It is best to look good but not too flashy...it demeans the company.

Thanks, yea i do agree, i am almost considering using the "E" Which is kind of like Facebook and twitter do.

I feel like someone is more likely to remember a short symbol rather then a name (considering most people cant pronounce the company name anyway because its weird).

It does have the linguistic excellence element you seen in Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries, though they don't even go beyond using a simple font. A company logo is supposed to resonate what the company stands for, and if it's the attempt to simplify the feature of translating languages, then I don't see the need for something 'sleek' or 'flashy'.

Thanks, maybe this is the encouragement i am looking for. Its just i see allot of newer websites with a flashy look, something memorable and i don't think we are quite there. I helped make this one we are using now which is more complicated but i again a feel its too plain.

Hi all, i have recently started working with a company (sales) and their logo is garbage. SO bad that i actually made one for them but they are still not as good as i like.

What i really want is something smaller, catchier and overall better. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not great with photoshop but i know my way around it, just not too artistic.

Here's what it looks like (don't laugh it used to be the name in black and white Areal font.) Their are a few more but this is the main one.

That isn't possible without a decompiler, since Newgrounds won't let a user submit something that has already been submitted.

So your insinuating that the NG submission system can recognize an entry that has already been submitted among the 445k entries that have been entered. If so thats news to me. Maybe you can explain how you know this or a post discussing this.

Yes you can download any of the content on this site. However i don't disclose how because of the possibility that someone will download content and resubmit it claiming it is their own [stealing content]. If a mod sees this and feels disclosing how to download content is appropriate then your in luck. If not stick to the downloads section of the site.

its been like a month or more....

PS. I flagged one today, sneaky bastards.....

It takes 50 flagged AND deleted reviews for you to get from normal to a bronze whistle according to an experiment conducted by a well known review mod with his alt. If you are having trouble finding abusive reviews i suggest looking at rages thread. If you are unsure about what to flag check out my news post.

The two best ways to get a flash noticed is either be extremely active in the community or be extremely good at making flash. The more posts you have on the BBS and the more the community gets to know you the more likely they will visit your userpage. It also is a good idea to keep fans updated of flashes you have out or are planning. You can do so with a news post.

Use this program.

Watch these tutorials.

Ask more specific questions about techniques n stuff in the flash forum.

Awesome T-shirts:

They are all in the shop although the icons don't look identical to the actual shirts.

Not only is the SAME EXACT topic on the same page, you are also in the wrong area. Try the audio forum. Also make sure you use the search bar before you make a topic. Oh and while your at it read the FAQ and the BBS rules

Im not talking about uploading a picture here. I mean in general. It seems like if i try to upload GIFs they ually have dots or squares or something that makes the image look crappy.

Thats the nature of a GIF they usually don't have great quality thats why they are normally used for small icons and pictures. When you save a GIF some programs ask you how many colors you want to use, obviously use the maximum if you want better quality but that also has a higher file size. And a good free picture editing software is GIMP.

Then could there be a program out there I could play the game through a URL?
I hate to admit it, but my computer is so slow, I can't play some of these games in the web browser :(

None that i know of but i suggest experimenting with different browsers. If you have Mozilla Firefox then i would try running it in safe mode. That is ONLY of your computer is slow. If your internet connection is slow then that is another story. If you need help cleaning up your computer to make it faster im sure the fellas at computer hospital would help you out.

A short about Bill M.

I would try PMing the author and asking him. If you get an answer don't forget to post it here in case others are wondering.

At 3/7/08 10:23 PM, InfiniteZr0 wrote: Hi guys, I'm just wondering if anyone knew of any programs I can use to play flash games in.
I have a program called Flash Movie Player I can play flash games in, but thats only if I have the flash file for the game downloaded. There is an option to play from a link, but it never works.
Does anyone know of another program I can use to play flash games from newgrounds?
Or if there is a way I can download the swf file for the games?

Their are some movies for download but thats as good as you are going to get. Their are ways to download the actual swf files from the site but im not at liberty to tell you how because it sometimes results in stealing. You might wanna try PMing the author and asking for permission.

If you are talking about a program whereby you can create music i think you may be looking for Frooty Loops also known as FL Studio.

I don't understand what your trying to say.

There is a thing called a "pack" and you download it and open it withe flash are pivot are wat ever progran your using it for, and it has all the parts seperate, as in there ar the head(seperate from rest of body) arm (seperate from rest of body) ect...

This is the closest thing your gonna get to it. I would make sure that if your going to parody tankmen tho you don't just trace the drawing because that would not be your own work and could be a form of steeling.

Yeah, ive thought about a tabletbut im only 12 lol and my mom probly wont let me get one, lol :(

wat store can i buy a tablet at?

I have sen them at Best Buy and Circuit city. Maybe they even have them at PC Richards.

And if you want me to add my two sense i have a few drawing tips. The best thing i have done was tracing pictures. Take a picture of somehting simple online. Like an object person or setting. Then outline it with the line tool. Then fill it in with the appropriate colors. Then zoom in and add shading to different spots. Like under the nose below the hairline etc. If you are good at using the flash tools then this type of exercise is a good idea. If your learning to draw heads or faces i suggest this or this tutorial respectively.

I think the product Virtual Dub might do that. I have it but never really figured out if it has this capability. This is the best free video editing software to my knowledge so i guess this is what you have to work with.

It's not really a top priority for me to have the best they've got but i don't want something crappy that's no good either. I'm new in this area so plz help me out ^^

Either purchase flash online (which ever version fits your budget). Or you can use Liveswif which is a free flash making program but it is not as good as flash 8 or CS3.

You see therein lay my problem too. I understand that but you'd have to be pretty dam fuckign sneaky to walk up on me and shoot me with a grappling hook without me seeing and jumping first. I thought the jumpers should have had way more power over the Paladins. It would have been more exciting if jumpers were hunting jumpers. Or if the paladins didn't have to lug around a 50lbs black box to jump. Even so they couldn't think about jumping to the bottom of the ocean first and then to their final destination to avoid being followed. I could go on but its late lol.

You do need to make sure you have the most recent version of flash which is version 9 not eight. Download it here.

If that does not work i suggest trying another browser. Opera or firefox are good options.

It is probably not your updated drive if that were faulty then other songs would not be able to play on your computer [or so i think]

If all else fails it may be a firewall problem. Try shutting it off breifly and then try it.

You cant as of the Username Lockdown. I would try searching yoru topic next time before asking a question. a search would have yielded plenty of great results.
I suggest reading the NG FAQ before asking any further questions.

Correction, you can only get 10 Experience points per day. I'm sure you meant that, but I thought it was better to clarify it to avoid any confusion.

Yea 10 lol. I was thinking about voting on 5 submissions per day and my fingers did the rest. Thanks.

You can get as many b\p points as their are flashes in a day. You can only get 5 exp per day. and you view your b\p points here. You cant view your whistle points only your status.

Sorry for noob question.

Yes you can. you can put the entire flash into a movie clip. and then put the preloader before it. Another way is that you can just highlight all the frames in the flash and move then up to fit the preloader.

This is a flash question so i wont go into details because a question of this nature really belongs in the flash forum.

If you aren't good with hardware, it's recommended that you get someone who does to do it.

Yea, that's kinda what I figured it would be too.
It happened in my cell phone, and a friend's phone too. The jack we plugged into was just fucked and had to be replaced.

I've never seen it on a Laptop though, but it makes sense. Thanks for the confirmation, LightAndDark.

Thanks, i also read that as an option. I would think that if the DC power jack for the system board was faulty then i wouldn't even be able to operate the computer on AC power. But who knows.

What i am going to do is buy a Dell port replicator [on ebay for $30 of course] first. This charges the battery from the port on the bottom of the laptop which obviously bypasses the ac power jack. If this works then i will buy and install the power jack.

Also i figured out how to work Knoppix. I checked the battery and adapter in "root shell".
After opening root shell i typed in "acpi -f -V". I got this result:

Battery1: charged, 0%, rate information unavailable
Thermal1: ok, 105.8 degrees f
ac adapter 1: on-line.

Is their another way to further diagnose the status of the ac adapter using Knoppix? Is their a hardware manager other then the control center which only shows me laptop battery options? [K menu > control center > power control > laptop battery].

Thanks again for the help.
