I hope this isn't the wrong forum for this.

I want an avatar like the blue, translucent Apple logo in the OS X Finder bar (background and all), but with the Starfleet symbol from Star Trek instead of the apple. I'd like it to be 78x78 pixels in size. Since I'm no artist and have no idea how to do this stuff on a computer, I am willing to pay a small fee (dependent on the amount of work involved), but I want it to be top-notch.

Am I making sense? LOL

I'm a geek, indeed.

Making what blue? All of it? The golden part? Or the white part? And I didn't make it...it was Hein Mevissen. Here's his website: www.MixthePix.com

Next time look around

Save yourself money.

Well thanks for finding it, then.

Yeah, I'd like to get the entire thing blue, like the apple in the Finder bar.

And what if money is no object?

We'll say you payed me for "research"

Or just 'cause you're a generous guy

Maybe you could lower the hue and make the blue more neutral. It looks kinda teal on my CRT.

I guess this proves I have at least an iota of editing skill, then...never knew I had it in me! LOL

Hmmmm... how about this?

dadder · Jun 27, 2003, 10:26 PM

I do realize you wanted the whole thing blue, but I'd like to suggest this one because I think the contrast looks better.

Well, just to give you guys a example, heres what he wants it to look like:

Read the topic, he's "hiring"

My experience in these forums is that people come in asking for logos, brochures, album covers, whatever and everyone is quick to offer their expertise for free, even when money's involved. This is just another one of those instances. It's sad, but true.

Sad? Seriously? I didn't detect sarcasm in your previous posts...

dadder · Jul 1, 2003, 09:55 PM

Yeah, I'm just as guilty as everyone. There's just something about throwin' stuff up while the subject is hot and seeing what everyone comes up with. That's why this biz is so fun!
Graphic Design is like prostitution.
First you do it for love,
and then for a few close friends,
and then for money.
