[CDT] Submit Ideas for SOTM Minirank here [Prizebox/Donation prize!]

Hey Guys, The CDT Will be restarting signature of the month. One of the prizes for participating or winning this event will be a "SOTM winner" minirank.

We are looking to the community to help us make this minirank. For the next few days are members of the community are able to submit ideas for our new minirank. After submissions have been taken and reviewed by the CDT we will poll and let the community decide which minirank we will use. We will also be posting this thread in Graphics Gallery for more exposure.

• Size is 32x32
• Must be transparent
• Unlimited submissions allowed

Simplest way to make an icon:

Spoiler: How to make an icon (so everyone can have a go)

Find your image on Google, I recommend using transparent search to avoid ugly background boxes which can be a hassle if you use this simple method:

​

Click the image of choice, then choose "View original image"

​

Check the image is transparent, I usually just quickly drag the image on to the nav-bar and if a white border appears, it's not transparent

As you can see, this one isn't transparent:



and this one is transparent:

​

Next, go to www.online-image-editor.com and paste the direct link you got from "View original image" in to the upload box:

​

You'll find a toolbar above your image, find the "Resize" tool and resize the image so it's no bigger than 32x32.

Have "Aspect ratio" ticked to avoid stretched/blurry icons

​

Apply this change and then right click the image and "copy image":

​

Go to www.imgur.com and hold Ctrl+V to upload the icon:

This step is important, as although you can get a direct link from the editor, they expire shortly.

​

Whoever submits the winning entry will have the choice of a Prizebox, or a $5 sythe.org donation in their name

Re posting here

It has to be different than the graphics participation minirank guys xD

 

design it ourselves?

 

You can rip an icon from anywhere.

I like the "I won SOTM" one, would probably make people curious and want to click it, we could have it linked to a stickied thread describing SOTM.

 

This has to be my favorite. The text & imagery work well together and communicate what it's about nicely.

 

Or the hall of fame, I like the idea.

 

Bump.

 

Bump. Leaving this open for a couple more days

 

How's this?
