I was talking to Mac_System (doing an audio player using lwjgl-fmod) and he mentioned that he might look into doing a "powered by lwjgl" type of icon. We like this idea so much that we think we should have a small contest to make the best lwjgl icon.
The icon could say:
- Powered by LWJGL
- LWJGL Powered
- Using LWJGL
or just simply 'LWJGL' - Thats up to you.
The size of the icon should be similar to the OpenAL/OpenGL/java.net/SourceForge icons in the bottom left of the lwjgl.org site. That is around 90x50 pixels. It may also be in other sizes, however it should scale properly to the mentioned size, so we can put it on the site.
Once we have received a fair amount of contributions we will organize a poll, where you have to vote on the best icon.
All submissions should be sent to the following address: info@lwjgl.org
If you have any questions, please post them in this thread.
Can Chaz enter :)?
Cas :)
sure - everybody can enter :)
Does LWJGL have an official logo ? Or is it just a plain text logo like the one on the main page ?
Chman
No official logo - if someone comes up with a neat logo too - that'd be cool!
I think this is a good idea. I'm almost to the point where I want a "powered by" type of logo for my game engine. :) (too bad I'm not an artist :roll: )
Thats gonna be fun, can't wait to begin ... 8)
If someone (matzon?) would like to login to JGF and post this as a newsitem then I'll approve it and it should appear on the front page when the site goes live next week...
...um, and if ther's anything broken with news submission I'd really like to know NOW before we go live :)
For some reason I can't see JGO... just times out waiting for a response from the server. But Matzon can see it fine.
Cas :)
You mean JGF? :).
Damn. Could you try doing the usual (traceroute if the host is found, dig if not)? It's loading fine for me, and I configured the DNS server myself so - in theory - it ought not to have any problems (I've been doing this stuff for > 6 years so I would hope I knew what I was doing by now...)
Anyway, Matzon's submission went through fine, and it's now on the news page of the preview site.
Now, just need to do something to fix the butt-ugliness of the news CSS...
Pings fine to 213.88.244.247. Site still does nothing.

Probably caused by that weirdo Opera browser Cas is using. Oddlabs.com rendered a blank screen on it the first time we showed it to him. Can't remember what caused it though.

FYI: it's an evil evil evil scum-of-the-earth "popup ad and offensive site blocker" he has installed.
Consign them all to hell!
(the same people who allegedly blocked a site because it had an image whose filename started with the letters A and D and a hyphen. Oh how mind-numbingly stupid can you get?)
</rant>
So where is that "powered by LWJGL" logo!?! I want... :)
None decided yet. Waiting for more entries - only gotten 3-4 :/
:D
LOL
come on guys, enter already.
How about this?

YOU STOLE MY IDEA! :)
Hi :)
well, whats the status about the Logo Competition ?
Stay Tuned,
Jens
That's what I want to know :).
We're about to close it. Judging by the number of submissions, I don't think any more will be submitted. By the end of this month, we'll do a poll, and you all get to decide the new logo.
Do you have enough submissions? I could talk to my graphic design friend and see if he'd be willing to do something as well if it's still needed.
We can always do with more logo submissions!
