Well, I use PowerPoint for such purposes but don't tell anybody. Maybe a PhotoX guru can hopefully take from there - the idea (i.e. >your< coin idea, which I find brilliant!) I mean. Nobody with such skills will ever touch a PowerPoint document for sure ... Best Thorsten Quote
Toastie Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) THIS IS JUST A TRY! Could that be a start? Please take intoconsideration that a) I am color-blind b) I used PowerPoint with the color picker thingy to get anywhere close to the colors of the coin that I copied from here (so this needs permission): www.brickowl.com/catalog/lego-coin-with-stylized-10. The font I used is freeware (Kansas City Gothic) (For some reason the link does not produce an image here - it's a png - it points to our universities cloud server) Ha! fixed it ...

Best Thorsten Sorry for the delayed response. It looks ok to me, but we need a mod to approve it and make sure it meets the required file sizes etc. Thanks for your efforts Toastie. Quote

Toastie Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Uhmmm - I guess, you EB moderators folks don't like this proposal. I am flagging @Mister Phes and @Jim directly (sorry!) Is there anything other you have in mind? I really, really like the idea of giving credit to the 10k folks - particularly to those who were not selected, but maybe TLG used their Ideas in some way or the other? Just let me know and I will be over it again. Best Thorsten Quote

Actually, we're just busy... we get dozens of notifications and messages each day so we can't follow everything all the time. The concept isn't bad but your graphic will need to be reduced to the average tag size and in doing so the legibility of the text is lost. So the colours will require adjustment and I suggest making the background transparent as that will allow the coin to be larger. Quote

Oh I can imagine that - sorry for pushing. How is this one (50x50 pixels, GIF with transparent bkg) - it looks crappy but OKish when resized Best Thorsten Quote

This is what I see in the topic: And when I attempt to access the file on the server, I get asked for a username and password.

We do indeed have success! But is there any particular reason you've made this a GIF? A PNG would result in a smoother edge. I'd also give it a polish... Quote

Oh yes: Because I am THE graphics guru As a '62 Model, I thought the only graphics format that can do the transparent background was GIF. I believe it was like that couple of decades ago, wasn't it? Well - I stand correct. Your version is >perfect< Thank you very much!!! All the best Thorsten Quote

Up close it's no problem, but sitting back in my chair I can't read the "10" clearly. Before deploying this tag I'd like some more opinions, particularly from staff. Quote
