Any graphic designer in here. We need msfn button. Button will be used on this site.

You can see our old button here.

Logo should be 90x33 and no windows logo in it, please

Thanks

I forgot something. No windows logo on the button.

[TheBlackMan]

No windows logo...ok. What do you want the size to be, and would you prefer something animated over something still frame?

Animated or still? Up to you.

[TheBlackMan]

kk, working on something now...

[SiMoNsAyS]

ok i won't give up, this set without windows flag, small and big sizes



more here

ps: there is also available a SWF version of the small animated button

[TheBlackMan]

Wow, those are good, let's see what I can do now...

Okay :



Comments?

Here's another :



And something a little more ghetto :

[TheBlackMan]

Woa! What happened to all the animated images!?!

[sonu27]

Shouldn't the button be 88x31?

[xper]

Nice. Keep it coming.

[TheBlackMan]

I've got to travel up to Chicago tonight (dunno why that is relevant), but anyway I will design some more later tonight and try and post them tonight. If not tonight, tomorrow morning then...

Also is sonu27 right about it being 88x31 or should it stay 90x33?

The animated one I did was 95x33, same size as SiMoNsAyS animated one just because that's just enough room to add animation to.

[SiMoNsAyS]

ok i've recolored/modified a couple of things, older versions plus big sized can still be found here:



on the others i tried to mantain the look of the msfn forum, the next two are just to fit my Aero-Signature and will be the last
fun is that some areas are transparent so they can be seen different over different backgrounds



@TheBlackMan, doesn't look bad

[TheBlackMan]

Yeah, I like the transparency idea. I'm posting everything that comes to mind trying to see if we want something new and fresh, or something with an older feel to it. I'll have more posted soon!

Okay, here is one before I have to leave :

1)

I really like this one, but I don't have time to animate it, tell me what you think.

Was looking at the letters and thought they were too flat so here is a little more depth (which looks better?) :

2)

NOTE : These have a slight transparency to them on the right side of the background.

Another ! This one I made the background a little more bubble like to add to the whole cartoonish look of it all (I personally like #2 the best). I'm just posting some variety...

3)

[MSNwar]

They all look really good. Keep up the good work It is much appreciated!

[TheBlackMan]

I realized what SiMoNsAyS was saying about staying with the forum color scheme, so I changed up the background a bit. The first one I mized the forum background color with the previous one I had and the second one is just the forum color.

1)

2)

I kind of screwed up #1 with the transparency and all, but if you all like it enough I'll redo it.

[MSNwar]

It would be better if the font was more defined. We know it says MSFN but across the net it is not percisely clear to others. Like the colors though.

[MSNwar]

Simonsays, I like the annimated one (MSFN_small_animated.gif) for its simplicity, but the button shape is rather old fashioned IMHO.

[MSNwar]

TheBlackMan, Nice PC you have there BTW

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

well i took captures of the main forum page so colors and degrees (not sure if this is the word ) are from the forum itself. then i thought on something familiar like the animation of messenger when a new contact arrives; after mixing, that was the result

if you really like it i can do some variations just point what you expect

[MSNwar]

Do you think the colors in the forum header are better suited? You know, blue with black outline? I kinda like the shape of the original button myself. It stands out from all the old fashioned buttons don't you think?
