Browsers simply drop pixels, so resizing a small amount in a browser gives a coarse looking image.<br /> <br /> Plus it would be a bit crisper as a GIF.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.redtengu.com/images/raw/a_on_e.gif" /><hr /><a name="a4160_21"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4160.21">#21</a>]<br /> 25 Jun 2006<br /><b>To: Carl (CSEWELL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4160.19">#19</a>] 25 Jun 2006</p> <p>If you guys keep this up, I'll have to post my new logo. I switched to it just before we had a winner in the EE logo contest. It is very similar. It is really too similar to the EE logo and would cause confusion.</p> <p>[Yes I received permission to use it by it's creator because it is a derivative work.]</p> <hr /><a name="a4160_22"></a><p><b>From: Carl (CSEWELL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4160.22">#22</a>]<br /> 25 Jun 2006<br /><b>To: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4160.21">#21</a>] 26 Jun 2006</p> Oh, I thought you were going to say that it looks too much like a commercial work, like A1 (Aone), the steak sauce!! ;^) <hr /><a name="a4160_23"></a><p><b>From: Carl (CSEWELL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4160.23">#23</a>]<br /> 25 Jun 2006<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4160.17">#17</a>] 25 Jun 2006</p> <a href="http://www.guntersvillelaser.com/"><img src="http://www.guntersvillelaser.com/GLE-small.gif" border="0" align="right" /></a>Okay, since Harvey yelled at me (offline and nicely), I reluctantly restored the logo in my signature, this time according to the RULES. As you can see, I really didn't need the extra 7 pixels anyway. I even shortened the stack on my signature so it is even less obtrusive. We shouldn't be too free with those electrons! Pretty soon they'll be up to a nano-penny apiece.<br /> <br /> The rules also state that you can include text so long as it is not a book. Are books okay for the images, just not for the text?<br /> <br /> How about how I have my logo in this post (top-right corner)? It takes up virtually no EXTRA vertical space, although it does create more line(s) of text due to word wrap. Would this be acceptable for people with tall graphics that they want included in their posts as signatures? <hr /><a name="a4160_24"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4160.24">#24</a>]<br /> 26 Jun 2006<br /><b>To: Carl (CSEWELL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4160.23">#23</a>] 26 Jun 2006</p> <p>Carl,</p> <p>I like the size and orientation of your new signature.</p> <p>I prefer all signatures at the bottom of the post window. If a little more height is necessary, in order for the more vertical images to be legible, I'm all for it, as long as it's not a "sore thumb" although an image of a sore thumb, or book will be allowed. <span class="e_smile" title=":-)"><span class="e__">:-)</span> </span></p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 26 Jun 2006 by DGL</p> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages:  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4160.0">1-19</a>  20-24</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
