Server Icon/Banner Submissions

[shrewd zephyr]

Hot

[rain tiger]

rip

sorry billert

i used the wrong webhook

[raw inlet]

its all good

[last cobalt]

That's creative af

[prime stump]

maybe we can have this for uc decisions

also for dec 15 since a lot of decisions come out that day, what will the icon be?

[last cobalt]

A2C decision day one

Maybe

[prime stump]

which one 👀

[last cobalt]

Early decision results banner here

[prime stump]

uchicago one is lit

[last cobalt]

The one I made is the best🙏

Jk

[prime stump]

back to oats' cool ass banner pls

[rain tiger]

Ngl this is kinda rude

Would appreciate if we don’t imply someone else’s banner isn’t good

[prime stump]

oh no qb banner is fire i just meant bcuz its over?

sorry if that came across as rude

[rain tiger]

We run on Eastern time for future reference

It’s easier to change at the same time daily regardless of when a decision released

Otherwise people would expect us to keep up with every decision to the minute even if they don’t preemptively announce

[prime stump]

makes sense yeah

[rain tiger]

No worries, glad we cleared it up tho

[hazy sand]

do we have a layered version of the current icon? like a psd or something with layer data

i want to try giving it a light snow animation :)

[rain tiger]

i think this is it?

[rain tiger]

do we have ga tech stuff

or ohio state

ga tech is only in state so its nbd

ohio state idk how they do it

[rain tiger]

Oh we can reuse from last year lmfao

We have a dual William/georgia tech icon

And both are releasing on the 8th

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QVZKNoTZ19B6SDsexkXw3ODX7keOZX_O/view

[rain tiger]

Ik almost no one applied here but does anyone wanna make a banner or icon for funsies for today

Bc

[raw inlet]

i did not realize that they had an official discord

this is probably the worst time in the year because all my teachers decided to give me homework the week before final exam week

so i dont think i can do this one

[rain tiger]

No worries

[pseudo rock]

@hazy sand cook

[hazy sand]

what time do we need it by

oh nvm i see

[last cobalt]

Crazy that they have an official discord and are active in a2c

Is that just a Skidmore student or ao

Can we work with them and have an AMA

[rain tiger]

They work for the office but aren’t a student

[last cobalt]

That's cool

[hazy sand]

We ain't making it out of the kitchen with this one

[raw inlet]

lol

[last cobalt]

💀💀10 min edit

Yours looks better

[rain tiger]

Ngl this could be kinda fire but it’s hard to distinguish it’s a2c rn

[last cobalt]

I made it like that cuz it zooms in in the phone version so that would be visible

Are we still adding the banner/icon for it

[rain tiger]

Idt we can do much abt that phone

It’s gonna cut off either way

Your words are

So why not fully adjust it

[last cobalt]

You make a very good point

[last cobalt]

I'm experiencing average photopea issue where my file got saved as a 0KB file

Aka it never saved

So I can't edit

[rain tiger]

Rip

[last cobalt]

It happens way too many times bruh

[last cobalt]

Can you still use the banner or nah

[rain tiger]

Idk

Is it even the right size

I can’t tell on mobile

[hazy sand]

I think it would be if we used mine

Dont actually

I could try and make it nicer but idk if I'll have it done in time

[last cobalt]

I like yours but it says applying2skidmore

Today is the result day

[hazy sand]

But its like

Applying to College

Server name

Its not really about the action of applying to skidmore

Its just like

Name

And I also get what you're saying

[last cobalt]

Yeah I get that

Ig it works

[rain tiger]

i was going to try your banner but it doesnt fit

[last cobalt]

No fking way💀

Oof ale

Alr

[urban cape]

a2caltech looking clean af🔥

[umbral remnant]

thanks

[last cobalt]

The icon looking Amazon

Amazing*

[rain tiger]

It does look Amazon

Jeff bezos would endorse for blue origin 🔥🔥

[rain tiger]

Btw

Mobile layout changed

So the sticker is proportionally larger now (I think)

But it’s not stretched like it was before where it didn’t fit at all

[raw inlet]

discord why

[rain tiger]

It’s like this on Benz’s

It’s nbd

But just note for anything future

[pseudo rock]

maybe this looks better

idk, for some reason i just updated my mobile and mines not like that

[rain tiger]

Wonder if it’s a TestFlight thing then

I won’t change unless other people mention it

[pseudo rock]

yuh

[prime stump]

mine's like this too

[tender wind]

same

[rain tiger]

So we’ve got an old Harvey Mudd banner for Tuesday

We could use a Swarthmore icon?

[last cobalt]

I shall try to make it🫡

[last cobalt]

.

[rain tiger]

?

[last cobalt]

Here

The circle is meant to be

[rain tiger]

i think we need to vote for whats going up on the 14/15

we have old stuff we can put up

its just we have more than enough

so idk which

ill sedn them

oh wait i kinda lied

its either clemson yale/penn dual or american for 14 icon

so i feel like itd go to yale/penn dual

somehow we do not have a banner tho

[last cobalt]

Yale Penn frfr

[rain tiger]

Options for anyone interested in banner (Harvard is allegedly the 14th too via admissions office call but they haven’t officially confirmed)

15th we could do JHU, NYU, or WashU icon

[last cobalt]

But which colleges are we choosing to have a banner/icon put up

[rain tiger]

thats up to whoever makes it

[last cobalt]

Ohh

[rain tiger]

icon im doing yale/penn duo for 14th i think

bc its alr made

the ones im listing rn over text are ones we alr have

the image is everything releasing that day

regardless of if we have it

[rain tiger]

banner 15th we have nyu, northwestern, jhu, premade

[last cobalt]

Aight I see

[rain tiger]

If we don’t want one of these this is the current list of options

i can send the exact images we have rn

[last cobalt]

NOTRE DAME

I WILL MAKE ND

[rain tiger]

washu icon is very cute but im a fan of the shitpost core of nyu icon

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fh3u9ybxa1IgP6ugF8saKtY33wE8P8K-/view
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VLbaVuA1gunfTxDO4ekHOPWhVCy-m7Ga/view

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z2aT39IdSYI5PmdQ_cQowCcyqCLVRuHS/view

all three of these are ed i

so using one doesnt mean we cant use another later

[last cobalt]

You know what I love NYU and washu

[rain tiger]

i threw all three in gen chat

jhu is winning atm

[hazy sand]

i really like the jhu one

but i agree carly the shitposty nyu icon is <3

[shrewd zephyr]

The GIF artifacts only make it better

NYUwU

[last cobalt]

NyaUwU

[prime stump]

nyu>>>>

[pseudo rock]

Neu

[rain tiger]

i just ntoiced

the a2c logo is nowhere on yours

so people arent gonna recognize the server

for swarthmore

im hesitant now

we alr get complaints abt that with current ones

i feel bad noticing this late

but i didnt pay much attention until now

but weve had multiple people be like "yeah i almost left bc i didnt recognize icon"

and i can see that happening here

[pseudo rock]

Honestly just turn this icon into a banner

[rain tiger]

i was thinking this

but i cant do that

idk how

[pseudo rock]

i can

its easyu

[rain tiger]

ty!

[pseudo rock]

aw shit

cmky tweakin

[raw inlet]

wait was there an icon because i didnt see it

[pseudo rock]

ya swathmore i think

its taken down now

[rain tiger]

i totally bs'ed this just now since we converted the swarthmore one

but if you wanna make a new one go ahead

[raw inlet]

is this for harvey mudd

icon

[pseudo rock]

looks good

[rain tiger]

yes

i will center more

[pseudo rock]

square might crop in the circle

[rain tiger]

oh

i got it to barely fit on a revised version lmfao

[raw inlet]

btw where are yall getting this funky hat from

i thought this was supposed to be the official one or whatever

[pseudo rock]

technically this one is a recreation

i made that by hand

[raw inlet]

i see

[pseudo rock]

the one carly has is the original ai file

but i never had the ai file, so i trace copied it

[raw inlet]

honestly this looks enough like the harvey mudd logo to use it
shrinking it slightly to fit in the circle should work as a good enough logo without the cropping

[pseudo rock]

Sheeeesh

My app updated

The oval blocks the banner

Idk how I feel ab this update ngl

Bruh it’s impossible to swipe right and see online members

and it keeps taking me to the random catch up thing

So annoying bruhhhh

[pale ocean]

Hello!

[pseudo rock]

whatup noyb!

[pale ocean]

Nm, done with my 1st semester now doing winter projects. Wbu?

Wait why was I muted

[rain tiger]

Your discord glitched and spammed your message

So the bot muted you for spam

[pale ocean]

Oh lol

[pseudo rock]

Been busy, trying to survive the end of the quarter I guess

Lots of finals this week

[pale ocean]

Damn!! All the best for your finals. You'll do great ik.

[last cobalt]

Oof

[last cobalt]

I didn't realize the logo was mandatory mb

Thanks @pseudo rock for editing the banner

[pseudo rock]

Np

Logo isn’t mandatory, it just needs to say A2C big and clear

[rain tiger]

Do we have anything for server anniversary on Tuesday

I have last year’s icon

But idt we have banner

[hazy sand]

how old is a2c turning

[raw inlet]

3 I think

You could do something like turn the letters into candles on a cake

For an icon/banner

[rain tiger]

Yes we’re turning 3

[last cobalt]

My predictions say that

Tuesday will be jolly

[rain tiger]

That’s not an anniversary banner?

[pseudo rock]

It should be the perm banner

[last cobalt]

Nuh uh the animated banner is the best

[rain tiger]

stanford or nyu for 15th icon

this is fine for today right

[gray hound]

OH YAY YOU USED MY BANNER AGAIN

btw can i get graphic design

[rain tiger]

done!

[gray hound]

ty

[urban cape]

a2duke looking sick

[mental sleet]

this is awesome, i love all the different themes

is there a list of icons/banners that are needed/wanted? i'd love to contribute

[rain tiger]

This would be cute

[rain tiger]

This is what we have rn https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14NN-f5I16NxYRb96oSz55chjH7vne_rIZY14LI6sP3Q/edit?usp=sharing

Nothing is really needed atm idt

The hard part with creating things in advance is we dunno who’s releasing when

So you could end up creating a couple which overlap with ones we already have

I think UChicago icon could be redone tbh

[mental sleet]

ah gotchu

[rain tiger]

If you wanna do that

[mental sleet]

ty for sharing!

are we allowed to take clipart svgs from online or is it all self-drawn?

[rain tiger]

Go through the pins to find the a2c logo bc we need a2c in big letters if you’re doing an icon

Either pinned one works

We also have overlays you can use so you can see how your icon/banner will fit in relation to discord’s default stuff

You can use online stuff

[mental sleet]

but like for assets, just in general? like if i wanted a horse on the banner (idky) could i find a horse silhouette online or do we have to hand design the horse

ah gotchu ty

[rain tiger]

Yeah that’s fine

To pull online

[mental sleet]

and the icons are always animated?

[rain tiger]

No

If you can animate that’s wonderful but it’s not required

[mental sleet]

❤️ gotchu ty!

[rain tiger]

If you’re dead set on it being an anniversary banner then theme it and I’ll consider it

As is it doesn’t really point to anniversary

Like give the cat a party hat idk

Actually if you theme the cat can you also theme the emoji

Maybe I can make it the role icon for that day

If we do that we probably need a second silly animal for mods so they can still be distinguished

[wooden shale]

Suggestion

A2Cow

[rain tiger]

Ooh cute

[mental sleet]

well this was... definitely an experiment lmao

one day 🥹 👍

[prime stump]

@rain tiger which decisions are releasing tomorrow and do you have something ready or need smth because i saw you said no Harvard icon

[rain tiger]

You can check #📆-decision-dates

And we’re good on stuff for then

We just have to decide which to use

[prime stump]

ooh okay

[shrewd zephyr]

Tuesday I believe

[rain tiger]

Yep

Tuesday

[pseudo rock]

[rain tiger]

Since NYU got moved up I’ll use Stanford icon for tomorrow

The only banner we have now is JHU

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mHHIpaBW-Gi2qaThBIgAH5IotjSob1mi/view

I think if possible we should get Dartmouth/brown assets bc they tend to release on diff days than the other ivies

UVA has also been active this year (I think more than JHU) so we could swap that out for tomorrow if it’s made in time

Should I make a list of low priority stuff

Just for people who get bored and wanna contribute at random times

I’m realizing there are actually a few now

[mental sleet]

like this?

[rain tiger]

check the dimensions

but looks fire otherwise

[mental sleet]

1920 x 1080

also colors didnt send properly

[rain tiger]

theres a gray border tho

[mental sleet]

ah looking

[mental sleet]

oh i just sent a screenshot mb, yeah exporting -- but i am happy to remake or edit or smth, not too proud of it lol

[rain tiger]

ill defer to benz

but its good imo

[mental sleet]

here it is for now ig, just lmk - i can send the photoshop file too if that's easier

gl to everyone!

[raw inlet]

i think its fine

[last cobalt]

Can we change guardian of the rankings role icon and color

[raw inlet]

ok then say what color and icon

if you have something better

[last cobalt]

That sounded.. rough for some reason

I'm just giving an opinion man it doesn't fit the name

[raw inlet]

the issue is that a2c has 50 quadrillion roles and colors cant overlap

[last cobalt]

We don't have a cyan color yet do we :)

[raw inlet]

which cyan

hs senior, graphic design major are both some sort of cyan blue

[last cobalt]

Fair enough, idk if we're allowed to have roles that look similar but not completely same so

What about these

Ik grad student and retired have some sort

I also thought creme would be good

[prime stump]

orange is iconic for guardians

why change

[last cobalt]

Idk I just suggested

Mostly role icon tbf

[raw inlet]

the trophy sorta represents the rankings system used by usnews

[pseudo rock]

Guardian was originally gonna be the us news icon

But since I was a a guardian at the time, I preferred trophy

🏆

However I wouldn’t mind swapping the guardian color with deans list/gd major

[hazy sand]

i could make a custom DL one :)

[umbral remnant]

oh sweet, my banner is back

but for some reason i can't see it

[rain tiger]

It’s happening to a lot of people

Idk why

Works for me tho

[hazy sand]

I fucking dreamed about designing the birthday banner

[pseudo rock]

💀

[last cobalt]

You gotta turn the dream into the real thing squirmy

[rain tiger]

Yeah we got until tomorrow night

For submissions

I think we’re covered for UChicago (deadline would be tonight) unless we wanna change out the icon

[eager tangle]

these can be created for the future right? like if i were to do unc which is in like a month it would be ok

[hazy sand]

I'll do my best to get it done tonight

Like before idk 3am est tomorrow

[rain tiger]

Yeah but on the chance people end up creating some with conflicting release dates then we’ll have to choose only one to put up

So just be aware that we can’t guarantee it’ll go up

But if we retain it for future use we’ll give you graphic design role either way

• UMass Amherst
• Purdue
• Ohio State
• UNC
• UMich
• UW Madison
• Notre Dame
• Dartmouth
• Brown
• Syracuse
• Amherst College
• Skidmore
• GWU
• CWRU

These are all ones I could reasonably see us using that we don’t have

If anyone ever gets bored

[eager tangle]

aight ill make some ty

[rain tiger]

Make sure to double check pins for stuff like assets and required dimension sizes

If you’re making an icon we need a2c in big letters but there’s more flexibility for banners

The banner overlay billert has only applies for desktop, idk if we’re able to get a mobile one

But mobile server name takes up more space

[eager tangle]

ofc

will do thank you

[last cobalt]

Don't we already have a Skidmore banner

[rain tiger]

It didn’t fit

So no

[last cobalt]

Not mine

Squirmies

[rain tiger]

Idr if that was a serious one or not I forgot what it was

[last cobalt]

It was a drawing of the horse

I liked that ngl

[prime stump]

damn how do we not have one for brown or dartmouth

[raw inlet]

👁️

[gray hound]

naurrr you cant promote gambling to underaged kids

[raw inlet]

gamblement

[pseudo rock]

not my idea

lol

[rain tiger]

It’s not real money

It’s discord poker night

With discord’s own built in activity

[gray hound]

https://tenor.com/view/saul-goodman3d-saul-better-call-saul-saulgoodman-gif-26549523

[last cobalt]

Maybe remove the clip art watermark from the icon?

Looking good tho

[pseudo rock]

When u scale it down into an icon, you won’t even notice

[last cobalt]

@pseudo rock nice banner!!

And morgs

[rain tiger]

Should I just use normal for role icon for anniversary then

And mods can be Davis cow

But idk abt the rest of yall

[hazy sand]

almost done with birthday banner methinks

trying to balance quality & size

[raw inlet]

this is my idea for the server icon on 3rd anniversary

idk if ill have the time to finish it given the fact i need to work on research & rd supps

[hazy sand]

ITS SO CRUNCHY

i know its not specific to year 3 but i trie

[raw inlet]

no it has the exact same ideas behind my icon

theres 3 letters of a2c

and its year 3

[hazy sand]

OHHH

youre smart

[raw inlet]

each letter is like a candle on the cake

[hazy sand]

ok on mobile its not that crunchy

[urban cape]

beautiful

[pseudo rock]

A3C

[prime stump]

uchicago banner and icon are superior just like the school fr

[rain tiger]

You have the lil grad cap stick tho

[hazy sand]

Wouldn't be too hard for me to add it I think

[last cobalt]

Is that ai

How'd you do that

[hazy sand]

No 😭 I edited the cake image in gimp to have the candles then added the fire in kdenlive

[rain tiger]

I will add this one if no edits are made by around 11:45pm ET tonight ❤️

Also I’m realizing we’ll have to revert back to normal a2c icon soon very sad

[rain tiger]

im bored so im going to slowly change the roles

[last cobalt]

OOO

when da design major change :3

[mental sleet]

@rain tiger thoughts on A3C as an icon?

or does the 2 need to stay

[rain tiger]

We probably need the 2 tbh

[mental sleet]

valid

working on smth but idk how to make 3 stand out

color is off btw, screenshot

[raw inlet]

clean

[mental sleet]

this fits the crop better maybe

[last cobalt]

A3C would be fire tbh

[last cobalt]

Looks neat👌

[last cobalt]

What's the benz4mod role

[raw inlet]

[last cobalt]

Oh

[mental sleet]

feels wrong 😭

font isnt exactly right either, tried stretched alt gothic atf

potentially better

[rain tiger]

I don’t think we should

If it were animated to change 2 to 3 sure

But static 3 I would not

You have to think about people who don’t frequent the server

[mental sleet]

if only i knew animation 😔

valid

[pseudo rock]

send me the ai

i can animate

[mental sleet]

photoshop bc i suck 😬

ig image trace

one sec

[mental sleet]

.ai ish

[pseudo rock]

Sweet

[pseudo rock]

some light

[rain tiger]

It seems nice but is this in reverse of the mp4

Like when I first click on the channel I’m seeing a3c first

Just wanna make sure the static part will be a2c

[pseudo rock]

yea the thumbnail is still a2c

[rain tiger]

Oh ok cool

[pseudo rock]

the transition is in the begining

[last cobalt]

I wanna see Benz with the Benz role icon and Benz pfp to use the Benz emote

[pseudo rock]

[urban cape]

a2cake is adorable

very well done banner and icon

[last cobalt]

[mental sleet]

this is cute

awesome work benz

[mental sleet]

oo can i make an eid icon? noticed we're missing one

[pseudo rock]

thanks guys

great work on the design @mental sleet

[eager tangle]

hey i did a tulane one i dont have image perms tho

aswell as a unc one

[mental sleet]

do you have linking perms (gdrive)? sounds hype

[eager tangle]

i’m not sure can i dm them to you?

[mental sleet]

im not a mod or anything, but i'd be happy to upload them here yeah!

[eager tangle]

cool

[mental sleet]

@eager tangle

[last cobalt]

WW

[mental sleet]

jhck. W

[eager tangle]

quality is kinda ass i can fix it maybe

ik there was already a tulane one but i made one just bc i like the colors

[rain tiger]

if its not too much trouble would you also be able to convert them to png or jpg

it says theyre webp for me rn

[eager tangle]

yeah gimme one sec

[eager tangle]

is it possible i can have image perms?

i don’t want to abuse i genuinely just want to upload

[rain tiger]

ill override you sure

[eager tangle]

preciate it

does that work?

[rain tiger]

yeah seems like it should

[eager tangle]

cool

[rain tiger]

ty for making these!

[eager tangle]

for sure, as some decision dates get closer i can make more

[mental sleet]

^what colors should i try for?

[torpid burrow]

woah nice

[rain tiger]

Idk enough abt Eid to know what colors would be appropriate for it lol

[mental sleet]

i was raised muslim, and honestly i have no idea either -- islam is practiced by nearly 2 billion people so it doesn't really have association to a specific region per se

ik the arab flag colors are usually black/green/white/red but that doesn't really seem appropriate

purple and gold, or dark blue and white maybe idk

these are really cool inspo i think

oo crescent as C in a2c 👀

there's a lot of time though

[mental sleet]

remove.bg:

https://tenor.com/view/mujikcboro-seriymujik-gif-24361533

[last cobalt]

You'd need to download it and only then they turn transparent

If you copy paste from the thumbnail it doesn't work

[pseudo rock]

only sometimes tbh

[umbral remnant]

why don't more people know about this

[pseudo rock]

wtf

[last cobalt]

Wtf

I didn't know that existed

[pseudo rock]

game changer

[last cobalt]

Bro just unlocked the hidden level

[pseudo rock]

na fr tho

[prime stump]

damn

[raw inlet]

oh crap i forgot about the banner and icons

[urban cape]

a2poker🔥

[rain tiger]

i forgot the banner wont show

theres currently a glitch w banners if you have an event within 24h

thats why theres nothing rn

[last cobalt]

Wow

Is there like a secret server for partnered owners

[rain tiger]

It’s not really a secret but yes

[urban cape]

yayy server christmas icon

[mental sleet]

🎄 ☃️

chrismis!!!

is #🖋-changelog broken btw?

[rain tiger]

No

Poker night was put up too late and the person that made this one is banned lol

[pseudo rock]

Qa

[last cobalt]

Do we need any icon/banners

New years maybe

[rain tiger]

Sure

[mental sleet]

lunar new year banner?

[pseudo rock]

Yes

🐉

[pseudo rock]

need this emoji

[mental sleet]

so i did a thing... but i dont like it

wip, i guess

back to essays 👍

[pseudo rock]

yoooo pretty sickkkk

dragon with the cap is a really nice touch

[mental sleet]

ty!~ I need to figure out the border though, something abt it just feels wrong

[hazy sand]

i like it :)

maybe add more red space around the edges and make the strings on top of the lanterns longer?

like uhh

shitty concept

idk

[pseudo rock]

that could work

or

if you wanted, you could make one large lantern sit next to the a2c logo, and have the dragon printed on it in the same red

that way the lanterns dont get clipped by discords text on the app and desktop

[urban cape]

omgg

a2chinesenewyears

cute

[mental sleet]

idk

i can share ai or psd if it helps too

idk what im doing wrong oops

[rain tiger]

You need to take into account the default stuff discord puts around the banner area

Mobile version

Is larger than desktop

[mental sleet]

ahhh yes gotchu
just the pinned overlay and rounded edges right?

[rain tiger]

I think yeah

The pinned overlay is diff than the mobile thing tho

We don’t have a mobile overlay

[mental sleet]

maybe? open to feedback or restarting ofc, idk

also i typed the mandarin "happy new year" fwiw

idk abt the lantern

[hazy sand]

seems like the detail might get lost

[mental sleet]

i could do a tall lantern right next to the dragon in yellow?

or thinner dragon too

[pseudo rock]

Maybe a simpler image of a dragon

Where it’s just the silhouette

[last cobalt]

Maybe a pattern background

[pseudo rock]

Someone wanna make some new years balls banner

Ball drop

[rain tiger]

Balls

[mental sleet]

maybe closer? i have another with the dragon less dark as well

[mental sleet]

is there an icon yet

[pseudo rock]

There’s neither

[pseudo rock]

Yea this is dope

Great work!

[mental sleet]

happy to edit ofc, i'm never satisfied w my designs rip

[mental sleet]

what color do you think the theme should be?

[pseudo rock]

Whatever you feel looks best

[mental sleet]

animated banner? idk how to animate rip

[pseudo rock]

Doesn’t need to be animated

Could be static

[mental sleet]

should it def be ball drop?

[pseudo rock]

It could be anything

[mental sleet]

this with a2c logo might be the way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH-CrTFVVVo

writing my uchicago supps rn though

[raw inlet]

I actually made a ball drop animation for a different server but it was one of my first works so it's kinda jank lol

[mental sleet]

👀 👀

[raw inlet]

new years animation storyboard

obviously with actual colors in final version

[pseudo rock]

Can you start with the first frame with the logo centered, and then you keyframe it to move to the top

Or maybe we could do A24

Haha

https://tenor.com/view/movies-a24-logo-gif-14767576

[raw inlet]

Yeah could probably do that

[pseudo rock]

Or maybe the text inside the ball could still be the A2C/4 logo

[mental sleet]

this ball?

oh nvm ignore me ig

[pseudo rock]

New guidelines for desktop and mobile banners

just note that on mobile, the bottom edge gets cropped ever so slightly.
if possible, try and keep your designs relatively centered so they don't obstruct the text

[last cobalt]

I don't even read the whole thing in mine

[raw inlet]

well done

[mental sleet]

tysm!

[rain tiger]

oh

do we have a modified one

for RD deadline

on jan 1st

i say modified bc i assume the early one could be modified

to just not say november

[rain tiger]

bc we have conflictions we need to sort if ny day

[raw inlet]

idk

i think probably new years eve

[rain tiger]

yeah so tomorrow

[raw inlet]

wtf time flies

[rain tiger]

Someone will have to remind me the day before this goes up bc I don’t celebrate this so I might forget otherwise but I think it’s a v cute banner

Also with the icon

That already exists just remind me that it exists

[mental sleet]

sorry to break the chain but

do we need a groundhog day banner?

feb 2 2024

[pseudo rock]

Sure haha

[mental sleet]

thoughts? god i really need to stop procrastinating rd supps AHH

[pseudo rock]

hahaha yesss

looks awesome

i feel u on the procastination tho lolll

[mental sleet]

❤️

and for eid..? open to criticism or restarting completely tbh

a glow might elevate it, idk tbh

glow

[tender wind]

cuteeee

[mental sleet]

maybe another for the start of Ramadan?

[rain tiger]

Rip back to normal icon, we need a more creative perm one sometime

[rain tiger]

These look great btw!

[mental sleet]

do we need any banners/icons?

[rain tiger]

Home banner

General new server icon would be nice but I’d want that animated

[rain tiger]

This is the banner that shows up on id:guide

Rn it’s just plain a2c green

It also has different dimensions than a normal banner

Idr the exact but I think it’s 4:1

[mental sleet]

what design do you think? could be a pattern (like a step and repeat), either that or smth more creative

[rain tiger]

Uhh I’m not sure tbh

Never really thought abt it

If you want you can play around with it

[mental sleet]

not this exactly, and cleaner, but this idea? or could be more creative with A2C letters tbh, think that might be a better route

[rain tiger]

Idk if it might be too messy since we use letters vs them w symbols

Size

[mental sleet]

sorry, do you mean a diagonal pattern thing would be messy? if so I think i have an idea for the text based thing

[rain tiger]

I was assuming you meant the A2C logo would be there a bunch of times

[mental sleet]

i see what you mean, i'll try something else fs

[rain tiger]

Actually if you did the grad cap only it could work

I assumed you meant the full thing

With letters

[mental sleet]

i can try a few versions of things and see, tysm!

[mental sleet]

this is the first idea i had

it should say A2C though right?

other thing i was thinking is A2C letters as a pattern with different ones filled and others as dashed

[raw inlet]

I think the dashes make it look kinda distracting from my small mobile screen

[mental sleet]

ah gotchu

valid

mobile for reference, it takes the center bit

hmm

honestly i dont think this is the way to go, but is this any better maybe?

[mental sleet]

honestly now that i look at it again, i think one like @pseudo rock's youtube banner might fit better: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1smDwRKCqC58ELXVgxiKZx0KXaBNedPx4/view

Nice icon

[urban cape]

yass trojan icon so cute

[rain tiger]

Do we have UMass stuff

For the 24th

[mental sleet]

https://www.umass.edu/brand/ 👀

[mental sleet]

do we need icon and banner both?

i can make them tmr

[rain tiger]

If we have time yes

Ty!

[mental sleet]

ofc!

which is higher priority btw

[rain tiger]

Probably icon

[remote obsidian]

Dang i didnt know this thread existed

What colleges are pendinf

[rain tiger]

It’s basically just public EAs. Friday is fine bc UIUC is confirmed and we have icon/banner for them. UNC I expect to be then too and we have banner already. UMD and UMich are maybes for that day too but we can only have two schools a day so we’d only need to worry abt them if they say a day other than Friday

The one that I think might say a day other than Friday is Wisconsin (which we don’t have rn) but even then they might be a Friday one too

If you wanted to retroactively design/futureproof you could make a USC banner

Bc USC so far hasn’t released with other EAs

[mental sleet]

so hyped for groundhog day 2/2

[remote obsidian]

Sounds good I'll probably do that

[mental sleet]

pins have the current list btw

[remote obsidian]

Might do gt too if time

[rain tiger]

That one will probably go up very early and possibly stay up very late bc I’m on a trip that weekend

[mental sleet]

gt is friday right?

[rain tiger]

Yes

[mental sleet]

so valid

heads up cny is 2/10

[rain tiger]

What’s that

[mental sleet]

lunar new year*

[rain tiger]

Ohhh

I thought that was a school 💀

[mental sleet]

lmao cuny

[rain tiger]

Like cuny misspelled

Yeah

[mental sleet]

yeye i learned it as chinese new year in class

[rain tiger]

Nah I’ve heard that too

I just rarely hear it abbreviated

[mental sleet]

中国新年

my class abbreviates the direct translation ig?

anyways mb yeah

hyped

i'll work on umass tmr

[last cobalt]

Lunar new year is usually abbreviated as cny

Mostly in game events I've noticed

But yeah

[torpid burrow]

i dont think ppl actually call it 中国新年 lol

in china they just say 新年 (new year) or 春节 (spring festival)

[mental sleet]

gotchu yeah! we learned 春节 too, I think we learned 中国新年 because we’re in America lol

but my teachers are Taiwanese so idrk

[mental sleet]

^maybe this is common

[mental sleet]

here's... something i guess -- need to work on it, maybe the athletics logo is better? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1068814960437764157/1199218494043074560/umass-1.png?ex=65c1be41&is=65af4941&hm=75e5ba8715b349fe0c23c81addb208733aadec5d265d57e6740265ef153f2fb7&

i can also try the rounded a2c collegiate icon in pins

taken from

i'm much better at banners rip

i'll also do that after icon just pls lmk tysm

[rain tiger]

I like it

It’s not obvious but tbf what assets does UMass have that are obvious

Although also tbf I am not an east coaster

[mental sleet]

i didnt even apply lol

i'll make the banner then lmao

ty

[mental sleet]

maybe?

[torpid burrow]

oh hmm yeah

taiwanese chinese def has some differences

[rain tiger]

this icon isnt showing on my laptop so i cant save it

idk whats up w that

see if you can send it again?

[mental sleet]

[rain tiger]

I only just woke up so idk if there’s time tbh

Usually I prefer to be reminded to be them up night before for this reason

[raw inlet]

banner looks really nice and crisp on my phone idk why
good work

[umbral remnant]

bro i thought it was stanford

[mental sleet]

ty!

[remote obsidian]

Uh i dont think i can do gt for friday sorry bout that

[mental sleet]

[mental sleet]

sorry for the pingpong, forgot to remind you earlier

[prime stump]

icon is so prettyyy

[cerulean stump]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l1TsMQOfZIaeyYNgeRv12wCAYIO8FFhJ/view?usp=drivesdk

^Notre dame banner idea?

[remote obsidian]

Right so how do you know what colleges are done? Does the spreadsheet list everything thats already done and you just think of the ones not done?.

[cerulean stump]

That’s what I did, there’s a post a while above this that says the only ones they would consider posting are x,y,z and Notre dame was one of them

Lemme see if I can find it again

[cerulean stump]

It’s here!

[remote obsidian]

Tysmm

[mental sleet]

looks awesome! just keep in mind the top will be clipped, use [this](#1068814960437764157 message) as an overlay

[raw inlet]

Historically how have we implemented the UT icon

Because their admissions are really unpredictable

[rain tiger]

We haven’t

I don’t think we even have a UT icon?

[raw inlet]

We do

[rain tiger]

No idea why then

Bc I don’t remember ever using it

[hazy sand]

I think it's the same for UNC

I'm not sure we have a UNC icon tho

Or one that we've used

[rain tiger]

Don’t all release at once tho

[hazy sand]

Does UT do it in waves?

[raw inlet]

yeah but the waves are not predictable at all

[hazy sand]

I see

[remote obsidian]

if theres a banner for a certain college, is it okay if theres an icon too or is it not needed

same vice versa^

[remote obsidian]

unc icon?

[pseudo rock]

I made it bc for fun and Carly said no

Bc they do waves

Honestly one of the best a2c icons to ever grace a2c

[rain tiger]

Looks a bit close to A2O

[remote obsidian]

Oh yeah makes sense, I'll play around with it

[clear gyro]

can i make a middlebury banner? I'm really digging the look of the middlebury logo

[torpid burrow]

something like A2ⁿC would be so funny for UNC

[clear gyro]

nvm this shit is too hard

😭

[hazy sand]

If you have an idea I can try and make it a reality

Lol

[clear gyro]

I did but it looks so bad

this is very wip

do you see like the general idea?

😭

[hazy sand]

Aw that looks so cute!

Is the typography the issue?

[clear gyro]

I got the typography down

But like idk it looks so bad to me

[pseudo rock]

Solid

[clear gyro]

Yay!

[hazy sand]

I wonder if you could find a smoother way to incorporate the wave (like using a premade vector/png)

hmmm

[clear gyro]

yeah that's my main concern rn

MS paint not helping rn

[hazy sand]

paint 💔

Do you have the version with layers?

If not I could try and incorporate it

[clear gyro]

I will try to find a way

💪

[hazy sand]

We're here to help <3

(if you need it ofc)

[clear gyro]

smoothed out as much as possible

I think it's... passable as a vector backdrop

[trim tiger]

No offense but thats plain asf

[clear gyro]

The logo itself is pretty fucking plain idk what I should do to spice it up

well still got like three days to fix it

[hazy sand]

Tbf it doesn't need to be "snazzy" or complicated to be good

Simple and plain is a valid option

I want to fix the waves though lmfao

[last cobalt]

I like it

[last cobalt]

Oh

I thought they were mountains

[hazy sand]

oh i thought they were meant to be waves

like a consistsent wiggle

i can see it now as mountains

oooh, i wonder how it would look with translucent clouds?

to fill the blank space

[trim tiger]

Too much would be happening

I think the blankness of the blue is better

[last cobalt]

We need to add an A2Aeroplane like the one in the normal banner

[trim tiger]

This is good

[hazy sand]

yeah just a suggestion bc of the "plain" comment

i like it the way it is bc its pretty plain and clean but

throwing out ideas

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[clear gyro]

It’s a mountain range btw

On the logo

[rain tiger]

Bowdoin releasing on Groundhog Day

Jj already made Groundhog Day banner

Perhaps we could get a Bowdoin icon then

[hazy sand]

ohhhh

yeah i didnt know the mountain range

i like it!

[clear gyro]

Yeah it’s a lot smoother now

I feel like I gotta add something more to it tho

I think the borders look alright on it too

[mental sleet]

sorry i dont have good ideas 😭 what is this mess lmao

[winged hollow]

im at school rn so i had to make this using google slides 😭

[rain tiger]

I like what it’s going for but I think white on white is a bit hard to read

I think you could probably keep it as A2C too

But the bear is cute!

[rain tiger]

Update

Idk if we have UVA icon

But that is now an alternative for Friday

Over bowdoin

[pseudo rock]

I would make the a2 text black

[rain tiger]

So is Tufts

I’m fine with any of them

But I need the final product by this afternoon

Or you can pester admidral if you need until late tonight

[ebon drift]

Hm

[rain tiger]

Oh hi

[rain tiger]

Decisions are on Groundhog Day so I think we’re doing a decision icon/groundhog banner but they’re still working on the icon so I said they could pester you with the final product if I’m not around to give it to you

[ebon drift]

Cool. So I'm changing to groundhog Day and back right

[rain tiger]

Yes

With decision icon possibly instead of groundhog one

But banner will stay same

[ebon drift]

What time do you want it changed. I need to probably set alarms

[rain tiger]

Uhh I usually do midnight ET

But if it’s not on the dot it’s fine

[ebon drift]

So like midnight tonight and tmrw got it.

Setting alarms or else I will forget completely

[rain tiger]

Fair

Ty!

[hazy sand]

I want to find a school that doesnt have a specific decision date and when that school drops, change the icon to whatever the icon is for the day but have it to the breaking like glass and falling away to reveal the other school

I hope that makes sense

[rain tiger]

I think so?

The issue is that if a school doesn’t have a specific decision date how would you get the icon in time

The single exception I can think of here is that for the last couple years UCSD and UCLA have released on the same day minutes apart without either announcing

I have two days predicted for them rn

[hazy sand]

Create the animation as a transparent overlay and just apply it to whatever the current icon is

I was thinking abt it for UNC EA

But I'm not sure of any other similar schools

[rain tiger]

NEU

Did that yesterday

I’d assume they wouldn’t announce ed 2 either

I would not be entirely surprised if NEU/NYU doubled

Or at the very least NEU doesn’t solo release

For ED 2

[rain tiger]

Ok this lines up with last year

The issue is iirc our nyu icon is animated and our NEU is not

So you’d either have to work around that or create new ones

[mental sleet]

we have 4 tufts icons if those are preferred ig?

[cerulean stump]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kWI3s0ieTC2Oy8bwq7LRN2WBw6bZiV76/view?usp=sharing

this bowdoin icon also already exists

[rain tiger]

Yeah but if people think they can make another within the next couple hours we’ll take it

Speaking of

WashU announced for next Thursday

We have icon but no banner

But I also dunno if anyone else will announce for then later

[mental sleet]

petition to make this tomorrow's banner

[ebon drift]

hi

do we have a new icon/banner?

this is what I have for the change in an hour

[mental sleet]

banner is good - i think it's up to you if you'd prefer one of these for icon instead:

• tufts
• bowdoin

[cerulean stump]

i vote bowdoin!

[cerulean stump]

this one is good too if you like it

[ebon drift]

I think we wanted it to say a2c not A2B.

so Bowdoin it is then i guess

Should be changed now!

[cerulean stump]

tyyyyy

[mental sleet]
