GIP: mod hat

[alias_sqbr]

I got inspired to make this icon ages ago but had no excuse to use it. So when it was suggested I be a mod at webcomics how could I say no? :)

I need to find a way to make it flash, what's a good animated gif maker? (My old one is gone) New flashing version made by the super awesome sonictail!

Don't you have Photoshop? ImageReady's adequate.

For some reason I have photoshop but not Imageready, even though we used to have it ages ago.

GIMP! :P

(disclaimer: GIMP may not be for everyone)

GIMP does animated gifs? I'll have to check that out when I get home, thanks.

This (http://gimp-savvy.com/BOOK/index.html?node80.html) appears to be a good reference (Debian/Ubuntu users can just apt-get install grokking-the-gimp).

Hey, that's awesome, thanks. Note the updated image :)

*ponders creating more animations*

I await the update in which you show us the version where the bulbs aren't burnt out.

I would use image ready... give me a few moments when I get into work.

[alias_sqbr]

Oh you don't have to do that! Also apparently I can use GIMP, which I'll have to try when I get home.

Less than a minute.

Oh wow that is fantastic, thanks a bazillion!

I may make a new version at some point which perfectly matches the Glorious Vision in my head (if only to try out GIMP) but given how lazy I am, and how good a job you did, I probably won't :)

(Odd, I already replied to this and it vanished)

Well you probably will want to, you will have a higher res version (i'm assuming) and I can see the pixellation on that logo. plus learning is fun!

[greyreviews.livejournal.com]

Of course you can see the pixellation, its a shop, and having seen a few shops in my time....

*makes new version*

You're right, learning is fun :)

Wow! Flashing logo!

*awe*

[alias_sqbr]

Be in awe at sonictail, he's the one who made it flash :) (though I have since made a slightly different flashing version of my own)
