Oh. Guess I can't really do that with mine, but that's neat.

Oh, shoot I already forgot to do this! Why am I so terrible - testing it now

Post by **Entity** » July 9th, 2014, 9:23 am

That looks pretty good :9

Since I only really got one reply, I'm gonna bring this back to attention
(also phantom, I preferred your avatar with the blue background more)

Anyway, since this Kup Teraz thing won't last forever, do I either use...

Or one of these variations of my logo:

Yeah, I think my main issue is my little icon itself is really dark, so having it on a dark blue background is a bit hard to see.

Oh, I do quite like to first image of Flynn. Sometimes, however pencil lines become a bit difficult to make out at smaller resolutions - but I quite like that one. I also miss your street-lamp icon you used early last year, I believe.

I think this one is my favorite of the ones you posted above.

I agree with phantom about the street light one

Edit: NVM, I added a glow effect. I think it looks better that way.

Maybe change the color of the EY. Looks kinda weird imo with it being black. Either that or add some sort of outline to it...

I'm considering jumping on the transparent avatars bandwagon, but I haven't done it yet because I'm lazy lol

Thank you kindly, sir

Now the two of us match! I believe I will leave it this way for at least a little bit.

Haha! Yeah, I just copied the colors from my image (since they fit the color scheme) but just use whatever.

EDIT: Also I haven't tried this, but you may be able to just set your avatar to a transparent PNG and you won't have to bother with the background? Just a thought, it might convert it to a jpeg.

EDIT 2:

Thanks Entity. I'll probably keep this avatar for a couple of weeks or so.

Mind explaining how exactly it looks weird? I think black's the only color that would really work tbh...

Like, if you look on your signature, you can barely see what's written.

ElectroYoshi · Post by **ElectroYoshi** » July 11th, 2014, 12:09 pm

Oh yeah. I definitely think this looks a little better.

Like it?

Post by **Phantomboy** » July 14th, 2014, 10:26 am

That's pretty neat! It's a shame you can't see all the buttons and stuff when it is smaller on a forum page - but I up close it looks quite nice

This pertains more to Atmosphir avatars than forum avatars, but I thought it was worth asking.

As you may or may not have noticed, every time I upload a level, I change my 16-bit Yoshi avatar accordingly:

Anyone have any ideas for how I can make these a tad less homogeneous?

Also, which is the best of the three?
