Brushed Metal Background
I made this background for my new laptop, which has a brushed metal finish on the outside.

With the .psd you can resize the image and logo to fit your needs.
Just thought I'd share this :)

Now witness the power of this fully operational Drupal Installation
I made this to celebrate the launch of our latest site http:/www.bedfordtw.co.uk
Happy to send the PSD to anyone who would like it. Planning on making a full poster version of one of the orgional Star Wars posters with a Drupal related twist. Any help from an illustrator or character artist would be welcome.
As well as suggestions for characters, etc. Any related photos of people in a similar poses would be welcome too.

Logo Redesign until Drupalcon - urgent
Hello Folks,
we are going to the DrupalCon Copenhagen and we will present together with Ben Finklea the "Seo for Drupal 6 & 7" Session ( http://cph2010.drupal.org/sessions/drupal-7-search-engine-optimization ).
This is an award. We want you to redesign our Logo until the 21.18.2010 and will post the credits for the winner on our website during the DrupalCon.
The actual website logo is at www.segments.at, but it does not fit to the overall Design of our website.

Need "Spinner" and "Complete" icons
I have a request for a UI element if someone wants to make or find a GPL compliant icon set for the Media module. Here's the issue.
We need to have a spinner "progress" indicator (which should just be something that spins, as it's not true percentage complete, just a spinner telling us the upload is in progress). Then a checkbox or something to display when the upload is complete. Something similar to how YouTube does it. (I can attach screenshots of that if someone needs.)
Thanks,
Aaron
Druplicon request for the Media Group!
Anyone interested in creating a logo for the new Media group? Maybe Druplicon with a painter's smock and brush? Or a multi-color pixellated Druplicon? Or a video/image/music note montage swirling around Druplicon? Or ... ?

Druplikiwcon, a Kiwi-bird Druplicon mashup
I created this logo for DrupalSouth, but it wasn't used. I'm making the files available for others to rehash, remix, reuse or whatever else they like.
We are also trying to get source files and permissions for the DrupalSouth logo we used.
Back In Action: Creating Drupal art with Inkscape 0.46
Hi Guys,
Sorry for being gone for a long while. It's been pretty rough lately here in my country and I hope everything is still in good shape after all those natural calamities.
For almost a year that I've been designing art inspired by Drupal, one application is always there for me -- Inkscape.
Drupal icon for Google Maps
This map has a Drupal icon for iceland: http://tinyurl.com/57r8tw
It works in FF3 but not in Safari. Does anyone have some time to try to suggest a new icon so we could make the map markers all Drupalicons.
This may be useful: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/articles-customicon/custom...

Drupal droppie for the Drupal babies.
Level of cuteness can be improved for that long lasting awe factor.
<-- Zarabadoo's idea.
The icon design starter kit is here.
Ok, icon drawing time! Here's my suggestions for some specs and guidelines to get started with. All feedback welcome.
In the attachment:
- an icon template file for Inkscape
- basic directory structure for organising and categorisation of the icon sources and png renders.
The directories are mostly empty, but have a look in the applications and the mimetypes folder, there are SVG files for:
- forum icons
- calendar icons
- mimetype icons (with PSD sources for 16 and 32px versions which are actually further developed then the SVG!)
Licensing Dos and Don'ts for Drupal Artwork
Licensing and legals issues are becoming increasingly important for our project. This year the Drupal Association picked up 2 board members who expressed an interest in working on legal issues. I'd like to lay down some "Dos and Don'ts" to help guide future work and make sure that existing work is on the straight and narrow:
- When you start with another piece of artwork as the base, check the license of the work you are using before you begin. If it's not stated, ask the owner and assume it is not available for re-use.
