Lets try and get back on track here. This seems to be heading in a direction that we don't need to be going.

It seems people are stuffing black and white logos into the pre-beta. This is not really the purpose of this thread.

If you've got a full greyscale logo, please post it and I'll turn it into an Advanced logo and post the results.

jscherber · 03-29-2004, 12:32 AM

In what format do you want the logos posted in, and how large should they be? I'm dying to see what my company logo would look like. I'm going to hang a gas plasma display in the front office with MAL running.

You can post any size (at least 256 x 256) black and white or greyscale artwork as a PNG or any other format that doesn't lose quality (no JPEGs). I'll let you know if it needs reworking.

Internally, the Aquarium expects 256 x 256 PNG-24 with transparency.

Here is our company logo. It is in greyscale and in PNG format. I haven't figured out how to reverse the colors yet but I'm looking forwared to learning....I think.

Thank you!

HOW ABOUT THIS....

sunny · 03-29-2004, 11:39 PM

OR THIS...

jscherber · 03-30-2004, 01:31 AM

This is the right size with tranparency, greyscale, rgb. Jez, I really have to get a learn photoshop book.

feldon34 · 03-30-2004, 09:56 AM

Thanks James. Here is what your logo as-provided looks like on the crystal:

Here is my reworking of it:

and how that reworking looks on the crystal:

sunny · 03-30-2004, 07:29 PM

morgan,
the last pix, is the logo is in greyscale how 'bout the result of b&w?

jscherber · 03-30-2004, 09:18 PM

Very Cool. Looking forward to trying it out!

Hey is it possible for you to email me a copy of your .png file?

Thank you!

patscarr · 04-01-2004, 01:13 AM

So, when working with a potential logo, is it best to use a large, black and white .bmp or a smaller pic, about the size it would be on the crystal?

Tiny Turtle · 04-01-2004, 01:57 AM

Um, howdoyamean "working"? You can always scale down a larger image, but working with a small one and scale it up later won't work.

I've got a very large b&w image which is very sharp as I worked on it alot. When I put it into the crystal as is, it doesn't look right. It doesn't look clear. When I scale it down in size using PhotoShop or ACDSee, it doesn't look right either. After the scale down, I can zoom in alot and see that the pixels are all screwed up from the scale down.

P.S. When did you get Elmer? He is VERY cute!

Tiny Turtle · 04-01-2004, 05:45 AM

Elmer is not mine, he's my mom and dad's. He's fourteen or fifteen months old. The photos were taken in March of 2003

Possibly your b/w image has an inappropriate color-depth which might mess it up. I'll have a look at it when your e-mail comes through.

feldon34 · 04-01-2004, 10:55 AM

If you use the built-in method for loading B&W BMPs they are scaled down to 256 x 256 with NO anti-aliasing or smoothing and then placed on the crystal. If you have a nice high-resolution logo, this is not what I recommend.

I have posted the first draft of the Marine Aquarium Time 2 logo creation guide.
