Art For The Forum.... Literally.

So some of you may have noticed these rather boring looking things next to the posts on the forum.



I'm looking to replace them with something else.

Obviously they must be .gif. They must convey the same information as above and hopefully, they must be a bit more stylish... and in keeping with the forum/site theme without being obtrusive.

Also keep in mind that although the image above shows four different images there are actually six:

Normal Topic
Hot Topic (More than 15 replies)
Very Hot Topic (More than 25 replies)
Normal topic you have posted in
Hot Topic you have posted in (More than 15 replies)
Very Hot Topic you have posted in (More than 25 replies)

The images are all pretty small like this:



So you should endeavor to keep them at the same size.

First person to come up with something usable wins my gratitude... yes that's worth exactly what it sounds like it's worth. Still... wouldn't it be nice to help a brotha out?

Ok I'm not your brother or a brother but it would still be nice if you helped out the site. So if you have the time, art chops and an idea for the images please contribute.

Thanks.  ;)

I think a little speech bubble would be a good choice for those icons. Maybe with a flame in it for 'Hot topics' or something.

I was thinking of a ! in Hot topics and !!! for Very Hot topics.

I'm willing to entertain all ideas. But ideas I have. It is art that I need.  ;)

I sent an attempt to your listed address. Too lazy to upload everything to imageshack and link here >>

Please don't feed the ancient deities.

Nuke I got them and they look great. I'm forwarding them on to Chadm1n. Expect to see them on the forum in the near future.

It's funny but it looks like you took both rearea and Gabor's ideas and combined them. Good job.  ;)

Thanks guys.

Not a coincidence =P I looked at those posts and went 'Yeah that'd make a great system' and threw it together over about five minutes XD

CTRL + F5 for those of you who have stubborn browsers to see Nukes excellent new images for the forum...

the place feels just a little bit more like home now.
;D

Thanks Chadm1n, Nuke for the hard work and rearea and Gabor for the inspiration.
