Designing a banner for a program

Post by Fangbeast »

Anyone good at designing a banner for a program?

I wanted something whimsical (just for the hell of it) for my home inventory program and also have a cute minion icon I wanted to put into it.

I tried but am totally crap at it.

Now that was funny. Could I ask you for a favour?

The banner logo in MyStuff is 1220x75 and I wanted one of the purple fuzzy haired evil minions as the mascot. Would you have a moment to do that please?

Not sure I need the name of the program in there (MyStuff) but there is plenty of room because of the length.

Then I can take a screenshot of the main form and see if you laugh or cry:):)

I put a stack of minions in here.

So glad you like it. That was just a low-res draft; here's the link to the full-sized file:

I also have the original PhotoShop PSD file, still in composite editable format; in case you might want to tweak and move things around. Just let me know. :D

It was great!! I showed my daughter and miss smarty pants response was "Are you sure it's legal to use those icons"

I showed my wife and she laughed, said it was great and that the program should be called "Our stuff" and I said I won't change all program references now!!!

Then I had a senior moment and FTP's into my web site to update the latest source code and it worked but should not have as I changed internet providers 2 weeks ago???

And they called me twice in two weeks asking if I wanted to disconnect with them when I already had!! (Now I have to find another place to host my purebasic apps site. Blast!! Damn!!!)

Thanks. I'll put that one in later. The screen shot for the low res one is in and looking good!

All my purebasic source code projects are now available here, including the updated MyStuff project in case anyone wants it:

Only took me 16 years to get this far heheheh.

Still a lot of code to do this program and haven't even started on the lending module yet. Oh well, I will get there.

Just fixed the printing routine properly (Well, it works properly here) and a few other things.

Thanks to TI-994A, it looks damned good to me with all my data loaded.

Same links as a few posts above.
