9 now for Marc (assuming that 1 posted and 8 voted)
However, people seem more obsessed with marketing aspects....

I'm trying to keep people focused.
Some idiots voted down my polite rebuke, so I guess I'll have to get mean.

Yep, it's a pity. Maybe we should look for people willing to PM?

I voted it a 5, and too often when someone gets a 5 initially, people are all the more aggressive to get it voted down.

This is one of the main reasons why projects like this fail, too many people obsessed with the trivia and not enough people interested in doing the real work.

Zebra?
Lion, giraffe, or leopard? Those are all gold.

aardvark or armadillo would be a good choice.

Nice idea. Whatever animal I can get my hands on a good non-copyright photo of would do. (Actually, I have non-copyrighted photos of a number of animals, but I don't have the owners' permission.) What I want to do is do an "oil painting" effect on an animal photo.

etc...

I don't want to stifle innovation, but please, no more new CP2 posts in the forum. I like the enthusiasm, but its not the right time for this yet. Anyway, this is a project specific post that should be discussed by project team members and teams have not been established yet.
I don't want to draw attention away from more pressing matters.
thanks, I'm sure you understand

I could do one in 3D Studio max, what objects should be included, and what color should the background be?

Well, I thought of doing it in 3D Canvas, but since we are wanting an animal picture, I decided not to. But if you think you can do that, or if you have another idea for a logo, go ahead.
What we need most is some animal photos, and some GUI control screenshots. The latter I can't do myself because people expect Windows XP controls and I only have Windows 98.

Nice! Only thing is, it turns out that someone else has that name. I thought about SharpUI, and it hasn't been taken yet. I really don't like UGLY, but if that's what everybody wnats, or that's our only alternative, so be it.

Well I suppose MS call all their projects with pet names like Longhorn, and Chicago, and Purple-Monkey-Dishwasher and stuff, so I suppose we CPians get to have an equally odd ""code"" name. Maybe we can release it under a different title.

That's fine.

Just curious - what do you use for the logos?
I use Zoner Draw. Not the best, but still good. I really like the point-editing stuff.
I'll probably use Zoner Draw until I write my own.

Today I used CorelDraw 8 in conjunction with CorelPhotoPaint. I used mostly gradient fills, drop-shaddows/halos and transparent bitmaps. The little wand rainbow is a really cool tequique. You just draw a shape you want and apply a gradient fill to it. Then export the sharp edged polygon to PhotoPaint and blur off the edges and apply some other dreamy and transparent effects to it, and then copy it back. I havn't heard of ZonerDraw... Most packages can do gradient fills and transparent bitmaps. And you can make your own drop shaddows/halos with more bitmaps, although it takes a bit longer.

Zoner Draw[^] lets you do gradient and bitmap fills, and gradient and bitmap transparency. It lets you start with a rectangle, circle, polygon, or free-hand polygon and edit/add/remove points. Its biggest flaw is that you can't rotate the bitmap fills with the object. They may have fixed that in the newest version, though.

Hmm, I forgot to mention that the really good thing about corel is it's polygon editing interface. I was able to draw that magic wand and the gear and the glowy tail thing (now all blured up) within a few minutes just because Corel really does make it easy to get the shapes where you want them.

I forgot to mention - I use Arcsoft PhotoStudio (both 2.0 and 2000) for the bitmap stuff.
Version 2.0 doesn't do transparency or layers, but 2000 has some problems that weren't in 2.0. For instance, in 2.0, there was a duplicate option, and the crop command made a copy when it cropped. Now, in 2000, there is no duplicate command, and the crop command crops the bitmap without copying it. Also, you're supposed to be able to add to a mask by holding down shift. In 2.0, this works, but in 2000, when you drag to add a mask, you end up moving the old mask.
Those little problems really turn out to be big ones, because I do a lot of masking and cropping. I think I'm going to write to them and mention those problems.

Hello there,
neither Zoner Draw 3 (the free version) nor Zoner Draw 4 (the paid version) includes rotation of bitmap fills along with objects. However, both include an image manager that enables simple edits, including of course rotation. Thus one solution could be to find the rotation angle that suits your needs, then rotate the bitmap, and then apply it as a fill.
(By the way, if anyone reading this has any questions for me, be sure to contact me by e-mail, not this forum, as I picked it up in the weblogs, not as a regular visitor of this site.)
