Hello friends,
A couple of days ago I made a post requesting some artistically advanced dotTechies to help me out with a few logos/buttons I needed designed for dotTech. Since then I have deleted that post because so many people have offered to create the logos/buttons and since I can only pick one, I don’t want a lot of people spending their time for no fruit if you get what I mean.
The logos/buttons have been designed, created, and in fact already implemented as most of you may have noticed. Before I spill the beans further, however, I would like to thank Liam, Steve, Dae, and everyone else (who’s name I may have forgot to mention) that offered to and/or worked on a logo/button for dotTech. Thank you all so much for being willing to help out!
That being said, I would like to thank Tejas for creating the new (awesome) dotTech logos/buttons. These new logos/buttons now define dotTech’s new “rating” system as follows (listed in the order of worst to best rating):
- If the software/website/product being reviewed is rated to be below par and not worth purchasing/downloading/using, it will be stamped with this:
- If the software/website/product being reviewed meets the bar (i.e. is “good”) and is worth purchasing/downloading/using, it will be stamped with this:
Take note while the software/website/product has been rated to be “good”, if it does not say “recommended” that means I feel there is a better software/website/product out there which you can grab.
- If the software/website/product being reviewed is excellent in almost all areas and there is no other software/website/product which can effectively perform better than the one in question, the software/website/product will be stamped with:
Any software/website/product with the “recommended” stamp is recommended by dotTech.
- There may be multiple recommended software/website/product that perform similar jobs. The new “favorite” stamp…
…is meant to to show the best of the best. More often than not, a software/website/product with this stamp is being used by me hence it being a dotTech “favorite”.
If you are the developer/owner of the software/website/product I reviewed, feel free to post any of the above stamps on your website to show people because we all know a dotTech review carries a lot of weight ^_^. However please don’t hotlink to the images; rather download them and upload them yourselves.
@Tortuga: I was thinking about asking Tejas but then I figured it is so simple… why not do it myself? I basically combined the work/suggestion of David, Skye-hook, and Locutus mentioned at http://dottech.org/forums/improve-dottech/dottech-needs-a-logo-symbol.
Hi Again
I just read the Forum thread, hadn’t seen it (Thanks for the link)
Really, I must get myself over to the Forum & become a member! Lack of time, always putting it off …
I do agree w what you did. The favicon is nice, simple, clean.
Not fussy, easily recognizable, which is most important!
I do LIKE IT **Bravo indeed**
Now tell me: Where in the hell do you get time to do graphics, on top of everything else?
I hate you!!! !!! ;) Geee, I’ve been asking for longer days for decades now, never got any!! You must know somebody that knows someone, to have gotten in front of the queue so quickly … No fair!!! :roll:
Ciao
