I don't know much about using a bash script, but you can use php since it's already running this site. You can modify the code below to change the rotate intervals, but it would be on each page load. The images are small enough that it shouldn't matter....for now.

 

<?
$ris = "/img";
$picture = array();
$picture[0] = "$ris/1.jpg";
$picture[1] = "$ris/3.jpg";
$picture[2] = "$ris/4.jpg";
$picture[3] = "$ris/5.jpg";
$picture[4] = "$ris/6.jpg";
$picture[5] = "$ris/7.jpg";
$picture[6] = "$ris/8.jpg";
$picture[7] = "$ris/9.jpg";
$picture[8] = "$ris/10.jpg";
$count = count($picture) - 1;
$num = rand(0,$count);
echo ('<img src="'.$picture[$num].'" alt=" " width=" " height=" " border="0" />');
?>

 

Hope that helps.

you'll need to add that as a php file to the server, then create it to be run as a task from the admin control panel

I like those logos, especially with the use of the tux, but from a technical point of view, the dont look visually as good as they should, the outlined fonts look very rough, and the type setting and font choice could be improved, so on that note i'm going to power up photoshop and do some new versions.

[DustyBin 0]

This logo is a optimized .gif what i done in photoshop, feel free to use. I will do some variations of it when i get time.

 

[anyweb 490]

very nice, except that the logo must be 225 pixles by 68 pixels,

 

can you try again ?

[anyweb 490]

hello,

 

anyone interested in trying some new designs for the logo ?

 

the forums will change look and feel soon so perhaps now is a good time to change the logo also

 

for an idea of the new look, please see here

 

let me know

 

cheers

Here are a few initial mockups based on the new IBP design.

 

Note that the background gradient is from the right-hand area of the IBP header; I can't get a copy of the lighter blue gradient background used for the logo in the original without any text on it!

 

 

A more traditional, yet modern (with crystal effect) Tux logo.

Also using a modified Tux G2 design http://tux.crystalxp.net/en.id.15113-lilitux-tux-atlas.html licensed under CC BY-NC-SA.

 

There are more G2-style Tuxes to a specific theme at Tux Factory. Perhaps a time-rotating set of suitable versions?

 

Anyway, here are my initial ideas on this.

[anyweb 490]

wow, they are EXCELLENT, i love them, as soon as the board changes over I'll be using them, keep it up !!

[Dungeon-Dave 292]

mmm.. do like!

[hybrid 189]

Thanks!

 

I will aim to put together a few more soon, with some of the other better Tux variations so that there are enough to rotate with.

Here are a few more, including a Christmas one for the appropriate time.

 

 

 

 

 

Again, the CC licences apply to this stuff, all Tux images from the same source as before.

[anyweb 490]

more more more !!!

 

they are great :=)

[hybrid 189]

A couple more here, I especially like the last one with Tux thinking really hard.

 

 

 

 

Anyweb, we really do need to have a notice in the footer to comply with the Creative Commons licensing of the G2 (fatter) style Tuxes. Something like:

 

"The G2-style Tux and the header images using them are licensed under Creative Commons BY-NC-SA. The G2-style Tux images are all from http://crystalxp.net/. Thanks to users kami23, lilitux, iva, overlord59, whidou, brightknight, emulienfou on the Crystal XP Tux Factory site."

 

That should cover the attribution requirement for http://crystalxp.net and the author of each individual image put on the site so far (including these two new ones).

One with the 2009 Linux Kernel logo would be cool.

hehe, I'm no artist but here you go. Please don't look too close at the edges, my clone, smudge and general gimp skills are lacking.

 

[anyweb 490]

thanks Yeok

 

i've added that one too, so now we have 9 new logos, please keep it up dudes !

 

i'd love to somehow have a tux sleeping or relaxing on the 'linux-noob' text, just like we had him sliding down it on the old logos...

[hybrid 189]

Well, today's new design makes the old logo styles obsolete. If anyone wants to make any new ones, they are more than welcome.

 

The files need to be 358x64 pixels, and you should use the 'blank' template file below for the background to look seamless. You might also want to use the template image below that which already has the text on it.

 

Feel free to fire up your favourite graphics package and submit some new logos by replying to this post and attaching your files!
