Smilie-ish Icons

[Cbomb]

Here are some I have just made:




Good? Bad? Ugly?

[Zaphod64831]

I like them, how did you reference to them in your post?

[Cbomb]

He turned the img vB code on in here see here for more information.
But if you mean are they in place yet...then No, they aren't.

[da_silvy]

they look pretty cool

[John]

Any suggestions for what we can use as the text for these icons then?

eg. :) gets converted to

John

[Cbomb]

How bout :disk: for
And i duno about the alien...I guess you could use :alien: but that seems to colonish...ya know what I mean?
What is the emot-icon equivalant to ?

[Fox]

I think we need a smiley for my favourite evil grin >=]

How about :ooo: for the alien?

wait, that didn't turn out right...

[Cbomb]

I'm havin' a hard time making an evil smile fit in the little 15 by 15 space.

Here's an interesting one:


What do you you think of that??

Oh, John can I make the smilies bigger than 15x15. It doesn't matter to me..what ever you perfer.

[John]

You can use more if you want, but not too big. That smilie there: what emotion or whatever is it?

John

[Fox]

What about this ones?

:eg:

>=]

[John]

Hey Fox, those are quite good. What is the :eg: one for?

[da_silvy]

does he worship the dude with the horns?

[Fox]

-da_silvy-
No, but I I like this really cool 'person' coz most people are afraid if they hear from him although he doen's exist And... doesn't he look really cool? (See the videos from Diablo / Diablo2 -yeah!)

-John-
eg means evil grin, in fact both mean the same, the first more grin, the second more evil

BTW: In the Lionhead forum I saw a really good idea: symbols for good and evil, will be the best if you visit the board, search for 'good' and see what I mean!

[Cbomb]

Fox,
Cool faces man!
Oh, on that lionhead thing..it asks for an email and a password. I dont think i should give that password part to 'em. Is there an other way in?

John, i guess =] would be . But I dont know of any real meaning that the face has...

[John]

Cbomb - I found the forums in the end. Buried in frames, so I cannot post a link, but start out from http://www.lionhead.co.uk and follow the link to news and views.

[Juan Carlos Rey]

I'd suggest :> for the alien...

[Cbomb]

That may complicate things for the good/evil letters.
Oh, Megatron is this better: ? -->

Cbomb: Yup! That's wicked. Tell John about this and maybe he'll also like it.

[da_silvy]

i don't have the patience for art

All you really got to do is copy one of these icons and edit it.

[Cbomb]

Thats pretty much what I'm doing Well except for the picture of the disk () and plus im using Photoshop which makes the whole deal alot easier!

I don't have photoshop (yet)...But I find Paint Brush or Microangleo works fine. But then again, all my icons turn out crappy...

[da_silvy]

i need ideas, before i plunge into making icons, because i'm not a very good ideas man...

speaking of an idea man, who has seen the movie "The Castle"?
i think it was an aussie film

How about making an alien graphic. Like the 2 aliens on the show The Simpsons.

[da_silvy]

you could probably download them couldn't you?

I have a great Idea, Can you make a D'OH smiley.

what's a D'OH similey? Did you mean Homer Simpson?

da_silvy: Can you try putting it up again? It wont show up.

[da_silvy]

its not very good, but here's another attempt

[da_silvy]

it worked for me


here it is in gif format

Yes, I can only view it in GIF format. What format were you using before?

Hmmm...Maybe it's because I'm using Netscape.

[Cbomb]

Well I'm using IE and I can only see it as GIF. Maybe a plugin??

What format were you using before?

[da_silvy]

But i cannot see it now



Icon format, that's probably why, i stuffed it up

what do you guys think about it anyway?

[Edited by da_silvy on 05-21-2000 at 10:22 AM]

Yes, I think it's pretty good. We can use it to moon someone when they annoy us

[da_silvy]

thanks, but i can't work out how to change the size to the proper size for vb-world. but i cannot figure out how to do it in microangelo 98

so does anyone know how to change it to the proper format?

Ask John what the proper format is? Use Paintshop or some other Graphic Tool to convert the image.

[John]

You should use GIF format.
