[Scummvm-devel] ScummVM Icon

[Max Horn]

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
