We're going to have an ad on Free-DC for the next year and we need a nice graphic. For those of you who are not into either folding or crunching - you will burn in hell for all eternity. That aside, many of you know that Free-DC is a site that keeps track of the mind numbing amount of member stats generated by World Community Grid and Folding@Home. Phil, the guy who runs the site does this out the goodness of his heart and, more importantly, out of his own pocket. Buying a graphic to be displayed on his site is our way of both saying thanks and promoting TPU.
The graphic needs to be 180x180 pixels. There is zero flexibility regarding the width but the height can be a little more if you need the space for your creative vision. Of course it can also be a little less as to both if that works out better.
It needs to identify TPU and incorporate the name and logo. I'd like for my username to be in there someplace too, but if people think that's narcissistic, I can live without it. I paid for the ad so I figured it wasn't unreasonable to expect that a bone be thrown in my general direction, but again, I'll go with whatever the consensus opinion here is.
In my opinion it should also indicate that the purpose of the ad is to show TPU's support of Free-DC, but I do understand that words can sometimes get in the way, so that will also be your call.
Originally I had intended to do a poll to see which of the submissions should be chosen (using the plural form for "submissions" indicates my hope that at least a few people will try their hand at this). But it will be quicker if we let W1zzard decide and since it will be representing his site, I think it's his right in any event.
Here is my feeble attempt. After you're finished laughing and get a clean pair of underwear, please realize that it is just the best that I was able to come up with as someone with the artistic sense of a garden slug.
Thanks in advance to everyone who is willing to spend some of their spare time working on this. If you submit something and it is not chosen, rest assured that your effort will be noticed and appreciated.
