[WANTED] New forum Banners

[autodidactus]

well i'm pretty sure space images are allowed be used under creative commons. so you're allowed to remix it and things of that nature.

i'm gonna post it just for the hell of it, if that's not alright you can just remove it from my post

i also made a wallpaper version if anyone wants to use it

edit: yea so i just looked up the image i used and it's allowed to be used under creative commons as long as credit is given

this is the image i used.

http://www.eso.org/public/outreach/copyright.html

Q: I would like to digitally alter or manipulate an image. Is this OK?
A: Yes.

up to your discretion trav

Ah so your right. that's interested because on youtube say, people aren't allowed to upload videos they don't own, so they get taken down, so people legally get round that by changing the sound in someway to avoid it. That's what I thought you could do with images, just changing them enough to defy them as a different image. Changing even one pixel technically makes it a different image.. Anyhow, better to avoid any issues with just not using copyrighted.

I guess that changing the sound and the video a bit will result in bypassing Youtube's automatic copyright material detection system.

So I think it's only a bypass of an automatic system and not a bypass of the law.


Kind regards,

Hahaha.. Okay, thanks. Didn't know that. They seriously have something like that? I wonder how that works. I just thought people flagged videos.

I do think it's interesting though how something like pictures can be copyrighted. I get it from a moral perspective, but it's just pixels/light.. Nobody owns that. The creator doesn't own that, that person is technically just manipulating or copying too. They copy an image when taking a picture, and even when they create something digitally they are just taking light and manipulating it. Know what I mean? Although yeah okay, I wouldnt like someone taking my work, unless they made it clear it wasn't there's..

Just a thought..

I like jslattum's the most so far. Here is mine

Wow, what a nice banner, Smerrel -
I would love to see it merged with the one from deadlaloops -

Please let us sit together and discuss which elements of those banners would be worth bringing together.
Maybe we can create the ultimate banner out of this wide variety

 

[Smerrel]

thanks yeah, some collaboration is always nice

 

[Enoon]

[Bill Cipher]

Me too. Big props for all the hard work. There's some really cool looking stuff here.

I like alot of them..so far i would vote for a bunch of them that look like hyperspace..the one with the tree guy meditating is cool but for some reason I dont like it as a nexus banner..I like the hyperspacy ones and that newest one alot.

 

[jamie]

I like the one at the top of this page with the molecules in space alot as well.

 

[daedaloops]

Holy sweetness thats awesome Smerrel, and it fits perfectly with the forum color theme.

Also trav, I uploaded a higher resolution one which hopefully won't look as horribly compressed as the current one.

 

[Smerrel]

superfun ^^

 

[universecannon]

awesome update autodidactus!

 

[endlessness]

Many great ones! My fav so far I think is this

Here is mine

I also like jslattum's banner a lot but it needs the Nexus font, could you add that please?

daedaloops, VERY dmt-like, I would like to see more work from you

And everybody else, good stuff, keep up the good work!

 

[Dante]

Smerrel, I think yours could be the one! It's simple and effective. Well done

I really like daedaloops's as well, but I think the colors don't fit.

Keep posting guys, I can't get enough!

 

[obliguhl]

I like jslattum's the most so far. Here is mine

Wow...my new favourite.

 

[Wax]

Here's my revised version, I tried to make it a little easier to look at.

 

[jslattum]

What font are you guys using? I'd like to swap it out on the banner I made and give it a go.

 

[Smerrel]
