We have a problem here. I've run out of room on the OP. Either I'm going to have to stop updating it or I'll have to start taking down the art of lesser quality and replacing it with the better quality art. That would be somewhat rude, though.

Hmm, maybe I can continue the list in my next available post on the front page.
You just made the top post in page 7, you can continue there, and add a link to the OP that takes us to this page.

I was just going over the Mind The Gap wallpaper, and I noticed some Arabic-esque symbols near the top right corner of the Superintendent logo, and also near the bottom right corner of the wallpaper. Does anyone ave any idea what they mean.

Please inform me if this has been posted.

Also, I realize this thread is not aimed at any Superintendent discussion, but I lost the thread I was intending to post in.

The Bungie Wallpapers that you listed at the bottom of your post, I was just wondering if you could at all format them into a 1280 x 1024 resolution, however change it without major distortion.

Hiya, would you mind posting a picture of the shy guy in resolution 1162 by 864? It'd be pretty sweet.
Should I add text to it or leave it as is? Not sure if Shy SI would even say anything.

This is a great thread and all, and I'd hate to be a party-pooper, but I seriously think you should remove the picture of "Olympic SI", because you can get in some serious trouble if the IOC sees it.

Question for you guys. I'm resizing the Bungie wallpapers for everyone's convenience and there's two ways I can do it for the lower resolutions.

I can either
A.) Scale the image down appropriately and then crop it to best to conserve the text and the entirety of the image like this which causes the SI to be off-center which isn't necessarily bad.

or I can
B.) crop the image directly without scaling it down at all like this which causes most of the rest of the image such as the text to be lost, but keeps the SI large and in the center.

Which do you guys think is better?

Lower, wide-screen monitors don't need the wallpapers to be resized before of how it just scales the image down for the user, without making it pixely.

Although fullscreen members would definitely need help, that is if they don't care for having the widescreen wallpaper with black bars on the top and bottom.

Once again, since you obviously blew off what I said.
From WikiPedia:

The Olympic Movement is very protective of its symbols; among other things, it claims an exclusive copyright on any arrangement of five rings, irrespective of alignment, color or lack thereof, as well as to any use of the word Olympic. They have taken action against numerous groups seen to have violated this trademark, including the Minneapolis, Minnesota-based band The Hopefuls (formerly The Olympic Hopefuls), Awana Clubs International, a Christian youth ministry who used the term for its competitive games, and Wizards of the Coast, publisher at the time of the IOC's complaint of the card game Legend of the Five Rings and others.

Ah, sorry mate, I just completely forgot as I had read the post, but then got sidetracked. I suppose I'll take it off the OP, but I feel bad for the guy who posted it.


And as for the reformatting wallpapers, I know, I'm not going to do it for wide screen monitors with the same aspect ratio as the original image, but I'm going to fix it up for users with say 1280x1024 to 1024x768. So which option would you say is better in their case, A or B?

That's because the IOC won't give two -blams!- about someone who's NOT part of something larger and more public like The Hopefuls, or Wizards of the Coast, using their symbol.

The olympic symbol cannot be used for COMMERCIAL purposes, understand? It'd be downright stupid for them to go after every single person who's used their logo, for commercial purposes or not.

I couldn't tell ya, I don't have that problem. Hopefully someone who does need reformatting will post and let you know.

Dude. They made someone take down a video they made in RCT3 because they made the rings out of rollercoaster loops.

There's no -blam!- around here.

So the worst thing that can happen is they'll ask the author of the SI image to take it down. Chillax already.

  • 07.16.2008 8:50 PM PDT

They'll sue him. Or even worse. Bungie.

Yeah, I suppose I'll go ahead and do option A as I think it's better, I could always do option B if someone specifically requested it. It's just a pain to do both options for all of the res's and all of the wallpapers.

Edit: wow it's amazing how often I get top of the page in this thread, I don't even mean to.
