $60… but other less sophisticated programs are also available if you search the many educational software outlet sites on the internet. I really miss my valid student ID these days when I see some of the things offered. :cry:

If I have time tonight, I can take a sreenshot of the vector graphics interface that I use so you can see how it is. It does scale just like a rubber band using the mouse. You can also rotate and sweep objects.
