"New" icon

Resolved

Template: {{New icon}} Template:New icon

Request: I just made a little template for marking things as "new" (for highlighting new instructional screencasts on a page full of them). This was the only relevant icon I could find. It's good, but it looks bad at small sizes. I'm hoping someone can create a version that is simpler and looks better at 35px or even smaller. Thanks!

Graphist opinion(s): Not sure which pages/dimensions you're doing this for, I quickly threw a couple together to get the conversation started. Is there any of them that you think would be a good lead for the final design? Jon C (talk) 03:38, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! The page I want it for now is here, although I think it would be handy elsewhere too. I think it ought to be bright, contrasty, and solidly colorful, along the lines of the stereotypical "new" star/explosion icon, kinda like this, and also have more points than the stars you drafted, like at least 7. I think the current one would work well if the text was a solid without an outline, or something a little more optimized for small size. The size of your drafts are perfect, I'd say.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 03:49, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Take 2. I was going to insert one into your page to see how it works, but I'm not sure how to do that (template and all). Jon C (talk) 04:03, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
PS, your second link killed my eyes :P — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkwchui (talkcontribs) 04:04, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. The red-on-gray is tough to read at the proper small size: Maybe if the text was horizontal and a little bit wider? And sorry to spring that gif on you. I looked for something closer to the archetype in my mind, but that was the best I found on a quick Google search.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 04:10, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Take 3. I've overwritten the last version with larger (but lighter) font - I think it's readable at the small size now (it wasn't before). I prefer the slanted text; the slant and the red will help catch attention on an otherwise horizontal and black/blue/white environment. Taken the liberty to change the template, and it looks sorta OK in the page you've mentioned. I'm not ready to make neon-green/party pink on Wikipedia :) Jon C (talk) 04:34, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much! I like it. It's a huge improvement over the other one. And don't worry about the colors; I can probably figure out how to change them to hot pink and neon green on my own. :D --Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 04:44, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphist opinion(s): Image's request under progression Request taken by Orionist.

 Done I was not sure of the background color so I searched for similar images, and all of them had black backgound, so I made it black. Regards, -- Orionisttalk 10:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nicely done.Jon C (talk) 22:35, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm glad you find it so. Regards, -- Orionisttalk 18:29, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I tried my hands on this and gave up on the (irregular) feathers... did you manually pen Bezier curves for all of them, or is there a different way of going about this? Jon C (talk) 18:52, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You're right. I also used only a few points to keep the curves smooth, and tried to make opposite curves of different feathers go somehow parallel to one another. Once I figured out the first couple, the rest became much easier. -- Orionisttalk 19:55, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's great! Thanks. Vearthy (talk) 13:30, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
