English-General•Slitaz 3.0 Art Contest

  Slitaz 3.0 is coming soon, and there needs to be art for its background!
  Everybody can post links here, through a file-sharing service or the Slitaz Community ( http://community.slitaz.org/image )
  
  Loose guidelines:
  
  * Resolution should be 1024x768. I'm going to try to put together a script to crop/unstrech the image for widescreens...
  
  * Try not to let your work take a lot of disk space. Tip: If your image has a lot of plain background or simple designs, PNG is a good format for that. For pictures or complex images, JPEG can save that in a smaller file than PNG can. However, PNG is a free format, so it would be preferred.
  
  * Remember that it has to be your work, or check the copyright licensing to make sure it is redistributable.
  
  * Try to use the slitaz colors ( http://slitaz.org/en/artwork/ )
  
  
  Contributors, please verify this -- I'm basing this off of what I remember about the 2.0 art contest, so let me know what's wrong!

  I can't seem to be able to post any images in the Slitaz Community Site, so I'm linking to the image in my Dropbox Account:
  
  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/758367/slitaz-3-1024x768.png
  
  It's something simple, and the background can be changed to something other than white (I'll provide an xcf soon)

  I've thrown together "Stencil" and it has three variations;

  Feedback welcome!
  
  Contact me if anyone wants the Inkscape SVGs, their CC-licensed :)

  The "Three" is great, the comic-like look is great and the litteral "three" is more original than the numerical one.

  I like the "3", great job!
  
  Can we have the SVG file or one with #222222 background

  Thanks @pankso & @babaorum :)
  
  I've done a grey #222 one, both with a light grey spider and a red (#6c0023) one. The darker spider doesn't have the same impact IMHO. I'll find a decent place for the SVGs since I don't have any personal webspace. I wanna find a open-source artwork type website for them ideally.

  I like your stencil works, seawolf!
  
  What about making one with a transparent background? Maybe you could make a "one size fits most" type background, so users can change the desktop style easily.
  
  Also: community.slitaz.org seems to accept images now, I just posted mine there.

  Hi Seawolf,
  About the two last (grey and grey-red): both spider colors are not ideally according to the background *and* the orange of the caption ("Slitaz 3").
  Can I suggest two other possibilities for the color of the spider:
  
  1) no color: transparency
  2) dark orange
  
  (always prefering the litteral "three" ;-] )

  Thanks for the feedback guys, appreciate it.
  
  I've blogged over at Community again with the new versions. I've done a transparent one, both with and without the bumpy effect, again both grey & red spider. Enjoy.
  
  They're still at imageshack for now, I want somewhere that will hold the SVGs and a rendered PNG. Probs will end up with dA as my fedora stuff should still be there, too. I'll put up a zip of it all, I think, and also the best one (when decided).
  
  The orange outline *is* the standard orange colour (#DF8F06). I've used it because either of the greys would look rubbish, it wouldn't stand out. I think the orange-grey contrast looks quite good...

  Sorry I haven't been here in a while...
  
  Here is another entry - but let me know if I did any of the translations wrong. There is a version without the multi-lingual text, though.

  And the no-text version:

  BTW: When does the contest close? Mid-March?
