Question about Custom purchases...

[Skanky Burns]

Thanks Markos.

[Mercator]

If you think this looks close enough (don't have SMAC myself, so I had to go by the Hive avatar), Frankychan/MarkG, I've got a bigger one where that came from.

[MarkG]

hmm perhaps we could use the hive background, but it's firaxis copyrighted...

[Frankychan]

Whoa, thanks for the replies guys. And thank you Mercatore Uno for that lovely Hive symbol.

Well, to be safe, I think the Hive symbol is good enough. I'm not having any luck finding a "good Hive symbol". The ones I find are either of poor resolution, or have those "game lines" in them. If it would be ok with you, can you do the symbol, MarkG?

But I would like to have 'Apolyton' underneath it in small lettering to indicated where I bought if from.....along with one of Yang's quotes.

Thanks for helping me out guys.

[Mercator]

I have much bigger (705x705) bitmap and PSP7 vector (so any minor faults can be corrected quite easily) versions of that Hive symbol.

I'm sure MarkG is in a better position to add the Apolyton thing and whatnot...

[MarkG]

along with one of Yang's quotes

which one?

[MarkG]

Merc, i dont have PSP installed currently. could you do a psd version of it(keeping the vectors)?

[Mercator]

Ah crap... PSP can't export to PSD vector files. The best I can do is put every shape in a separate layer, and possibly make the whole thing even larger (if you want).

[MarkG]

just make a 2500 pixels wide jpg and it will be fine

[Mercator]

You mean like this?

(if I understood the "drinkware template" correctly, I added a small crosshair at the centerpoint which should be exactly opposite the hive symbol on the stein)

[Frankychan]

"Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendent, and to embrace them is to achieve enlightenment. "

-Chairman Sheng-ji Yang
"Essays on Mind and Matter"

This is the quote. If it is possible, can I get the actual quote in italics, but have "Chairman Sheng-ji Yang" and "Essays on Mind and Matter" in regular font?

(once again, thank you guys. I really appreciate it.)

[Frankychan]

Just reading the opening line, I started thinking that the stuff I'm going to be putting in the stein will be affecting my "flesh and bone" and will "warp the matrix through which I perceive the world".

Excellent!
