Preserved Topic: ***WARNING*** big september sig competition: Food (Page 2 of 3)

Heh. I've got to admit, that's one funny sig you've got there, Mas4k. A tad tall, maybe, but nice work.

I agree with Suho, it's a nice sig. However, based on the resizing of the actual image, you should be able to get that WELL under 40k.

Yeah but it's a png they're huge! I once posted one on my webserver and everytime you'd try to download it, it would bottle neck and the page wouldn't load!

Well in that case, it's pretty damn silly for it to be a .png, don't you think?

The concept behind chosing a file format is that you choose the most appropriate format for the application.

In this case, you have a very simple (as in not a very complicated color setup/depth) image to be used as a signature file, with no transparency and a semi-requirement to be a small file size.

So make it a damn .gif and be done with it.

Jpeg probably wouldn't be bad either, and might be even smaller 'cause of the non-solid colors near the bottom.

being sick in the head... I played with this a bit.

A gif at 128 colors is only 10.81k it dont look all that yummy though.
256 color looks really good and is 13.6k
not bad
jpg 50% quality 9.853k with some nastyz around the text but still good enough to eat.
jpg at 60% is 13.4k

eh... yeah, i was thinkin jpg would be better but gif handles the text and the colors here very very well.

now, a png-8 setting at 256 colors is 14.51k and really dont look any diff than the Gif on 256 colors.

wowho! the png-24 setting gives us a friggin huge file, and on my monitor, it looks no different.

                                                           

I think everyone may be trying to tell you something, Mas4k...

*nudge, nudge, wink, wink*

OKay, let's see if this works:



Is it too big?

perspective match, (the bottom looks a little flat).

Make it phenja so it matches pringles (nah...)

Much better, Mask. The jpeg lost a little quality, which could be expected, and you might have been able to use less compression and get more quality for a larger filesize, but what you have now is fine.

Ah thank you Slime, you have a nice site by the way I've been there many times. I really like the GUI thing on it. So how'd ya set that up?

Well, krap, you guys are just blowing my stupid little logos out of the water, aren't you?

I'm thinking about it, I have some bad feelings about the gut with the hammer.

what hammer

I think he's talking about izzay's scary-looking guy with the mallet...

Oh if I had a hammer...

Suho - you misunderstand. There is *no* hammer. No hammer there at all.

Ah, yes, of course. Silly me. It must have been one of my delusions... no hammer at all.

If you guys say that there's no hammer...

Errr....well.... I see a hammer....

and he's looking at me very rare....
He has the same face that me when I take a lot of pills, so I beter don't get too close to him....

Wakkos - you just took too many blues - here try a red, it'll help you to forget the... um... the...

Synax, could you up the colors a bit? The sig's 7000 bytes now, so a little extra data won't hurt. I like yours the best so far, but the other submissions are great too. And stop mutilating the pear! It is holy!

                                                           

i have nothing more to say.
