pouët.net

Ok, as I plan to add a page to automatically submit logos to pouet, I'd like to ask what you would like to see as requirements and limitations for the submitted logos. I will of course modify the existing logos to fit the requirements.

For now I think of:
- GIF, JPG or PNG
- Transparency welcome against the blue background (it's unlikely it will ever change)
- 512x192px max
- 64KB max

Your thoughts ;)

Oh, btw, what about SWF ? Just asking.

I'd better see 512x128px max, 192px is way too tall.

Here's how a 512x128px box looks like:

are animated gif authorized ? :]

I vote against animated GIFs or even SWFs, as blinking stuff is always a distraction and doesn't serve any aesthetical or practical purpose whatsoever. Plus I don't want my laptop to leech its batteries dry just because I forgot closing the pouet window.

eh.. people can randomly submit logos then...

welcome ugliness... :/

Thanks kb_, I was hopping someone would tell them =D

Let's recap, for now we have:

- static GIF, JPG or PNG

That's the case now, that wont change.

Okay, this BBS needs a revamp soon =D

oh, right.. ok, humm..

*whistles the 'clue tune'*

i have to visit a certain shoppe..

uhm, could i get the chance to modify my logos myself? ;)

Of course ;)

Remember that transparent PNG is not shown properly in IE by default. U have to use a script like this:

if (navigator.platform == "Win32" && navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && window.attachEvent) {
document.writeln('<style type="text/css">td { visibility:hidden; } </style>');
window.attachEvent("onload", fnLoadPngs);
}

function fnLoadPngs() {
var rslt = navigator.appVersion.match(/MSIE (\d+\.\d+)/, '');
var itsAllGood = (rslt != null && Number(rslt[1]) >= 5.5);

imgcoll = document.all.tags("IMG");

for (var y = imgcoll.length - 1, imgtest = null; (imgtest = imgcoll[y]); y--)
{

if (imgtest.src != "" && imgtest.src.match(/\.png$/i) != null) {
var src = imgtest.src;
imgtest.style.width = imgtest.width + "px";
imgtest.style.height = imgtest.height + "px";
imgtest.style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='" + src + "', sizingMethod='scale')"
imgtest.src = "bilder/blank.gif";
}
imgtest.style.visibility = "visible";
}

}

Hail to the Internet Explorer!

transpared pngs are shown correctly - alphamapped ones aren't

Gargaj: Ok :)

I don't give a shit about IE, and especially about scripts whose only purpose is to fullfil IE lame render engine.

no .swf and no animated crap please :)

analogue: but there will still be a voting system right???
I guess no one here wants some random shitty logo submited by some tasteless coders with no filtering at all :(

if there wasn't filtering we would be spammed with bukkake logos.

Of course, I'm just talking about the submit-a-logo thing
