Create a SpywareBlaster graphic "contest"...

[javacool]

That's right - a contest has been started. ;)

Create a SpywareBlaster logo (a graphic without the words "SpywareBlaster" is preferred - close to square in dimension, if possible) and/or an icon and post it in this thread as an attachment.

UPDATE: I am also looking for, if possible, a graphic about the size of the current black and blue "SpywareBlaster" text on the SpywareBlaster main screen.

The winner(s) will have their icon and/or logo/graphic used in SpywareBlaster, and their name (or nickname if you prefer) will be credited on the about screen. ;D

Once I receive enough submissions, or a couple days before the new version of SpywareBlaster is released (whichever comes first), the winner will be chosen by not only myself, but a panel of judges who have had no prior experience doing such things. ;)

Since there is no scheduled closing date for this "contest", it is recommended that you submit your icon/graphic as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT (standard disclaimer): Please do not submit copyrighted material - only submit your own creations. Also, by submitting graphics for this contest you acknowledge permission for them to be chosen and used in SpywareBlaster, the SpywareBlaster helpfile, on the website, in other connected applications, and in any other way where they would be needed or useful (proper credit will be given, of course, to the creator of such graphics).

Best regards,

And here is the icon.

Hi Jaybee,

Welcome at Wilders and thanks for your contributions. :)
Something seems to have gone wrong on your first post though. I can´t find the image you uploaded anywhere.

Regards,

Pieter

PS Is the attachment under 100kb ?

[Jaybee]

Thank you for the welcome Pieter. Let me try again. Here is the banner logo.

[javacool]

So many good graphics...I may have to create an option for skins. ;D

Keep them coming! 8)

I wasn't planning on using XML - I've had first-hand experience with bloated XML skin configurations and I don't plan on duplicating that in any of my programs. ;)

Well thank goodness for that. I have struggled with the TrillianXML but I just dont get it. Well..perhaps I am being resistant, I would rather create the gfx and leave the code to the coders...

Nice work Tas :)

I saw this thread before, and.. I want in too! Though.. I suck at icons, so.. I haven't thought about that ;P

Here's a little something in dark blue.

hmm.. it didn't like my .png?

Attached image isn't scaled or square just now; it's one of the images I've been "noodling" lately for Spyware Blaster logo/contest. Group comment/s?

Elsewhere: I'd posted query to boards about ZA firewall and Naviscope, server rights, etc., and Pieter(?) wrote that somehow my note was apparently posted multiple times. Was unaware that I'd done that... what did this newbie (to these boards) do, that caused that to happen?

Thanks, Best to all, SG1 (Pat)

Good luck choosing an icon or a skin!

I just customised my browsers with some skins from download sites.
The artwork in this thread is impressive!

[Tired]

Just doodling. Thought I would add this to the mix. I actually have a vision just not all the capabilities...yet!!
I love using ALL my javacool apps and it would be great to come up with something you would like.
Tired

Opps I am modifying this 'cause there is no attachment.
I'll post as soon as I can convert it to a jpeg from an illustrator :).

[krachen]

I just saw this. I'm new bie. I dont' know if your still accepting ideas. I can't get at my graphics program right now but will try later. My idea is a pair of dark glasses with red blasts coming from the eyes of the glasses. Kinda like Cyclops of the X-Men.

[Pieter_Arntz]

Go for it, krachen.
Javacool hasn't made a decision yet. :)

[WALRUS]

my entry

[Dan Perez]

Very good, Walrus!

I'm giving you a karma cookie for that effort!

You *are* the walrus, coo-coo-kee-choo ;D

[WALRUS]

Thanks...Karma Cookies always have chocolate chips...I always use the instant mix...Instant Karma Cookies gonna get you.

[Q]

I'd have an option to disable the logo. EG "Use text only for SWB logo" and if that isn't checked, have a logo.

I like the crosshairs one.

-Q

PS. SWB rules!

[memodude]

Nice, plain, simple. I could make a banner and 32x32px icon if you like it. :)

[Gaz]

I like memodude's as a ICON myself.

[lexicon]

i just whipped this up in paint.
it's a 32 * 32 icon
just like windows uses
enjoy.

[lexicon]

added logo

[lexicon]

created skin with logo and icon

and yes, i'm doing this in paint.

It has been almost a full year since this thread was started. Will it ever go anywhere?

[snapdragin]

maybe yes? maybe no? but it sure is great seeing all the talent the members have here! :D

[javacool]

Will it go anywhere? That is the question! ;D

There have been so many great submissions!

(I've also been experiencing some problems supporting skinning - which is why there is no word yet on whether implementing the submissions will be possible, but I certainly hope so!)

Best regards,

???close to square in dimension, if possible) and/or an icon and post it in this thread as an attachment-----like to enter, if someone would be kind enough to explain this in layman terms.....thanks

Well here is my one, hope you like it.

[tom_callen]

Here is my attempt. Enjoy.

[Aqua/Metal Skin]

Here's a basic skin with a logo and image which I can make into an icon. I was too lazy and only did it in a few minutes so I didn't finish the other buttons, the titlebar, the scrollbar and stuff. So, if I made a skin, it would be something like this. Everything was made (not stolen) in Photoshop by me. Hope you like it.

Also, if SpywareBlaster was going to be skinnable, it would be awesome if it was like WinAmp (easy to skin).

[China_Town]

This is my logo.

[atena]

Well, this is something I do for living. If you are serious about it, I would be glad & honored to help, and design some more ideas. I love doing logos.

[dvant]

Here's one I prepared earlier ;) I have the .psd if you want it.

[2dazed]

What program are ya'll using for this cool stuff? I don't think mine allows this.

[atena]

Photoshop, CorelDraw, 2dazed ;D

[2dazed]

Hey, Atena, how's it going? I didn't know you were over here. Thanks for the info. I shall check on that right away. I would love to give you a cookie, but I can't yet. See ya when I can! ;)

[atena]

yeah, I lurk around here; still didn't grasp this concept of cookies, though ???

[LowWaterMark]

The karma / cookie thing is explained over here:

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=11829

:)

[2dazed]

Thanks, LWM! ;) I was just getting ready to tell her. I love the Karma cookies idea. It's unique to this site. It gives me incentive to want to learn more, & help others. I love to help people on things I know, but if I can get a cookie for it too, well, my goodness. Let's learn & pass! ;D

[2dazed]

Atena

I'm back, & here's that cookie I promised! Thanks again for the suggestions. :)

[atena]

My first cookie! Thank you! http://www.sgi.co.yu/wub.gif

[2dazed]

No problem, Atena. I've noticed you've been helpful at SWI, & even though I can't get CorelDraw right now, at least I know where to look when I can.

[China_Town]

now that 3.0 is out, is the contest over?

[Jaybee]

It has been a long time since I submitted something. So many talented people here. Great work all!

[kdenkid]

I am fairly new to this place however i would like to contribute to your efforts. Here is an idea that can be further developed.

[Marja]

Oh, the wonder of it all!! This was alot of fun, I don't know how you all are doing these amazing graphics, but, there were soo many I couldn't choose!! Is the contest still on? Or have I been up too long? Truly inspiring, makes even a new newbie want to try (NOT!) I'll just enjoy the colorful views of Java8) !!

[pipper-noiter]

I like the new Icon that Spywareblaster uses, what program was used? Its got nice pixel smothing and alpha channel shadows. I'm really curious.

[JimIT]

Here's a simple one...

[Vev]

hello!

:) just wondering if this contest submission thing was still going on, as it's nice to see people throwing creativity around :)

anyone know?

Here's one for the competition.............http://www.freepgs.com/jazz/Jazz's%20Directory/SpywareBlaster.jpg

And one more.............. :)

[dog]

I decided to add one (not on par with some of the great ones already submitted) Great Work ... Ladies n Gents ;)

I like it simple and plain ... the name is more than cool enough ... and I think it should be the highlight ... I love a T-shirt with this ... with or without the "Spyware Blaster"

[Jazz]

Nice one dog......................:)

[dog]

one more ...

[chew]

I don't think you should change the SpywareBlaster logo. That is very nice in my opinion. Very unique.

Just my 2 pence.
