Custom and unique avatars for TBE members

[ses5909]

I've got some special customized avatars just for our members. You can add them now if you want by editing your avatar (http://www.theblogexperiment.com/blog-forum/profile.php?do=editavatar).

Here is what they look like:

Well done. Did you do them yourself? I'm in serious need of a real artist.

Oh no, I can't take credit for these beauties! Lee from My Dog Friday Designs (http://mydogfriday.com/) did the logo, the avatars and some of the new icons and buttons you see here. She does great work. Shoot me a message if you would like her email!

Those are some really cool avatars, Lee is indeed a good designer.

You ROCK! Now if you can just get rid of the background and the border...

On second thought, don't worry about it. This image as it is has a character all it's own.

[LiquidReflex]

No prob. ;)

I just gave it a transparent background on white (didn't notice the slight different color bg on the side). I added the border since the others had one, and also since I cropped it a bit, I thought it would be weird to have it just end without some sort of "enclosure" ... but I'm anal like that I guess. :D

[goldfries]

LOL. nice icons, but you're making the site look like a CHEMISTRY forum! :D

[ses5909]

Trying to brand it a little bit and have it be more fun. With blogging, it's kind of limited so I tried to think of something I could do to make it stand out from the other blogging communities. That is at least what I'm trying to do.

[GnomeyNewt]

I love the logo and the avatars. I'm basis though because my website has a similar bottle for it's favicon. Atm I can't do a personal avatar though, do I need x amount of posts first?

[Dan Schulz]

I think its 20 or 25, I can't remember. At any rate though, you're almost there!

[ses5909]

Yep, the magic number is 20! Almost :D

[GnomeyNewt]

I'm reaching for it! I'm almost there.

[Dan Schulz]

Just a slight avatar change. I decided that to better fit the forum theme, a mad scientist was in order. Hopefully he's not too mad for you all. :p

[kingjacob]

I love the branding you did, it makes the forum not just another webmaster forum.

[ses5909]

Thanks Jacob. I definitely didn't want another forum. I wanted to stick out from the crowd and hopefully I am setting the stage for that. Time will tell!

[malique]

any plans on TBE swag? :D

[ses5909]

any plans on TBE swag? :D

Yes definitely. I just need to some how recoup some of the money I've invested so far so I can reinvest it into the site. Unfortunately I don't have an investor behind this so everything is coming out of my pockets. There is a cool feature that should be rolled out after the weekend. I'm saying that here because I want to make sure I get it done.

Anything in particular you are looking for?

[malique]

umm...tees? and desk toys! :D

[Sagewing]

Ok, I'm an idiot - I want to upload my own avatar and I can't figure out how!! Help? :)

[ses5909]

@sagewing - You need 20 posts and then you will be able to :)

[Sagewing]

Ah, thanks..

[Sagewing]

Seriously, thanks for that advice!

[ses5909]

I've got your number ;)

You're almost there!!

[Sagewing]

Thanks, again! (heh ok just kidding)
