BlitzMax Logo made as SVG (vector)
Community Forums/Graphic Chat/BlitzMax Logo made as SVG (vector)

| I wanted an infinitely scalable BlitzMax icon (I wanted to share it too) for my Panel in Linux, so I started making one. (I've been using the OpenOffice.org puzzle piece icon--the one with the green plus on it--since then). That was weeks ago, and here it is:  That's a thumbnail of it, click it for "full" size. Click here for BlitzMax SVG Logo ~ ~ ~ ~ U P D A T E D ~ ~ ~ ~ the SVG I canceled my TrueShare subscription because I don't have much money right now, but I do have them hosted on my Google Docs: the SVG And if the download somehow becomes corrupted for you (I have heard of such things happening 'consistently' under certain conditions), try the ARC (remember it has Recovery Records exactly for that reason) the SVG in an ARC archive Because many web browsers don't yet have full support for the years-old SVG standard (Opera, and Google Chrome( at least on Linux), are wonderful exceptions), I cannot display it here. Also, you will need either Peazip or FreeArc to extract the SVG from the archive. If you want to convert the SVG to a small bitmap graphic for use as an icon then please download and install Inkscape, it is quite capable. It was also the program I used to make this SVG representation of the BMax logo. If that isn't enough, GIMP, Irfanview, Wikipedia, yada yada. Read the rest of this post if you want to know why I chose ARC is a format that, like WinRAR's RAR format, supports recovery records. These recovery records hold a certain amount of redundant data that, in the event of the archive's corruption ("bad download"), can be used to (hopefully, usually) reconstruct the damaged part of the archive. When you're dealing with vector graphics you don't want any part of the vector graphic to become corrupted, else you might have to start all over again (unlike with text files, or, in many cases, bitmap graphics). I was afraid that if I didn't put it in an archive that it would be regarded as a text file (that is essentially what XML is), and I've had problems in the past trying to upload text files to file hosting websites. |

| Bump Just want everyone to get this for their desktops, etc. |

| It's nice and you did a good job! Frankly, I don't even wear prints on a tshirt, so don't worry. If somebody looks for the finest rendition of the BlitzMax Logo, I'm sure they'll find your wonderful post! Thanks, yeah, now we all have theHand for vectors! ;} |

| <friendlybanter> If your argument for the ARC format was correct, SVG would not work in the first place, making you Opera advert invalid. Post the plain SVG already ;-) If nothing else, the XML in a codebox </friendlybanter> |
| ||
| No my friend, you have it wrong; the advert was for Peazip :D But in retrospect a password for the archive was unnecessary. Updated file. Edit: tried a codebox, didn't work. codeboxes should ignore all other tags but a closing codebox tag, but they don't! oh well. Thanks, yeah, now we all have theHand for vectors Me? What about you, Mr. 3D wizard? This could be from Resident Evil, out of the context of your website! |

| :) HAHAHA, thanks, i guess!? :) Well, it's all already ancient, I'm cured now... ...maybe. Nah, probably not, but I havn't done much 3d in a while. Programming is more fun at the moment. I should however update my website... <blush> |

| As far as I can see, none of your unpackers are for Mac. How about simply pasting the XML into a post? |
| ||
| There's the SVG. see first post I'm |
| ||
| Damnit, as soon as I get a Mac I am gonna port Peazip! Edit: deleted the XML because it was too long a post. |
| ||
| I'm gonna quote that just for the lulz. |
| ||
| Code box it... maybe ;) |
| ||
| theHand, I am going to use a modified version of your logo, do you want to be credited as your username or real name? |

| Sorry, I have been attending college for the past several months and it is really getting hard to keep up. But it is fine with me as long as you post the SVG (of the updated logo), or other vector format, here. Also don't forget that the logo is a Trademark of BRL. I made it so that others could save time, so I don't mind you using it. Last edited 2011 Last edited 2011 |
