Is it me or is it kind of sad that we seem to enter an era of non-descriptive platform names?

Like, what is a Mastodon? Twitter was a cool name. Tweets on Twitter, that just sounded right. It's definitely not the name that caused the platforms downfall... Facebook, MySpace, Reddit, Snpachat, Tumblr, Twitter, Youtube - I like creative but descriptive names for platforms. Now we have Tiktok, Mastodon, Lemmy and stuff like that. Meh.

Yeah I am a bit infamous in various groups I am involved with for always using tools for stuff they are not meant to be used for. When I get used to a tool and I am like "I can make something with this that is enough for what I need" it often wins over "there is a better tool for this task that I don't know though I would need to spend time learning first"

I might need to take a look at programs for vector images though. Really frustrating when you try to move something around (like the little rectangles I made the zipper of) and they just turn into pixel mush.

I might have something there, which I built for myself years ago when I wanted to start a gaming youtube channel (still want to do it, but it's always "next big game release I start" lmao)

And I am quite proud of this one, might well for a gaming focused instance:
either this one

or this one

I have the psd (photoshop files) for these here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yBxVpure_bwY32FwnCyDuZa6ynxgoCJ1?usp=sharing so one could rather easily replace a game with another (or whatever you want to have shown on the puzzle tiles)

Could you make a version of the second one with the ears and the whiskers behind the head?

Man those ones are awesome!

Second one is my favorite, it comes closest to my idea that the left eye is the zipper thingy.

I guess you are right

I definitely started to small with the image, that's why it's so blurry. Anyway, last "improvement":

The problem is that I am really bad at "graphics design" lol. I doubt that Photoshop is really meant to make stuff like this. Someone would probably have to recreate for it to look good. I tried my best to do it in Photoshop but it is still meh:

Of course :) Like I said its a bit rough but maybe that's not even visible at that size.

[–] JohnnyLX91 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Or maybe even something like this?
