Need animated logo for mail login page

   Frihost Forum Index -> Miscellaneous -> Marketplace
 


Animal
I'm looking for an animated logo for my mail login page. It's a Google Apps For Your Domain page, so the requirements are:

Format: .gif
Width: 143 pixels
Height: 59 pixels
Max Size: 20KB

I can provide the basis for the logo in .xcf (GIMP) format if required - please let me know if you could use it and I'll send it to you by PM. It's basically orange text with a black shadow behind it on a white background. I'd like an animation added to it so that a silver arc "spins" around the lettering in a circular pattern as I've attempted to demonstrate with the black line in the image below:



I'm obviously looking for a "slightly" more professional finish than I've made above Wink

Payment will be negotiable - looking at around 100FRIH$, and I want the .xcf or .psd as well as the gif file. Feel free to let me know if you need any more information.

I'll get something done for you soon, I don't have any time over the next few days, but come Monday I'll work on it.

Also, you didn't mention what text you wanted on it, I'm assuming you want "iWHS" but if you could provide clarification for me... Wink

And how do you want it spinning, do you want it moving up and down? Or just spinning around staying in the same spot?

EDIT: I just re-read it, and noticed the part about you sending us the basics of the logo Rolling Eyes and GIMP wouldn't work for me, as I un-installed it after I got Photoshop... However, if you gave me an image of each of the layers, I could probably put it into Photoshop...

I could do it - Free Smile

Although I can't work with gimp files Sad

Perhaps a Photoshop PNG or a Fireworks PNG?

Nevertheless, I'll do it for free - Tobias Smile

Yeah - either IWHS or IWHS.net

I want the text to remain stationary, but have a silver coloured "dot" spinning around it in an oval pattern - a bit like I've shown in the post above. It could either be a single dot, or leave a trail behind it - I don't mind. It should come around "in front" of the text, up and over the text then back down behind it. Hope that makes sense.

I've uploaded the images that I have - they can be accessed here, although they're not particularly complex - I don't mind if you re-make them from scratch with different fonts etc. Just as long as it looks good Wink

By all means, give it a shot and show me what you come up with. I'll pay some FRIH$ to anyone who makes an attempt, and give the 100 or so to the person who made the one I end up using. Even to you Hogwarts - but thanks for the offer of a free image Wink

I'll decline any money you send me.

It looks weird if you just have the ring, although I can do that.

That looks great - thanks Very Happy It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for - simply fantastic!

Would you be able to shrink its size though? It needs to be 143x59 pixels, and a maximum of 20KB so that I can use it on my mail login page.

Does it have to be a maximum of 20kb? That size is practically impossible for that resolution with an animated gif - Even if I size it down to 4 frames! Sad

i am sorry...but i have made a flash movie instead of an animated image. i did this because i do not have Photoshop (deleted it 3 days ago!!!)

so, although i am not too good at Flash, i still tried it, and i hope you like it. i do not expect you to choose it for your site, but there goes!!! Very Happy

I got it down to that size - And to 200kb.

It's 15 frames - Half of what it was originally.

I've looked into it and I don't believe that google does limit it to 20kb, so this should be fine (Although perhaps not the most user-friendly)

That is perfect - I really like it, thank you.

I tried, but the limit is definitely 20KB:



If it's really not possible, don't worry about it. Is it not possible to compress the frames at all? (Sorry... I have no idea about animated gifs)

Thanks very much for your input! It's good, but the file really has to be an mage since an swf file won't work with my mail provider. Thanks though Very Happy

That's perfect - thank you! There is a rather cryptic error from Google though - when I try to upload it, I get an error saying that only png or gif files are allowed... but it's a gif file Eh?

Any ideas?

I just took your larger image into animationshop and resized it,i think it saves as default at about 75% quality so lieft it at that and it came out fine.

re:animal : yes it is a gif file,but when animationshop saves them it says compuserve gif.. not sure what that is or means..

maybe take it here and convert to gif see if that makes any difference..

I've tried the conversion, but it hasn't made any difference... strange. Eh?
