Dear Jean Marc,
I am contacting you because you are the creator of the current
ScummVM logo. That logo has been a big success, and people (including
me) really like it a lot. Our site favicon is based on it -- and now
we also switched our application icon to the "S" from your logo.
However, this has been limited in quality and size, since so far we
only had a pixel version of the icon. See here for the .png/.ico/.psd
files we've been using: <http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/
scummvm/web/trunk/images/save/>.
For this reason, there have been some efforts to make a vector (SVG)
version of the logo (you can find it in the same location). Some
discussion on this subject can be read on our forum: <http://
forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=937>.
The reason for my mail now is two fold: First off, I wanted to let
you know about this use of your work! Secondly, I was wondering if
you are interested in helping out with this one. Maybe you have a
higher res version of the "S", maybe you are even interested in
working on a vectorized version of the icon (or even the whole logo).
I understand that doing that properly using vector graphics is a non-
trivial task, but I also know it's possible to do a lot of amazing
things with vector graphics (based on my experience with vector art
which way predates SVG or XML, for that matter :-). For now, we have
a SVG version of the icon, but it still isn't (IMHO) as good as your
hand crafted pixel version. So, my reasoning, why not ask the skilled
artist before asking other people... :-)
Best wishes,
Max
