New PL Logo

So, how about a contest to see who can improve on the current Photon Lexicon logo on the main welcome page? I figured for starters how about some color:

https://home.comcast.net/~djzurcher/images/pl1.JPG
https://home.comcast.net/~djzurcher/images/pl2.JPG
https://home.comcast.net/~djzurcher/images/pl3.JPG
https://home.comcast.net/~djzurcher/images/pl4.JPG

So what will you win if yours is the best? Absolutely nothing from me! Maybe if yours is the best we could all ask the leader of this forum to post it on the welcome page. Anyway, here is the .ild file that I modified, courtesy of the Admin. Thanks!

Well, I'll put the winning logo on the IldaViewer application I have in this forum. So, if you'd like your artwork to be in a computer program now is your chance.

Good job Dave!

I agree with Cruch - the bottom two are the best. I can't decide if I prefer the blue text with the red outline or the red text with the blue outline. But they sure look great!

What are you talking about? :confused: Are you saying that the image looks like it has flicker, or that you are surprised that there isn't any flicker?

Either way, you really can't tell flicker in a static image. As long as the whole pattern is drawn at least once while the shutter is open you'll see an unbroken line. Since the picture was taken in total darkness the shutter was probably open quite long.

andy con,

I'm not sure that there is a scanner on the planet that can display that frame without flicker and it look the way it does. I can display it without flicker but it looks more like spaghetti! If you look, the frame contains over 3000 points and there are many 90 degree turns which means there are many many anchor points. With a camera though, it looks flicker free!

I kinda liked the yellow one personally, but the red and blue ones are nice. I was hoping to see some other folks be creative with this. The frame was created with a particular font, I can't remember the name of it right now, but with the font installed on your computer its very easy to recreate or change in Pangolin, not sure if other platforms will support the font or not. Anyway, it looks like Carmangary sweetend the deal by offering to put it in his software, so common folks lets see how creative you can get! All I did was just change the color! :p

Ok, I found it, its called Encounter and the file name is encounte.ttf Do a google search and you will find it. Install the font by double clicking on it and wha la, it should show up in pangolin!

Cool, I like that logo, I might have to play around with that in pangolin and make an animation. Already gives me a neat idea for it!

Thanks,

I think a lil clip of the Pangolin scene where they show the laser beam hitting eash scanner and then drawing the logo, except put the PL logo in would be cool... :cool: Would have to look at our "rights" for that show though.

Aaron;

That's a cool animation, no doubt. But it's also Pangolin's animation. Even if the user agreement allowed you to use it freely on another site, it still seems like we'd be ripping off Pangolin. Personally, I'd rather see an original logo. (But that's just me...)

Thanks for the frame idea steve-o. 1st video is the plain frame and the second one is with an abstract. I just had to add an abstract! Too bad my camera doesn't do a good job capturing the abstracts....

Youre very welcome David. I wish I could see it. I'm at work and they've now blocked utube and google vids (too much screwing off on the web lately here)

Nice animations! Yes, they should play just fine on DT40's. Though it does depend on your DAC as to how well they will play and be displayed.
