Watermark

[Dave]

We need a watermark for Up Front Gaming. When the main site is finished this watermark will be seen on all screenshots and other media that's on the site (this will include videos as well thanks to our own flash video player).

What a watermark is:
It is an image that will be shown at the bottom right corner of certain images to make it less appealing for people to want to steal our images.

An example of one can be seen on this image:
http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2006/334/reviews/933689_20061201_screen001.jpg
In this case it is the word "Gamespot" in the bottom right of the picture.

This is what I would like for Up Front Gaming, but as you probably know I am terrible when it comes to making graphics, even ones that should be simple like this. So please could someone have ago at making me a watermark for the new site.

Ideally it will need to say Up Front Gaming (maybe the site URL) and be a blue colour, similar to the colour of this forum, and it needs to be reasonably small, perhaps about 200px by 75px. But I am open to anything really.

Good luck and post any submissions you have here. The winner will receive some points, not decided how much yet, possibly as many as 10,000.

yes the text is slightly transparent, and there is a transparent background aswell. maybe it's a bit big but hey.

calling all that are scott and alex!

[Scott]

Not making it transparent then?


(Or is Dave planning on doing that himself anyway)

[The Stig]

should it be more transparent?

[Scott]

That doesn't look transparent at all to me. Just looks like its shaded grey.

[The Stig]

it's totally white behind so you could only see it on a coloured picture

[Scott]

It can not be transparent at all as it a jpg image. Correct me if i am wrong but jpg images cannot be transparent.

[The Stig]

I wouldn't know

[Alex]

DOnt think any standalone image can be transparent? unless its on top of another pic, watermark style.

[Alex]

Might have to make an image and Dave can add it to the screeny and fiddle with the opacity?

[Dave]

Only PNG images can be transparent.

Don't worry too much about the opacity/transparency as the code I wrote makes the watermark transparent anyway, if that doesn't work I can always sort it out.


BTW I don't really like the font on that one Stig but that's the kind of thing I mean :)
