Title: Sprite Jam Dec 19-27 ´03: Windows style Icons
Post by: Nacho on Sat 20/12/2003 09:04:56
Sometimes I´m still amazed by the little icons of windows, they´re so cute, so small,and they use the "pixel gradient" that I love so much in a so lovely way...  ^_^

Here are some examples of what I am talking about.

You´ll have to imagine a new icon for some new program, and draw it. Be as humouristic as you can, so my recommendation is to say in who´s desktop we could find that program.

Example:

The George Bush desktop icon to acced to the U.S. Nuclear launching program.

Restrictions: 80x80, use my "windows green" as the colour for the background, the Icon must have the letters and the arrow of a direct access. Of course, don´t cut and paste any other elements than the letters and the arrows.

"Realism" in the painting of the sprites will be appreciated, but be as crazier as you can imagining the programs!

Wohoo!  think today is the day... It´s been difficult to decide, all the entries have been funny, so I decided to follow to the rule of making a windows style icon as reliable as possible.

The winner is: Kaaz!

Sorry Boyd... You´ve been very close, but I´ve met you personally at AGS and if I decided you to win it would have been "suspectous"... ;)

YAAY! ow btw AGA...that 1337speak translator thingy does the opposite thing as my elitespeak thing...ofcourse I was aware of the fact of that there is a program like 1337speak translators that's why I decided to make fun of it by making this icon ;))

Now do I start the new spritejam comp ?

Cheers!
