Pinky has mentioned Trek badges over on BC:

One other idea to toss out for badge...was lurking about and found "Mallie's Art" in the gallery...if she doesn't mind us doing so, we can make a badge based on something from there. link (http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=gallery;cat=317)   The "colored tree and creek" one would make a good base.

Mallie is OK with that idea, in fact she loves it.
When I spoke with her this morning she was very happy that her artwork is being considered for the badge background image and has high hopes that lots of people will see the badge once it's finished.
This topic is being started so that she can keep track of any progress.   :happy:

the final decision will be made @ Base Camp but if no one else has any objections...I see no reason not to post the candidates for the badge here ....if I'm out of line I'll apologize up front

Played a little with the image I had in mind


(https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg69.imageshack.us%2Fimg69%2F2518%2Ftreencreek.jpg&hash=c138e708c81a94e613825b24de0d4bf22322b124)


I'm having trouble viewing the full image of the original in the gallery - in FF, I get nothing when I click on it.  In IE, I get a blank box with a red x.  Since we keep the size smaller for badges anyhow I just used the thumbnail version, though thought I'd mention.

@Mousie, here's the full sized image from the gallery & the direct link, the real life original image is much bigger of course.
...we have a display issue in the gallery with some of the full sized images that I hope to be able to repair when we do the upcoming software upgrade.

Thanks Bigfoot - had another thought for this(which was where the full size image came in), cropping it so that there's more focus on the tree, but I like the original with the stream a bit better.

It also creates a space for the text we need without destroying the integrity of the picture itself.   riteon

I'd just like to say for the record that as plans were unfolding for this trek the forum skin was actually not what is there now and I was trying to come up with an idea for a possible badge.

To me because of our crunching history and the inspiration Ken has been for a long time to me he has always been BigFoot and this place where he calls home.

As such and because I enlisted some help before the current concept was proposed I'm still going to put up what I consider another fitting embodiment of Our Family Forum for a badge option.

I do quite like the Mallie one so must admit to being somewhat torn now.

Oh well it never hurts to have variety.   :wink2:

This work is one of Les's creations..........

LW ...I like that as well, a different personality; but honoring BF as the lead for this team is a great thing ...a very good thing!!!!

Now who can combine the two???

Now that rocks!  :bigthumb:

Because of me being the host I'm not going to pick side, or a favorite, don't seem like that would be fair... but I will say that all of the choices so far are really nice and I can't wait to see which one the BC Team picks.  :bigteeth:

This is going to be a tough decision; I like all of them! I'll have to wait until they are all lined up for comparison

All of you have outdone anything I could come up with

Only so much I can do with Irfanview.   :bigteeth:




Note to self.  Must buy some better software. :innocent:

Well I fooled around with that one for a bit but I'm way outclassed and out of my league here so I think I'll just let the pro's have at it.

I might just get myself Adobe though and play with it this winter.   There's just so much to learn.

I tried Gimp, just couldn't get on with it, I like "Adobe Photoshop" plus all the add-ons you can get for it!

Post by: mousie on December 01, 2009, 08:03:14 AM
i like photoshop too, but i don't want to spend hundreds.  there is an add-on to gimp called gimpshop that makes gimp look like photoshop for those that prefer it's interface. :)

Mousy,  thank you for designing the badge no,8 with my drawing.  When I voted for no.8 I didn't know a girl had designed it.  It just looked more like I would have liked the badge to look.  I love everything about the Cancer Research Team and I love all of you for honoring me.  You are all doing a wonderful work, and who could appreciate it more than me, a cancer surviver twice.    Mallie

Hi Mallie  (https://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cosgan.de%2Fimages%2Fsmilie%2Ffroehlich%2Fk015.gif&hash=de41c6023b36835d727f7cb38c745a314f3332d7)


Badge 8 is LoneWolf's work actually - mine is badge 9 (was added a little later, so may not have been there when you voted).

That misinformation was my fault Mousie... sorry for the mistake.
I had thought that number 8 was yours and told Mom that it was. In any case, the #8 is the one she likes.
