Tzarcon, that is the most hideously compressed jpeg I have ever laid eyes on.
also, what's going on with that mapping site you were doing? I remember you making a lot of noise about it a while ago but I haven't heard anything since.
damn ur flash was very funny kassinger <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> teh hand was great <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

damn - all the logo's look so AWESOME in here. great job guys - i thought mine looked pretty cool last night until I saw a few of the one's in here...well here's mine anyways - i think it's one of the "uh...nice but no cigar" ones.
Aww, I finished mine along time ago, but I didn't know there was a thread for it. Ah well, serves me right for never visiting the Artwork Forum. <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

Man, look at all the submissions! And they're all great! /me hides and pretends to work on his...
I just love your's SilverFox... <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->
I got a few suggestions for ya, Us3r. First, I think the black background is a little too dull, it looks like you took a screenie from a map but I'd suggest that you find something a little brighter and more vibrant. Also, it kinda seems odd for me to have the level 3 coming up from the ground, maybe flip him over and have him at the top of the screen so he looks like he's swooping at the marine.
Tzar, he obviously didn't. In your image, the marine got blurred when you used that filter, and in Us3r's image the marine isn't blurred. And besides, the marine is taken from one of the first in game shots of the marine, full size only 2 clicks away from the rr.org main page. <a href="http://www.readyroom.org/ns_ingame/HalfL44e_8x6.jpg" target="_blank">Here.</a>
actually greedo, he could of easily just sharpened the image. AND, I had to make the gun smaller, and that marines gun is exactly the same size as mine, unlikely to happen by coincidence...
Not to be stubborn, or anything, but this is a bit serious, so I checked things out a bit more closely, Tzar. I tried sharpening your image. I couldn't find a single possible combination of sharpenings (or anything else, for that matter) that would give a result that looked like the marine in Us3r's logo (which looks exactly like the marine lifted from the screenshot and shrunk).
And while the guns may be of a similar size, the two marines in the picture are not. So yes, it was only a coincidence. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
Anyways, I think Us3r should probably say something about this.
Well, I'll join the fun: (hopes to stop silly fight which Greedo is already correct on)

That's amazing, Comprox.
And you were worried... <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
I don't know who it was that eventually won the readyroom logo competition, but whoever did has some real 1337 skillz.
By far the best of the bunch. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> See? Nice, eh?
Us3r, I'd suggest adding some effects behind the marine, and moving the flier, as suggested. Detail is good, but it looks too spread out in your image. Right now, the colors don't blend very well. Try using adjustment layers to find a similar color scheme between the marine, flier, background... not that it's always a good idea, but I think it could enhance your's.

But, uhm,
how you make flashes anyway? I wanna learn! lol
Click on tutorials and samples after downloading.
Go <a href="http://www.kreation.org" target="_blank">kreate</a>, as Comprox would've said it!
By the way, is there any good reason for not making the rr.org logo a flash movie?
Here is the finished one.
