You can post your entry (or as many entries as you wish) as attachments to posts in this thread. Post them in a decent size but remember that the final size as an icon will be 15x15 pixels, so keep it very simple.
Keep in mind that the icon is supposed to draw attention to that particular post as being of particular interest because of the number of views and/or replies it has gotten.
Prize for the winning entry is a two-year subscription to Catamaran Sailor Magazine for U.S. residents and a one-year subscription for anyone from another country.
Plus, of course, fame and glory!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Deadline for entries is two weeks from today, which would be May 26.
Spiders are expressly prohibited. Personally, I kind of like the photo of Chad's pit bull. | | | Re: Contest: Find an icon to replace the "flames"

Unregistered | Can you reverse the the direction the boat sails in. That way, it would move towrads the title of the thread and direct the eye towards the title. | | | Re: Contest: Find an icon to replace the "flames"

Posts: 1,382 Essex, UK | Dan, just a thought; is there any way that you can 'speed up' the animation without having to remake the whole gif? It just seems to take a tad too long to complete the sequence..

Posts: 1,449 | Mary, I would much rather a static icon. My vote would be for a devil with horns and pitchfork all in just red. It would be wicked and hot! I'll hunt around and see if I can find an example of what I mean. Regards, Phill
I know that the voices in my head aint real, but they have some pretty good ideas. There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!

Personally, I don't see any reason for having an icon showing lots of views or replies, because this forum is so incredibly active that almost all posts get lots of views and/or replies. And if they don't get replies, they should slide down the list, as per normal. Who cares how many people read something if they don't have any reason to reply to it? And whoever posted it originally always has the option of bumping it back to the top if they want it to keep it out in the light. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> | | | Re: Contest: Find an icon to replace the "flames"

Posts: 984 2017 F18 Americas Site | John I could easily make it faster but it seems as though there is not a call for it. I am going to share the other one in 15 X 15. Looks pretty good but still too much motion for Mary. Dan | | |
