Hi, I was recently browsing the wiki and I wanted to link to it as a button, but I can't find a standard button. I would make a button on my own but I think that might be a little pretentious.

Therefore I wonder if Ryan Clark or someone else could make a button for the GPWiki (88px by 31px) and upload it to the server (maybe even put it on the front page or the "about" page).

Here is where my investigation started: http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=325871

I want to make people aware of the Game Programming Wiki.

Thanks all

Cool idea. I'm sure one of the people here can hack up a space-invader gpwiki button... any takers?

OK, anyone that needs a good laugh, check this out:

hehe, that's better than I could do, Machaira

I think some other people made buttons previously, too... do you guys still have them around?

Boder's right though: I should put a button on the "About" page and on the "Links" page so that people can find it more easily!

That's just sad, then.

'nuff said.

We should seriously use that one!

lol Sion, that's hilarious

And Dial-Up: That's the one I was thinking of. Did you make it originally?

That blue-on-red is kinda hard to read (in Dial-Up's button).

That's why we should use Sion's button! I think it'd be funny!

Perhaps someone skilled in the art of photoshop would be so kind as to create a button-sized version of the logo we have at the top of the forums? (The red 3D version of the invader?) I think that would look best.

Here is what I came up with.

I like cdfbr's. I made it a gif:

Thanks

It probley can be improve some more.

Il have to look at it again when i recive my dose of thc. But i think it looks pretty good.

I was also thinking of make 1, where you have the gpwiki logo, and then a little space invader comes by and shoots all the letters.

After that some 1/0's appear , and then GPWiki.org appears again. So its like the Banner got recode again, or something.

That will take alot of diffrent bitmaps, but i can do it if you guys want to see it.

Here are the buttons thus far.







Here they are against different colors.

Yeah, I wasn't satisfied with just text links, so I did some hacking in MSPaint.

I think they're all pretty great I'll add them all to a wiki page, and if people want to link to us, they can use whichever they prefer.

Anyone else have any different versions they'd like to add before I make the page?
