Fan-Created Avatars and User Themes
Bungie Community,
Some time ago, the call was issued to provide us with graphics that we could use to dress up the forum. A lot has changed since then. Fashions have changed. Haircuts have changed. The games we support have changed. The steward of this rambunctious community (that would be me) has changed. Now that you magnificent geeks are under new management (that would be mine), I am locking the old thread and revitalizing this initiative right here. The bad news is that your old submissions will not be scrutinized. The good news is that I will personally scrutinize your new submissions myself.
You are welcome to unleash your creativity on Avatars and User Themes that will help the users of Bungie.net express themselves. We are looking for concepts that are Bungie-specific. We are not looking for iconography from the Halo universe. This website is home to Bungie fans now. We invite you to create assets that they can fly on their profiles.
[u]Guidelines[/u]:
-All files must be .GIF or .JPG.
-Portable Network Graphics (PNG) will not be accepted.
-Avatars must be 90 pixels square and less than 30k.
-User Themes must be 902 pixels wide, 260 pixels high, and less than 150k.
This invitation extends to Avatars and User Themes only. We are not accepting new Private Group Themes at this time. Please share your submissions with us by hosting them externally and linking to them in a response to this topic. And, please limit your discussion to the delivery of creative assets.
To the drawing board!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Tycho_005917 Designing avatars that are focused around Halo is understandably not encouraged. But would you be willing to accept avatars that involve other Bungie games? Or should we simply stick to Bungie itself?[/quote] I think other Bungie games have been what everyone is doing. A lot of people are doing Destiny.

In the event anyone needs an image manipulation program, you can use [url=http://www.gimp.org/]GIMP[/url]. It's free and open-source.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sonic343 So, how are avatars actually submitted? Do we just post them here and hope for the best?[/quote] Yes, of for now I believe. I think DeeJ will be just looking over on all of the different submissions and he'll save the ones he likes. I'm sure sending him a PM with a link to your avatar is totally fine with him too, although he might not see it if you send it through PM. [b]Edit:[/b] I'm going to start contributing to post feedback/responses in this thread as well as create some avatars. I took the picture from the front page "Happy Holidays" and I took that Destiny logo and made it into a avatar 90x90 [Edited on 01.16.2012 8:19 PM PST]

Stopped being lazy and remade my avatar: [url=http://sonic343.deviantart.com/art/Destiny-Metal-2-279252175]Clicky[/url]. Played around with the layer effects and ended up with this. I think it looks awesome, but that's probably only because I made it. [url=http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w156/Sonic343/test.jpg]Preview of avatar[/url]. [Edited on 01.13.2012 6:51 PM PST]

I can't miss this, consider this spot reserved. Time to put my creativity to the test! [quote][i]Ninja edit: Why reserve a spot? If you were tasked with browsing this thread surely you would read it from the point you last read up to, rather than the beginning? Everything beforehand would already have been evaluated and possibly shortlisted. You have no way of telling what has already been looked at, you also have DeeJ's assurances that everything will be looked at. Why run the risk of having your submissions overlooked? Don't reserve posts. It is stupid.[/i][/quote] [Edited on 01.13.2012 5:24 PM PST by Tom T]

Are you trying to revive the forums on this website?

I present to you, [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37319607/Septagon.jpg]the new best avatar[/url]! It fits every requirement. It is Bungie-themed, is less than 30kb, is in JPG format, and is 90x90. Thank you, thank you very much. [Edited on 01.13.2012 3:29 PM PST]

So, for the moment, this is the only way to get our avatars accepted correct? That old email from the last thread is moot right?
