I was talking to MM the other day about how soldat.pl could use a FavIcon since every browser requests it anyway.  I suggested that he hold a contest to have someone make one. 

The favicon is the icon that appears in the address bar and tab for a site (assuming your browser supports it)

Anywho, he said "Maybe we could make a contest for a new icon for the page and Soldat 1.4?"

So here's the deal:

• You make an icon in 32x32.
• After a week, we all vote on it
• If you win, you make the icon in the 48x48, 32x32, and 16x16 so that it can be used in other places
• MM will decide whether or not to use it in 1.4.  Since there isn't much time left, we can't promise that the winner will come up with one good enough to be released with 1.4

Questions?  Post your submissions in this thread.  In a week (Next Saturday) I'll make a new thread for voting.  If we have enough submissions, you'll be able to vote for your favorite 2 or 3 submissions.  If there are only a few, then you'll just vote for your favorite one.

This is your chance to have something put into Soldat

I think that the contest is a great idea I hope to see a lot of idea

[gedazz]

Can we post 2 or more submissions?

Though it looks more like a program icon then a favicon

[xmRipper]

Need to write soldat

edit:

[Avis]

Or rather something with transparency:

Here the "Soldat" might not be visible too good:

Mine is so pathethic...

[Lord Frunkamunch]

OMG the time is going backwards!

This is the first one, expect more

I like the idea of such contest, but why everyone should submit 32*32 icons?  To make large icon and then several of smaller resized copies of it sounds much more logical. So i think 48*48 icons should be submited.

with things like this, you can't just resize them.  They come out looking horrible and it is much better if the original author resizes it by hand or their own preferred method

I think flab has a point - it's hard to take a picture and make it smaller since pixelating it will make it lose quality to unpredictable extents.  Usually if it looks nice at 32x32 it'll look just as good in 48x48

though I think that most authors would prefer to tweak their 48x48 version by hand as well, so that it doesn't look blown up and smudgy/uneven

well yeah that's the idea...  i usually just blow it up and manually edit and smoothen it.  it works rather well!

Came up with two ideas. Didn't understand if their were requirements or not (a soldat being present, etc.) so bare with me...

Peace.
