Wolfie Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 The new IPS staff avatars look rather nice. Also looks nice on Alex (albeit green because he's a community developer). Any chance of a GDK/PSD being released for those who want to have similar avatar styles for different boards? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Brian made them? That explains why they're so ugly... :whistle: We customers should be able to get red-colored ones. ;oJust kidding. Honestly, they're a lot better than the old ones, imo. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'd say that since our forum rules forbids you from using an avatar that is similar in appearance to a staff avatar (to help avoid any confusion for newer members) it's probably counter-productive to the rules to release a GDK if you ask me.

Wolfie Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm more interested in the general design. Keep the logo out of it. It's not the logo that would be of use anyway. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Garcia Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Maybe I will come up with completely new ones when I have some free time :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 The new IPS avatar (minus the IPS logo of course) would totally rock. I mean as far as the rule against using avatars with the IPS logo, if someone was really out to do it, they could easily do it (not that it makes it okay or anything). Just I like the overall look. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Calypso- Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 It's the staff's thing, let them keep them. It looks good and should be exclusive at least here at IPSF, do what you want at you own board. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management Matt Posted August 18, 2009 Management Share Posted August 18, 2009 As Brandon noted, we will remove anyone's avatar if we feel they are trying to mimic staff. That's not because we're incredibly mean and selfish it's just that it gets confusing for others if at first glance you look like staff. If Brian doesn't have the time to create and release a generic logo free version then that should be respected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieTang Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I've always thought that the staff avatars make you all look like a bunch of robots. :P And I think it's really confusing when you all have the same avatars, I mean I can't tell any of you apart until I read your avatars, and reading avatars is really boring. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mld11 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 :o, they do look ever so sexy... lol I hope Brian releases a GDK / PSD for it (without the IPS logo). It will kick ass! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
