SSU Project icon

[Urwumpe]

For getting us some corporate design here, I request a good SSU project icon that we can use on manuals, wiki and project homepage. It should look good in 100x100 px, bigger sizes or project banners would be great.

I would like to see something presentable already on Sunday, it must not yet be perfect, just something to work with.

Hmmm... I'll get back to you on this.

Maybe you should tell us how it should look like?

Edit: This is my 666th post...

If I would know it, I would have told you.

The only fixed constraints are that it should be looking good in about 100x100 px and be in PNG format. The rest is matter of taste.

How about the generic shuttle patch?

I like it, but I would rather it be a pic of the SSU shuttle and not the real one.

I'll try that Donamy. My thinking is, because Urwumpe wants it to be fairly small (100px by 100px) The amount of detail has to be kept low. Otherwise the image becomes too dense to make out. In this case, a stylized version of the SSU orbiter would probably look very simular to the real thing. But like I said, I'll give it a try and with any other images I come up with I'll use the SSU orbiter.

Regards

try it with the SSU orbiter, if this doesn't look better than this, we will go with it.

And no, not the real STS logo. We are not the real STS program. If somebody wants to put an "homage" of the real logo online for this, it would be fine for me, but zerofays and Donamys suggestions currently sound the most reasonable to me.

 

[zerofay32]

Here are two icons made with an SSU orbiter. Let me know what you think.

 

[Urwumpe]

I would say the left one looks great, the second one doesn't look that good because of the SSU text

 

[Wishbone]

Why not simply ULTRA in large caps?

 

[Donamy]

Agreed

 

[zerofay32]

I can try playing around with the one on the right or we can just use the one on the left, dosn't matter to me.

 

[Capt_hensley]

I suggest put up a vote, on all patches submitted in the thread. Let popular vote decide.

 

[Donamy]

I vote the developers decide.
