Just for fun, a quick competition - to coincide with the revamp of Album Club, we will now be using this account - but we need an avatar! Suggestions, please - just for fun and glory - winner to be decided Sunday evening and your name in lights and the satisfaction of knowing it was your suggestion! :)

Excellent suggestions Barry and David - only problem with the pipe man is that it would need to be shrunk to a maximum of 200 pixels, and I'm not sure how easy it would be or if it would lose something in the translation that small - but fabulous nonetheless, and I can see him being useful in the future if nothing else! :eyebrows:

How about this:

I can change the label colour and text and I'm sure somebody can mask out the white background.

Lee - any chance you could shrink it to 200 pixels and we can see how it will look at the maximum Avatar size?

200 x 200? Yep, I'll have a go later tonight or tomorrow. It might not come out that good cos although the record is large, the label is pretty small.

Maybe it could be cropped in some way?

I kinda like these two:

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/--3CLsj3xX5w/URVWMJmALEI/AAAAAAAAAZI/Lqk078Hs4wk/s200/vrg332.jpg

Sorry, I can't get the text to look any sharper.

Great work, Lee. The final version in yellow is the one for me.
Alex_UK
11-02-2013, 21:35
Well, I think we're all agreed the last yellow version is almost the winner - we'd prefer the "non-reloaded" version...

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-X1gu24HLBeg/URVWLcHWjwI/AAAAAAAAAZA/rUbBt90TJro/s200/vrg331.jpg

But in yellow - sorry to be picky Lee - if it isn't too much work to do? And many thanks and congratulations on your efforts. :)

Side one is mono.

Actually, has that ever happened?

Think I prefer the mono, Lee. A tad sharper with a bit more depth. More holographic imagery.
