The Energon Pub

[City Commander]

Hi guys. Ima' lookin for a small Autobot symbol bitmap. Solid red, small enough to fit neatly on the side of an Energon Towline. This is for my Ratchet repaint.

Please post images here. Thanks in advanced.

how big? i can make it for you, i just need the size. or i can make it big, and then you can resize it yourself? i dont know how big it should be to fit on the side of your Tow-Line...

[City Commander]

Wow, quick reply!


UPDATE: I now need the bot symbol to appear as an emblem.

I need it to be set up like this:

Cybertronian
[bot symbol]
Rescue Service

The bot symbol in the centre, and 'Cybertronian' above in red, and 'Rescue Service' in red below, both curved round the symbol in a circle.

From rough measurements, I think it needs to be about 1cm to 1.5 cm in size, height and width.

something like this?

[City Commander]

Indeedy.

Could you post a copy minus the line in 'below' the text and the background too please?

I'm trying to decide whether a background would be best.

Also, could you make it to fit 1cm - 1.5cm? Anywhere within that range is good, but it needs to be within this range to fit onto the side panel of Ratchet's veichle shell.

Not exactly sure what you mean by "the line in 'below' the text and the background too please"


you don't want the silver background? you don't want the black line under the text?

Pretty much. I wanna see what it looks like without those things in.


Could ya flip the 'Resuce Service' so it's the same way round as the 'Cybertronian' too?

Choosy eh?

[Overcracker]

o.k. I'll see what i can do.

[City Commander]

Thanks!


The trickiest part is getting a decent bot symbol at that size. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you guys.

As it is, the bot symbol is too difficult for me to draw properly

Hows this:

[City Commander]

hmmmm....

I like being fussy. Others don't like so much. So just one more request from me.

The silver background has grown on me now. Could you just remove the black ring for me? I'm starting to think it'd look good against the white of the veichle shell.


Sorry for the fussing. I only intend to do this Racthet once, and I want him to be perfect.

[Overcracker]

o.k. fortunately, its very simple to modify, since everything is layered, otherwise, I'd be grasping at your throat.

This one is a little rounder than the other one. and with the silver background.

[City Commander]

Cool ta.

Sorry bout the fussiness
Still, we all want a work to be it's best don't we?
That'll look great on Ratchet. I'll credit your work in my final post with the images!

Thanks again!


I'm now curious. What's the best program to use to scale the image down? My dear friend paint tells me the image pegs in at 2.63 by 2.85. This'll be a lil big for ratchet, and I'd like to scale it down without blurring the image.

[Overcracker]

I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro. (to create, scale, resize, edit etc...)

However the image should be exactly 1.5cm, by 1.5 cm. I did set that to be the dimensions.

I'll check it on my Paint see what it says.

[City Commander]

ta

Maybe my Paint's playin silly buggers on me?

[Overcracker]

My Paint tells me its 1.5cm or 118 pixels. or 0.59 inches.

Ohh by the way, the image is a transparent PNG.

[City Commander]

ta!

It must be my paint. I'll trust yours over mine anyday, I hate my computer :-X
