Graphic for "Topic Locked"
« on: August 05, 2013, 11:14:03 pm »
I came across some pretty nice graphics which I think are absolutely useful for us FMs and other highstaffs to Lock a topic.

For example:






I really like the 2nd picture. Just wondering if someone could make something similar with a touch of Ambrosia in it. Let your creativity go wild but I would really appreciate if the picture can be a little bit professional.  ;D

Agreed for the second version.

^ I second this.

I don't mind using the 2nd picture tbh.. But since we are a well established community, why not have a graphic designed specially for us instead of using someone else's.

I am sure our design team can do a good job.. *no pressure* <- I'm lying!

White frame border added to bring out the text and make it more sexy

I don't like it :D

I'd prefer a black/grey version which blends with forum.

The words are barely visible also they should be sharp so it's visible and the message is clear.

I think you should have the Ambrosia logo, the locked key and the text as components. Also you should make it smaller almost as twice in the width smaller.
Erm if you make it black or grey, you may add a flare of fire or anything like that, or optional, add milk! haha

Sami said pretty much everything that I had in mind.

I also feel that the wordings should have more clarity and like Sami mentioned the size should be more horizontal and smaller.

Great effort anyway John  ;)

Guys don't forget the main ingredients, specially the key. As you see what Firroth posted the second picture has the key coming out of the main frame and I think that's a good idea, you can put the ambrosia logo on top of that key.
[div class="cat_bar"][div class="catbg" style="font-size: 18px;font-family: Oswald;line-height: 52px;text-shadow: -1px -1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.43);    background: #2b2b2b;background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #2b2b2b 0%, #191919 100%);background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #2b2b2b 0%,#191919 100%);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #2b2b2b 0%,#191919 100%);box-shadow: 0 2px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.1) inset;text-align:left;font-weight: 700;"][div class="pt_bar"][div class="ptbg"][span class="pt"][email protected][/span][/div][/div]

Yes. The keylock is the standout feature. You'll get the idea the first instant the you see a huge keylock. Ambrosia logo on the keylock would fit perfectly.

I must say, we do have quite similar taste Sami.

Firroth? You happy with it? Because I ain't :D
*Edit

Although good job mate, but we are looking for more professional type of a lock. The sample we have given is already a lot like we would like it, with the lining and the key coming out of the picture.
