Howdy! Once we launch the voting for the ‘Best of Blender Artists 2023’ around December 24, I’d like to give it some extra visibility by publishing a large site header, but I need some help to prepare a graphic for it.
If you’d like to contribute, please post a 2156x400px graphic with the following elements;
Mentions ‘Best of Blender Artists 2023 Voting’ in our regular font (Arial-bold)
If we end up choosing your design, we’ll make sure to credit you in the announcement. If we do, we’ll also ask for the original Gimp (preferred) or Photoshop file so we can create the winners announcement graphic ourselves.
The ba logo’s currently showing Ukraine colors – that too, or do you want standard color? If you want standard color for the banner, would you please add a ba logo graphic to the topic? I can’t find one. And you’ve got 2022 in a spot you meant to say 2023 above, “Mentions ‘Best of Blender Artists 2022 Voting’ in our regular font (Arial-bold)”.
Edited again to add: you want animation this year?
Used Blender and Inkscape for graphic resources creation, GIMP for everything else (including text), files available on request.
Edited to add: New and Improved! Replaced original submissions above with versions using @joseph ’s baLogo resources, replaced render of the Blender Community Badge with snazzier caustics, and reworked the composition because the old one wasn’t working like I intended. Since Bart seems to have answered every question in the topic except mine about which version of the baLogo he wants (UkraineSupport or standard orange), so I’ve again made both versions.
WARNING: this artistic (or “artistic”) rendering of the Blender Community Badge gratuitously violates the Blender Foundation’sUsage Guidelines.
Edited yet again because I managed to flip the UkraineSupport colors in the ba logo in the UkraineSupport version.
Harabara Mais by André Harabara freemium found over on dafont dot com …
For the larger letter shapes … ba … rendered at about 172pt
For the smaller letter shapes … blenderartists dot org … rendered at about 110pt
Bitstream Vera Sans by The Gnome Project freemium found over on dafont dot com …
For the smaller smaller letter shapes … Home of the Blender Community … render at about 26pt
…
I recreated the entire ba logo and tagline … as a typophile geek and former mod over on the amazing but defunct typophile dot com I solemnly almost almost swear that the above freemium fonts are what was used to render ba blenderartist . org, and, Home of the Blender Community.
Yeppers! If you throw the original over this image the only mildly diffs are the g and the overall plumpness / scale of the original massaged(?!) letter shapes of ba , and, blenderartists . org
That’s odd – neither of the SVGs you posted seem to be downloadable. I can see them, but neither clicking nor right-clicking on them gives a usable option. Got the PNG, thx, but if you could provide an alternate download link for the SVG I’d appreciate it.
And you’ve got 2022 in a spot you meant to say 2023 above, “Mentions ‘Best of Blender Artists 2022 Voting’ in our regular font (Arial-bold)”.
yes the “sources” (SVG) for the logo… i even posted a reply here…
