dabbaba when shrunk down its not clear, let me know if youre happy with it, otherwise foind another one, and shrink it to 32*32 and post it here and ill add it in inshAllah

[Dabbaba]

How do u shrink pictures

[gengis]

just use any image editor and resize to 32*32

[Dabbaba]

It seems a bit too small.. btw i assumed you meant 32x32 pixels... if not, let me know and I'll resize it again.

[gengis]

if you look at the lfag under my name and you check the size out, its 32*32 pixels. All the flags are the same size and if one was bigger\smaller it makes desig changes int he future really hard as there is no standard.

[Dabbaba]

I give up.

[gengis]

dabbaba now you know how i feel every time i update something or design something for the sites

if you are happy with it being small and unreadable i will add it to the flags available, let me know bro.

Your problem is that you are using a typical raster based image editor. What needs to be done is to import the flag into a vector-based editor like adobe illustrator or inkscape, and create the image with vector based lines. That way, shrinking the image will not destroy its clarity.

In simpler terms:
raster = dots. Shrinking dots = mashing everything together. Mashing everything together = goo.
vector = math. X + Y = Z. (X + Y)/2 = (Z)/2

EDIT: *feels a dozen sets of eyes, staring back at him*

Lol I have no idea what you just said Kreax

[ashes999]

lol you guys are noobs about graphics it seems

No worries, just go with the local area flag. That's the point -- not to promote nationalism, but to say "here's my timezone broz!"

Wallahu a'lam.

[Dabbaba]

Canada has something like 5-6 time zones.... clear that up, buddy.

[thulfiqaar]

Another way of clarifying the time zone is to add it in your signature for example:
UK GMT+0

or

USA - GTM-5

You get the idea

[saqib7]

so where is the new logo!

[gengis]

dabbaba as ashes said, the flags are not about nationality, they are about showing others that the site is truly international and that we have Muslim Gamers from all over the world here, not just UK or US.

saqib7 when we transfer to the new site the about page, new forums, new logo and more will be up inshAllah
