Server Icon/Banner Submissions

[hazy sand]

Wearing the cap, I like that :D

[rain tiger]

“Please do not call a2c atc”

If you want smth on the sub its vastly different dimensions and doesnt take animated

4000x128 or smth wacky like that

Also youd have until probably end of month/early next month at our current rate

Can we message link final designs onto here maybe

Bc im having trouble figuring out which im supposed to put up

I have a collection of them saved once theyre up but may be good to have a backup log + sometimes yall post multiple drafts

[misty girder]

being carly is the real struggle

I do not envy ur job

[pseudo rock]

Mmk lemme fix

[rain tiger]

We don’t have to retroactive the message links but future ones would help

Starting with w/e hasn’t been put up yet

So like American and pitzer and all

[umbral remnant]

i can find us raw image url's

[rain tiger]

Sure

Yea i have this logged but since we alr used it idk if we wanna reuse or not

For the past couple ED IIs we redid where possible

Just for variety

[hazy sand]

hat!

[rain tiger]

Thats more recognizable

Bc gator

[misty girder]

wait that’s so cute

graduated gator

[hazy sand]

I have an idea for an icon but idk how it'll look

I was thinking putting like, gator teeth around it

[misty girder]

try it

[rain tiger]

You could try it

Also btw if there’s ever a time the discord art is taken and you wanna do sub art lmk and I’ll see if we can put it up. Thing is there isnt rly a credit system there but at least if you do a banner its so huge youd have room to put a username in a corner or smth

Icons on the subreddit are similar in terms of being circular but iirc theyre a “looser” fit in terms of crop

[fervent sleet]

oh i like this

[rain tiger]

As in if you put a discord one on the sub itll give you more space

[pseudo rock]

ic

we can use the ivy day icon

for the sub

[rain tiger]

It wont animate

[pseudo rock]

ik

[rain tiger]

If thats fine by you I can check w pd

[pseudo rock]

i have the png version

[rain tiger]

He usually does art

Ok

Send it

[rain tiger]

I think we need a bg

But I like the a2c

[pseudo rock]

k

[rain tiger]

Is this icon or banner

Icon is 256x256

Well

At least 256x256

Basically square

I think ours is 1064x1064

[pseudo rock]

Ok

that one was banner

this one is icon

[rain tiger]

banner needs to be 4000x128

for sub

[pseudo rock]

o

[rain tiger]

mobile banner is diff (1600x480)

but thats desktop banner

[pseudo rock]

thats long

[rain tiger]

https://mods.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010112892-Banner

yeah it is

[rain tiger]

these are a couple pd did in the past

[pseudo rock]

hmmmm

[rain tiger]

the larger is the mobile

[pseudo rock]

interesting

ok, here is mobile

[rain tiger]

I sent sub mods the transparent version of the a2c ivy day so they could see it better

Colors got compressed tho even when I tried saving og image

[pseudo rock]

ohrip

[pseudo rock]

this one doesnt look compressed

[fervent sleet]

you can try uploading it to google drive & send the link here if u dont want colors to be compressed

[pseudo rock]

a2late

[pseudo rock]

[pseudo rock]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/800761415388102676/1068403217001627768/UIUCA2.png

[misty girder]

💀

[pseudo rock]

This believe it or not was my first banner design

And look at how far we've come now

[knotty flare]

design a new one but for rd

rd is 3/3 i think

[rain tiger]

isnt it pfizer

[pseudo rock]

but it says pitzer

[rain tiger]

why is this icon so small

make bigger

i will post once u do

[pseudo rock]

ok

[crisp charm]

This one was a bit choppy, i increased the frame rate here so it's more smoother

[pseudo rock]

Nice

Now do u know how to conver it to a gif

[crisp charm]

Update the Google sheet with this link

[pseudo rock]

Ok

Need in gif

[crisp charm]

Ugh gifs would fuck up the frame rate by a lot

[pseudo rock]

Nahhh

[crisp charm]

Okay lemme see if i can do it

[pseudo rock]

U can adjust the frames

[crisp charm]

How do you do it

Usually i run it through an online converter

But idt that's the best way to do it

[pseudo rock]

https://ezgif.com/video-to-gif

I use this one

[crisp charm]

Oh it's the same one i use

[pseudo rock]

It has a frames option

[crisp charm]

How much do i set it at

[pseudo rock]

U can just crank it up to the max

[crisp charm]

Alr

[pseudo rock]

Lol

[crisp charm]

Here bet

[pseudo rock]

Well done

[crisp charm]

Yayy

I think i can now work on other college banners and stuff too

This was fun

[pseudo rock]

NYU is a goofy ass school

[crisp charm]

Nyc in a nutshell

[orchid iris]

Great banner bro

[orchid iris]

Where’s the rat crawling from the bomb shell

[hazy sand]

This is fantastic

[crisp charm]

No way y'all really took the shit i made as a shitpost as something genuinely good

[rain tiger]

This

[sharp bane]

Looks great

[pseudo rock]

Ty

[rain tiger]

So whats the deal for the 15th’s icon schedule

If someone reminds me I’ll probably put it up earlier tomorrow bc I have a flight that passes through midnight ET

Like do we have a final one for NYU and is American confirmed for the 15th

Ope villanova also conformed for 15th today

Not a big school but

[pseudo rock]

Colgate

[rain tiger]

In case anyone wants to do combined art

[pseudo rock]

and NYU

both animated

too late

[rain tiger]

Which is nyu tho

Ive seen like 10 nyu icons

[fervent sleet]

i think this is the final

[pseudo rock]

wait

i added the rat

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1068814960437764157/1074060427748708452/COLGATE_WINK_WINK.gif

These are the final icons for the 15th

[fervent sleet]

[rain tiger]

Would anyone like to make a Valentine’s Day icon and/or banner

[pseudo rock]

[pseudo rock]

[long bronze]

[rain tiger]

[misty girder]

[rain tiger]

[pseudo rock]

Carly gettin impatient

[rain tiger]

Tbf stuff is probably getting switched out early tomorrow

[misty girder]

damn those bagels must be good as hell 😭

[crisp charm]

fr

I made one since the bagels were taking too long

[pseudo rock]

Can u make the whole bg white?

[crisp charm]

Just throw a bunch of transitions together and you have yourself a masterpiece

[pseudo rock]

Like no black

[crisp charm]

Lemme see if i can

[pseudo rock]

Or a darker pink

[crisp charm]

What do you prefer

@pseudo rock

[pseudo rock]

white

[crisp charm]

Or i could alternate the colours

[pseudo rock]

nah

[crisp charm]

Pink white pink white

[pseudo rock]

ur heart isnt a png

[crisp charm]

It'd make it pop imo

[pseudo rock]

nah

its a small space

[crisp charm]

Alright white it is

@rain tiger @pseudo rock

[rain tiger]

Hm idk if this type of animation fits Valentine’s Day

[umbral remnant]

sure it does

[rain tiger]

Also a lot of white space on some of these

And others have too little

[crisp charm]

cant do anything about that since its a filter

lemme try sth hold on

[rain tiger]

Yeah I don’t think the filter matches too well in general

It looks very much like a fan cam animation

[crisp charm]

That was what i was going for

[rain tiger]

But the designs around it

Are kinda yucky

I don’t like the bubbles and all

[crisp charm]

Okay I'll scrap it then?

[rain tiger]

See what else you can try

[crisp charm]

I resized it

Do you wanna see that or

[rain tiger]

If you want sure but also try another too

[crisp charm]

I have to hop on work rn so I'll just send what i have rn

[shadow citrus]

you should make it say "touch grass" in small letters somewhere

[pseudo rock]

wouldnt be visible atall

[shadow citrus]

it would be a funny little easter egg though

[pseudo rock]

nobody wood notice

[shadow citrus]

😔

[pseudo rock]

u wanna make an icon

for v day

[shadow citrus]

uhhhhhh

idk if i have time lol

[pseudo rock]

LMFAO

[rain tiger]

@pseudo rock nyu icon won’t work

File too large

Can’t be over 10240kb

[pseudo rock]

Shot

It’s too long

[rain tiger]

I board relatively soon

I’ll probably buy wifi on my phone tho

[pseudo rock]

Ok

I will re export w lower frames

[pseudo rock]

i think this might work

[rain tiger]

Yep

[pseudo rock]

nice

[rain tiger]

I gave cookie the role but idt i can do #🖋-changelog until I’m fully home bc that involves desktop and I’m not double buying wifi

But it’ll be before morning so not a huge thing

[crisp charm]

Yay new role

[umbral remnant]

my previous uc banners don't work with overlay so here's this one

[pseudo rock]

maybe we can kick off march 1 w this

[umbral remnant]

honestly discord's compression make images work better than iconography for banners

[unborn lava]

Cal

[pseudo rock]

UCB

[unborn lava]

No one calls cal UCB

[pseudo rock]

all of UC San Diego does

[unborn lava]

Unless they go to another uc and have an inferiority complex

Oops you said it first

[pseudo rock]

PSA to UCSD students from the Berkeley community

Recently a meme was shared to our subeddit outlining a dismissive and disrespectful act that, often, many non-Berkeley students are guilty of.

Please do not refer to Berkeley as "UCB." This is not the proper way to refer to the University of California's original and flagship campus. Cal, Berkeley or UC Berkeley are all proper and acceptable ways to say it. UCB, on the other hand, is not.

As the system's most prestigious and respected campus, we feel that it is important to honor and maintain an appropriate level of respect for our university's name. We feel that "UCB" cheapens our brand and doesn't emphasize the incredible prestige associated with Berkeley.

While it may be acceptable to refer to all other UC campuses in initialisms due to their lack of recognition and prestige, this is not acceptable for the flagship and most well-known campus, and we therefore request that you cease using the name "UCB" to refer our school. Thank you.

TL:DR

Don't say "UCB" when referring to Berkeley.

[unborn lava]

This!

As someone deeply tied to Cal I can’t say how much I care about this enough

[pseudo rock]

Hello chat

u guys get an exclusive first look

[crisp charm]

BENZ FOR MOD

[umbral remnant]

ucb

[rain tiger]

Do we have banner for the 17th or just icon

It’s JHU + a small UGA wave

[pseudo rock]

only JHU

[deep roost]

I saw that GW was on the list of schools needed for an icon/banner, so I found this https://creativeservices.gwu.edu/typefaces-lockups

[pseudo rock]

Ty

[deep roost]

Might make a quick and dirty icon in the morning

[pseudo rock]

Every school has marketing guidelines

[deep roost]

I was just about to say

[pseudo rock]

Actually every brand

[deep roost]

Sometimes when I'm bored I make shitty edits of logos to make into memes

One time I made the WGI logo into "WIG" and it's still one of my favorite projects kol

[pseudo rock]

Really

Make some a2c icons

We have a long list

[deep roost]

actually my favorite favorite project was when i remade the tumblr dashboard on Google Slides 💀 but I'll make some icons tomorrow

[rain tiger]

I think GW came out today actually

Oh on the 14th yeah

FWIW the spreadsheet does work but you’re taking a risk if you use it bc it’s not all announced schools

#1048131949367144448 will be all the confirmed stuff

[pseudo rock]

we can pin the finalized icons and just use the spreadsheet to log. im prob not gonna update the sheet as often as #1048131949367144448

[rain tiger]

Yeah pin finalized icons that are nearby

Bc there is a pin limit

[pseudo rock]

yea we can pin and unpin

[deep roost]

Draft of a GW-themed icon using their font. Worried that the cap could be too small, so I might just remove it flat-out

[pseudo rock]

You don’t necessarily need to use their font

Reminds me of an elevated Ariel

I think maybe a Quaker wearing the grad cap might look a lil more recognizable

[lament spindle]

[rain tiger]

[pseudo rock]

Mr beast is a nice guy

He would never sue a2c

He did rip off squid game after all

[crisp charm]

how about lemon yellow

[rain tiger]

PowerPoint presenters are using that rn

[crisp charm]

i mean after the event is the role still gonna be there

what about sage green

i think its contrasty enough from the mod colour

or is any green a no go

[pseudo rock]

i want green

[pseudo rock]

i want this emoji too pretty pls

[rain tiger]

Green is mod

Well

Staff

Maybe I should make devs that color

[pseudo rock]

carly can u pls add the emoji

[crisp charm]

hmm okay lemme see

[rain tiger]

Yeah what’s the hex for this maybe we should change dev over

We’d have to change their icon too tho

[crisp charm]

B5E5A3

[rain tiger]

Ty

I will ask mods about them changing

[crisp charm]

wb ultraviolet

[rain tiger]

A bit bright

@pseudo rock why don’t you work on a new campaign

Why devs or mod should switch to sage green

And y’all should get dev color

[pseudo rock]

gaurdians?

[rain tiger]

Oh

I meant graphic design

Yeah you wouldn’t get it then lol

But for the people

[pseudo rock]

wtf

[rain tiger]

Well

I could switch the order

[pseudo rock]

i need my emoji

so i can campaign

31 ppl have my back

[rain tiger]

Will you use it to get people for ppt night

[pseudo rock]

huh

[rain tiger]

Like get them to sign up and attend

PowerPoint night

[pseudo rock]

yes

[rain tiger]

Ok send file that works

[pseudo rock]

im honestly not sure if i can attend tho lol

[rain tiger]

Ik

But you can still use ur words

[pseudo rock]

ok

[rain tiger]

And tell them to go in ur honor

[pseudo rock]

def

ok

im gonna buy the cameo tonight

[crisp charm]

that sounds good too

i mean does a lighter purple work?

[pseudo rock]

this ones for the books

[crisp charm]

yall literally exhausted the colour wheel

[rain tiger]

Depends

[pseudo rock]

this should work

[rain tiger]

its 395

[crisp charm]

[crisp charm]

?

[rain tiger]

thats kinda like grad innit

[crisp charm]

true

utghhg

devs are part of staff no

[rain tiger]

yes

[crisp charm]

well i thinking shifting them to sage green and we adopting their colour is the best play

[rain tiger]

ive proposed a shift in mod chat

we shall see what happens

[crisp charm]

alrightt

[pseudo rock]

much smaller

[rain tiger]

[pseudo rock]

YAY

TY

[tender wind]

cookie ily for this suggestion if mods end up getting this

i’ve hated this mod green for too long!!!

[crisp charm]

its a much prettier colour innit

[tender wind]

innit indeed

[pseudo rock]

Wait will u be able to show my campaign vid

That’s gotta be the biggest selling point

[rain tiger]

I asked the mods if anyone could stream it

But here’s a preview of a possibility

[patent nexus]

I randomly discovered this channel
@pseudo rock damn your designs are insane!

[rain tiger]

I plug it in #🖋-changelog on occasion but it’s rare people actually show lol

[patent nexus]

I never knew #🖋-changelog even existed ahaha

I'm a boomer

[rain tiger]

Lol

[pseudo rock]

Ayyyy ty!!

[patent nexus]

Yessir

[pseudo rock]

be sure to spam this when ur in #🚀-general-chat yea?

[patent nexus]

😂lmao ok

[rain tiger]

dev icon needs a change

#39ad7f

[crisp charm]

You got rid of our badge

Nvm it's there

I'm on crack

So sorry

[pseudo rock]

@hazy sand can u recolor the dev icon

[rain tiger]

If you could also send a larger version in case we ever need to do stuff w it that’d be cool too

[pseudo rock]

do u kno how to change the hue

[pale ocean]

Wait I'll see if I can

@pseudo rock

[pseudo rock]

to this hex color

#39ad7f

or similar

just to match the dev icon

[pale ocean]

Would this work?

[pseudo rock]

yeaaaa

export png

[pale ocean]

It is png

[pseudo rock]

but w/o the white bg

u know transparency

[pale ocean]

Does this distort/blur the image!!?!

[pseudo rock]

image is clear, its just not a transparent png tho

[pseudo rock]

the first one u sent has transparency

[patent nexus]

Use remove.bg

Maybe

[pale ocean]

Yeah that worked

Thanks

[patent nexus]

Cool

[pseudo rock]

great work

thanks!

mayb she'll give u the GD role now lmao

[pale ocean]

Lol I just did that cause I was getting bored studying for boards.

[pale ocean]

Wait who is she? Carly?

[pale ocean]

My first logo. Any suggestions? (It's a pretty basic one cause I'm not much experienced in making logos)

[hazy sand]

Yaurrr

Oh nvm

I see it has been done

[umbral remnant]

this seems like it'd look better as a banner, in whic case you wanna make it a 16:9 aspect ratio and leaves some space at the top for the server name that discord adds

[misty girder]

it’s kinda hard to read white on yellow so maybe try putting outline on the letters

[rain tiger]

oberlin mar 18

[hallow ice]

[pale ocean]

Thank you for your inputs @umbral remnant and @misty girder. Will make the changes as soon as possible.

[pseudo rock]

No rush at all (unless the decision date is approaching)

[pale ocean]

🙂

[pseudo rock]

🤝

[pale ocean]

Would this work?

[misty girder]

looks great!!!!

[pale ocean]

😀

[crisp charm]

its a bit low quality, the edges are rlly pixelated

[pale ocean]

Does this fix it?

[crisp charm]

i think its better if you retain the yellow bg but use a diffferent tint thats similar to the one on the college's logo

try hex #eaa200

[pale ocean]

Does that blur the image?

[crisp charm]

the off centeredness is fucking with me 😭

nah its not blurred

[pale ocean]

I did that bc there is discords tag

Wait I'll try to fix it

[crisp charm]

you can use this as an overlay

[pale ocean]

@crisp charm

[crisp charm]

try overlaying it

[pseudo rock]

the first one u sent would work better

nice work!

[hazy sand]

What other schools need to be done?

I can do a UF icon as well

[pseudo rock]

Oberlin College

#1048131949367144448

[hazy sand]

Bet

[rain tiger]

Middlebury is also on oberlin day

BU is 25th of March

[pale ocean]

So, is there anything else I need to do?

[pseudo rock]

nope

[pale ocean]

👍

[last monolith]

👋

[pale ocean]

How to get the GD role @pseudo rock?

[pseudo rock]

you will get it once ur banner is used

so whenever harvey mudd drops

[pale ocean]

Kk thanks

[rain tiger]

No guarantees

Bc Harvey mudd isn’t on the calendar rn

And if it overlaps with a large school that could take precedent

[long bronze]

Umiami ED2 tomorrow

(most likely)

[rain tiger]

If anyone is very fast

UFlorida is today

[rain tiger]

Do we have icon too

[pseudo rock]

Idk

I don’t think so

[tender wind]

aw the banner is so cute

[hazy sand]

Heck

I was working on an icon but I wont be able to get it done in time

[strong pewter]

Graphic design is my passion

[rain tiger]

I like it but It’s gonna look weird when someone’s on the server and the icon gets rounded square yk

Bc then it’ll not fit all the way

This shape

[last monolith]

here's some rush ones, they're ehhh

[pseudo rock]

Interesting

Perhaps you could make the a2c text smaller so u could actually see the gator?

Or use a diff png of the gator where it’s only the head

This was something we did befor iykwim https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1051701547907682344/1069002841001304194/A2CMU.png

[long bronze]

umiami ed is today :D

[pseudo rock]

Easy colors

[tender wind]

i like the second one

[rain tiger]

It has the rings tho

Which are just for outlining

[last monolith]

version with gator lower

[tender wind]

i like

[pseudo rock]

nice

[last monolith]

outline and arch versions also

[rain tiger]

can you save this instead of doing a screenshot?

so we get a higher res one

[last monolith]

yeah, trying to, site only allowed 3 downloads a day and my bank put my card on hold when i tried to do a free trial 😭

[rain tiger]

Did you not use photopea or smth

[last monolith]

pixlrx, used it for a while

[rain tiger]

Photopea op

Basically photoshop but free

[last monolith]

i'll switch after this one haha

[pseudo rock]

it doesn't really need to be high res since its displayed so small

[last monolith]

yeah, i wont be able to download it higher res for an hour or two so idk

[pale ocean]

What schools are coming up that need an icon/banner.

I might make one if I have some time but I'm not 100% sure.

[rain tiger]

Gtech in state

And Clemson

[pseudo rock]

ponky made clemson

[pale ocean]

@pseudo rock do I need to do anything else or this would work?

[pseudo rock]

its up to you

idk if cursive fits the best for GT

[pale ocean]

Which text do you recommend?

[pseudo rock]

you could take a look at some of GT's branding guidelines/logos for some insp

[pale ocean]

I guess this would work better

[pseudo rock]

maybe bold the a2c text?

and also move the text and icon down slightly

bc part of the banner will get blocked by the server name

[pale ocean]

@pseudo rock could you pin this one?

[pseudo rock]

Ok

[pseudo rock]

There’s a faint watermark that says LOGO… do u know if u can swap whichever overlay that’s causing that?

[patent nexus]

This looks a bit less CSy

Like doesn't fit the Gatech vibe so well

Otherwise it's great

[rain tiger]

Make the bee fly towards a computer idfk

[pale ocean]

Tbh idk how to do that as I'm not so experienced in graphic designing.

Though does anyone have the bee animation that comes with the acceptance letter. Maybe I could overlay that.

[hazy sand]

thoughts?

[pseudo rock]

which school

[hazy sand]

oberlin

i was going to add the squirrel with a hat but it would get cut off by the discord overlay part

i could put it over the symbol tho

[pseudo rock]

try it

i think it could work

[pseudo rock]

banner prep for my big day

[pale ocean]

When is the voting day?

[pseudo rock]

There won’t be one unfortunately

[pale ocean]

😭

[pseudo rock]

Clemson is pinned

[umbral remnant]

@rain tiger any use for this? maybe to kick off march like benz suggested?

[gray hound]

ap score release date banner

[pseudo rock]

Haha

[rain tiger]

Just make it larger and I’ll put it up

Oh Clemson is today yeah isn’t it

mm this is hard to see

maybe i just have bad eyes tho

[hazy sand]

It is a little hard to read

[quasi grotto]

i think the clemson icon and new banner aren't reflected in #🖋-changelog ?

Or maybe im tripping

[pale ocean]

Yep they aren't

[rain tiger]

added

[pale ocean]

Wow that was a weird coincidence

[misty girder]

somebody else made clemson icon before me

and that one is probably more readable

[pale ocean]

This one?

@misty girder

[misty girder]

yup that one

[long bronze]

yeah that’s mine

@rain tiger I have my old Clemson one from EA

that might be easier to read

[gray hound]

we should have this on june 5

or whenever

[rain tiger]

i need the border chopped off

do u know the dimensions discord needs

[gray hound]

uhh no what are they?

[pseudo rock]

16;9

[gray hound]

ok

[rain tiger]

its 960x540 min but they say 1920x1080 can be shrunk down

i feel like the latter may be better bc id assume itd be higher qual

[gray hound]

ok so this meets the 16:9 ratio although it no longer meets CB's graphics guidelines

[rain tiger]

lmao

looks good tho

im writing up guidelines for art rn

thats why im typing forever

[gray hound]

k

[pseudo rock]

Put the cap on the acorn lol

[gray hound]

oh right i forgot that was part of a2c

[pseudo rock]

The hat is in the pins

[gray hound]

k

[rain tiger]

How to Design for A2C

Moved to this Google doc. Includes required asset sizes, resources, and terms for using.

[rain tiger]

Speaking of other designs

If anyone's down I have two permanent designs that are up for grabs

No requirements other than size and being a2c themed

[pseudo rock]

What

[rain tiger]

Server Invite Background

• Right now we use a plain green a2c. I want to change that. See the images on https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/4415841146391-Server-Invite-Background to see where it gets blocked off. Needs to be 1920x1080
  Server Home Banner
• Found at id:home. Also currently plain2c. I need 1920x480 in 4:1 aspect ratio. Note that it gets sized really weirdly on mobile. I don't really have dimensions for that unfortunately–it's probably gonna be a test as we go type thing there

[pseudo rock]

What’d you want to change

Change the plain green to..

[rain tiger]

like i said it's really up to you

i gave zero direction on our main server banner

whatever you feel fits this server lmao

[pseudo rock]

Mmmkk

I’ll do it

[gray hound]

@pseudo rock i added the hat, do you think it looks good or should i add border/gradient

[tender wind]

lmao i love it

[pseudo rock]

Hahah niceee

I think it’s fine without the gradient

[gray hound]

👍

[rain tiger]

do we have uiuc/gtech for the 3rd

[knotty flare]

i remember gtech had a banner for ea

uiuc did not

[pseudo rock]

No uiuc did

I made it last min

[knotty flare]

i never saw it

on the official banner

[pseudo rock]

Uiuc was the first banner I’ve ever made

[knotty flare]

was it uploaded

[pseudo rock]

I made the hand drawn one first

Yea it was uploaded

[pseudo rock]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/800761415388102676/1068406794264789012/ghjkl.sdfghjuyt.png

I can remake it. I don’t like how it looks

[knotty flare]

yeah i dont like it

[pseudo rock]

It was thrown together on a whim

[knotty flare]

incorporate the somehow

[pseudo rock]

iA2C

[knotty flare]

or maybe put them in the background

idk

like sprinkle tiny I's

[pseudo rock]

Like a cupcake

[knotty flare]

when u make it

how would it be a cupcake

[pale ocean]

I made a banner for GA Tech😶‍🌫️

[pseudo rock]

oh yea

[pale ocean]

This one

[pseudo rock]

add the computer

maybe also use the actual GT bee

[pseudo rock]

hows this LMAO

[knotty flare]

too many and too big

[knotty flare]

or put like one big faint one in behind the two

[pseudo rock]

bruh getting too picky

[knotty flare]

do u like how it looks

[pseudo rock]

oh yea i love it

[knotty flare]

i feel its too crowded lol

[knotty flare]

yes i like this one more

which do u like more

[pseudo rock]

neither

Final

[knotty flare]

^

sarcasm ig

[knotty flare]

every other college has a logo or their mascot in the background

[pseudo rock]

UIUCs mascot looks weird

[knotty flare]

what is it

fighting illini

how it look like

i never seen it

[pseudo rock]

ur joking

didnt u get into UIUC?

[knotty flare]

these two things are not related

i dont do research on mascots

[pseudo rock]

i mean neither do i
but somehow i know what my schools mascor looks like

[knotty flare]

then u know how it looks like?

[pseudo rock]

ok u typed that before i was gonna say smth

[knotty flare]

what?

[pseudo rock]

on the bright side i used uiuc's actual font

[knotty flare]

still needs the logo

imo

[pseudo rock]

carly can choose

idrc that much

in terms of which one gets used

[pale ocean]

@pseudo rock

[pseudo rock]

this is your best one yet!

do u think u could move the cap behind or ontop of the bee? instead of on the G

[pale ocean]

That is messing with the bee

[pseudo rock]

mmk

[pale ocean]

Without the cap. IDK which is better

[pseudo rock]

That looks nice

Great work on this NOYB

[misty girder]

nice banner

[hallow ice]

Uiuc icon tmrw?

[rain tiger]

Oh sorry

I’ll put in up in a min

I decided to do a scholarship the day it was due

[rain tiger]

this cant go up

wrong size

i need 1920x1080

[pseudo rock]

fixed for him

[pale ocean]

Thank you for fixing it. I was in an exam.

[pale ocean]

GT is today right @pseudo rock ?

[rain tiger]

It’s still kinda low qual

But ig I can put it up

i like the design its just pixelated

[patent nexus]

in-state, yes

[pale ocean]

Kk

[umbral remnant]

mit banner???

[pseudo rock]

Haha

Maybe play around w the proportions

[umbral remnant]

checks out with overlay

[pseudo rock]

When I look at that, it doesn’t scream MIT

[umbral remnant]

i should probably use the square-ified logo

but anyway it's supposed to be a nod to mit dome pranks

[pale ocean]

Do we have one for Caltech?

[pseudo rock]

I made cal tech

[rain tiger]

RPI is tomorrow

[pseudo rock]

Ah ic

[gray hound]

i can do RPI, if no one else is doing it

[pseudo rock]

Do it

[gray hound]

banner or icon

[pseudo rock]

inch resting

even tho i was announced

[pale ocean]

Any college which requires a banner/icon? I might have some time tomorrow or the day after.

[pseudo rock]

#1048131949367144448

[fervent sleet]

oh damn northwestern on the 24th

[rain tiger]

We need to commission A2C chan

For the subreddit’s 1 mail

[umbral remnant]

make an announcement i dare you

[azure trout]

Why uchicago on April 10?
Isn't it on March 10

[rain tiger]

Oh I typed it in wrong

My bad

[deep roost]

Where'd you get the source image?

[umbral remnant]

google images

[gray hound]

oh yeah carly RPI is 3/11 so im going to procrastinate on making the banner

[rain tiger]

whered u see that

[gray hound]

https://www.collegeessayadvisors.com/regular-decision-notification-dates-for-the-class-of-2027/

@rain tiger

[rain tiger]

mm i want smth official

ive seen them as wrong before

[gray hound]

huh

[rain tiger]

thats some rando site isnt it

not rpi's site

[gray hound]

carly you are literally darth vader when it comes to rules and procedures if you were a bloodsucking scientific peer reviewer i would not even be surprised

https://admissions.rpi.edu/undergraduate/deadlines @rain tiger OK HERE

[rain tiger]

people in #1051223949310177291 said they got in tho

[gray hound]

ok but jokes aside i couldn't work on the banner yesterday because of usnco

i think they might still have decisions for 3/11 since they haven't changed the website at all so maybe i will still make one

[rain tiger]

yeah thats fine no worries lol

[rain tiger]

Do we have UChicago

For the 10th

[umbral remnant]

this old one

this is what i had lol
https://gyazo.com/0c4ca221fae83ff4641204484d9635e4.png

[rain tiger]

That may be hard to read

Kinda like the Clemson one was

[umbral remnant]

i think it's legible

[cerulean stump]

i like it

[reef stirrup]

is this illegal @rain tiger

[rain tiger]

I think it’s basic

But idk abt illegal

[reef stirrup]

Ok, we’ll assume it’s legal then

[reef stirrup]

@rain tiger

[rain tiger]

Huh

[reef stirrup]

how about lè animated banner

[pseudo rock]

The aspect ration is 16:9

1920x1080

[reef stirrup]

oh

Ok

[pseudo rock]

And also the first frame will be the thumbnail that shows

So this won’t really work

[reef stirrup]

o whoops

I could just make the first frame the whole thing spelt out or just change the animation

[umbral remnant]

good luck because uchi rd applicants are damn sure gonna need it

[reef stirrup]

keybored gets it

[pseudo rock]

Add the thumbnail to the first frame

Also convert it to a gif

[umbral remnant]

we should do something cow themed for ucd

i think it would be funny

[rain tiger]

Shore but idt they announce it advance either

Most UCs don’t

[umbral remnant]

damn, you can't take my word for it

sad

[pseudo rock]

Too high

I think

[umbral remnant]

i'm gonna stop putting the words 'applying to college' in my banners going forward

[reef stirrup]

Yep

idk why the quality is so shit

(perhaps because it’s just a bad banner lol)

[young cove]

true

[rain tiger]

Omg you took the phrase I end #🖋-changelog with

[reef stirrup]

Oh, you’re right lol

[pseudo rock]

LUCK

[rain tiger]

Caltech on the 11th

[pale ocean]

There is no banner/logo for Caltech!!?!?

[rain tiger]

Nope

[pale ocean]

If I have time today, I'll try to make one though I can't be sure.

[rain tiger]

You have until Friday

Bc we put it up the day before

Well kinda

[pale ocean]

Would this work? It's just a quick attempt though.

Yep

It's the Nature's Engineer

[reef stirrup]

so they copied MIT

[pseudo rock]

The caltech title wont be visible

and the a2c logo should always stay centered for icons

[pale ocean]

Okay got ya.

What's the animation time for Banner? @pseudo rock

[pseudo rock]

refer to the pinned message

[pale ocean]

Can this be cropped to make a banner?

[reef stirrup]

why yellow

[pseudo rock]

I’m not a huge fan of the font

[umbral remnant]

honestly when i think of caltech what comes to mind is cool space travel stuff because they're affiliated with jpl

i'm trying to shy away from slapping a logo and 'applying to college' on a gradient

[pseudo rock]

Yea overplayed

My fault

[misty girder]

may take a crack at a logo tomorrow

or a banner

[rain tiger]

The white on yellow doesn’t work

Not very easy to read

I don’t even see why the white logo is there to begin with

It seems like it’d look fine without it

[pale ocean]

Okay I'll do a different design tomorrow.

Maybe using their beaver

[umbral remnant]

for example

[patent nexus]

naive attempt ^

[patent nexus]

this looks dope!

[umbral remnant]

same idea haha, carly and benz you guys pick

[misty girder]

bruh both of those look amazing holy shit

I kneel

🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

[pseudo rock]

amazing

[umbral remnant]

here is an icon at its most basic and boring - if anyone comes with something cooler, use that

[misty girder]

bro keybored is COOKING tonight

https://tenor.com/view/desmondpacito-cooking-chef-gif-12378159

[umbral remnant]

i'm doing these in windows 10 paint lmao if i learned to use a legit software i would one day rival benz

[pseudo rock]

nah u alr are

[umbral remnant]

i am honored

[misty girder]

bruh if u had photoshop that would be too powerful

god nerfed you

[pseudo rock]

fr

good stuff

this was my exact vision for this thread

[patent nexus]

this looks distorted but still gave a shot lol

made on google slides

[umbral remnant]

this one is super cute though

[patent nexus]

the caltech beaver doesnt fit well though idk lol

also this is the version without the a2c hat and a slightly thicker font

[pseudo rock]

i like it

helvetica

my favorite font

[patent nexus]

yes

[pseudo rock]

whenever anyone does icebreakers, i always share my fav font

helvetica 😍

[patent nexus]

this is my first time designing a logo so I just picked the font from the caltech portal lol

[pseudo rock]

cal tech has excellent taste

[pale ocean]

Wow this is amazing stuff 🫡

I need to really put some time into Graphic Designing😶‍🌫️

[rain tiger]

Check #1048131949367144448 for stuff

I usually need it a day in advance

Bc I put it up at midnight + we need time for edits

[lusty snow]

alright

[lusty snow]

this is what i came up with for northwestern

the cap looks a little funny on the wildcat but i think it looks alright

[pseudo rock]

hahaha pretty cool

did u use the icon outline guideline? The text might need to be a little smaller

check the pins

[lusty snow]

fuck

slightly improved version

[umbral remnant]

dope

[hazy sand]
