All right, here's what's going on.
A few months back, I came across some PopCap iPhone wallpapers on Facebook. These were specially designed for the iPhone - the Bejeweled one, in particular, has a nice bar that's placed directly beneath the Slide to Unlock bar. This inspired me to create some iPhone wallpapers in a similar manner. However, because of school, laziness and so on, I never actually got around to doing it despite having managed to acquire a template for modification off Google Images.
When I woke up today, I decided that, since I'm on vacation, and I've got quite a bit of time to kill, I should start making some, or at least one, even if it might look like rubbish once I'm done. Here's the only wallpaper I've made so far:

Double-post. :D
With some help from the BP team, I've managed to create three more wallpapers. Here they are:

Now you need an NTF version. And one for the Ancients.

Awesame.

I'll think about it. :)

Uh, Dekker, I think that's the Ubuntu Council of Elders logo you're looking at...
By the way, I've just completed my fifth wallpaper after being distracted by Nintendo E3. Here it is:
(http://w1i5bw.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pFRIBZxW_YeVHr11PsTjlpXdhUcGf9cIx1zgRNcE7jR7Pdvzj5Axmk98b4Of_ZySMHlrGvqDuyOofr1X4DmB89f6m1v9NpDeO/PCA.png)
I had to borrow a dead man's stolen blueprints to do the Slide to Unlock section. :nervous:
-
Where are the Vasudan and Shivan ones?
-
I wanted to do one for the Vasudans, but I couldn't find a nice enough logo of theirs to use.
As for the Shivans, it didn't occur to me to make one for them. You have a point, though.
-
No GTA or GTI backgrounds?
-

Use the Vasudan Imperium logo or the PVN.

Hmm... HTL Hades... Hot damn, it even looks good in single-colour profile.
Oh, and, nice pics overall. Hmm-hmm. :yes:
That ship's wheel one is my favourite, though I don't have an i-anything.
-

The FSPort site has an excellent GTI logo, which I will be using. I've yet to find a decent enough GTA logo to use, though. I know Cobra supplied one in a similar thread on this board, but that isn't good enough for what I'm doing, in my opinion.
Use the Vasudan Imperium logo or the PVN.

I used Paint. :P You could use it for a basis though.

Yeah. Maybe a vector or something like that. :nervous:

The two GTVA iPhone wallpapers have been updated with more precise and larger Slide to Unlock regions.

NTF / Zod Haters nextpleaseK?
-
When/If I get a large enough NTF logo.
An anti-Zod one should be easier to do, though. No logos are necessary for that. ;)
-
Use the Vasudan Imperium logo or the PVN.

Did you find the VI or PVN logo somewhere then?

super hi GTA logo.

Anti-Zod = Anti-species
When you're against a certain species, all you need is a picture of one of them. You don't need a faction logo unless you support a certain faction.
And to answer your question, no, I have not.
super hi GTA logo.
HELL YES. I needed that.
I'll get a GTA wallpaper up as soon as I can, as well as an anti-Zod one for Dekker. ;)
-
I don't even have an Iphone. I just like using the pics on my W995. Gonna get the full X10 as an upgrade. Might have to do some research into the alternates/upcoming phones for the xmas season.

Candidate Vasudan logos:
http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/images/PVN_logo.JPG
http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/images/GTVA_organs.PNG - the one on the right
not exactly high res but big enough for an iPod, right?
-
Not really. I prefer being working with a logo that's either the same size as the iPod screen's width or larger, because that will allow me to do ... more interesting things with it. ;)

Double-post. :D
Okay, I learned how to make rudimentary vectors of symbols by using the Magic Wand tool in Photoshop and then converting the selection into a work path. The main limitations I face by using this method are a slight loss of detail as compared to the original as well as total loss of colour (i.e. I can only use this method to create single-colour logos). I downloaded the HoL wallpaper and experimented with that. While making this next wallpaper, I also decided to test out some extreme pixellation while at the same time attempting to use as few colours as possible and mostly default settings for any extra styles used. This is what I came up with:
(http://w1i5bw.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p4-fLO5R4d5iXbxWvBKfnEt5shg_gEpzJhtbC0KMaCMssazRcIPJSKLOVWveSDu7l0WINBXlBayvIq3ZgB1VcHx7PjP_kfQ0p/HoL1.png)
VGT stands for Vasudan Galactic Time, by the way. Not sure if "Abandon Pride" fits (I got that from FSWiki), but there you go.

Hey Dekker, if you can provide me with an image template of your phone's wallpaper, complete with the default GUI, I may be able to make something up for you. I'm using the following as my iPhone template:

Of course, it also helps that I actually own an iPod Touch that used to belong to my dad... :nervous:
Before this, I actually made another iPhone wallpaper to commemorate the release of Pokemon Black and White. It uses Ken Sugimori's artwork, though, so I don't think Microsoft will want to keep it on their servers (everything I've made so far is stored on SkyDrive). It's also not fully relevant to this thread's name (although I know I can change it at any time).
-
Any 2448 x 3264 image (or derivatives of) will do the job as long as it's pro Zod-hate ;)
-
See what you can do with this.

A few weeks ago, I decided to make a wallpaper that's not related to FreeSpace. I stopped just as I was about to do the finishing touches and was unable to find time to finish it until today, so here it is:
(http://w1lu4w.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pqFZJDn40K_OJwVpw-91pavHqdRMf0_vGpKnugXdAE1GMOZc-BYoFm09QkmQFToV60JtZ2bm0qkswICjDmWjnnXUZksQCjmJW/D3_L01_PTMC_Data_Retention_Center.png)
I've saved a copy of all the logos you've uploaded onto Photobucket, Mjn. I shall work on them sooner or later. Thanks for your help. :)
Now, for all you Neo-Terra lovers, I present to you:
(http://w1lu4w.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pWjWHEHpjIOXMWgKAIh9I7M2IULYAT2k7etGZy5B_76s7HBw_qRWzLJEAROoUvZ25hc3pPtTSQox3K7hBY6F-qDI3ND6t7Cjr/NTF.png)
The first wallpaper I ever made, the FS2-era GTVA one, has also been updated with a more relevant background and some glow.
(http://w1lu4w.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p1e1-9qz0RTOOIrBHQm_9_ufbsISncI5Ya5FeJyW5Xi9-zFPcRh_ESIcuOSoyftL2CKJRVZhfYtVfoacqZLiXEu3AWUbzPCOD/GTVA.png)

For the neo-terra one, I now love you. Not that i'm pro-ntf, i'm just REALLY anti-zod....
-
I hope you can recognise the in-joke regarding the NTF one, and that you won't hate me for it... :nervous:
-
Of course not. Any references to that glorious moment when I saw my first PBC are welcme :)
-
NTF one... Is this a glass of beer? Bosch Beer? :D
-

Hah, you're sharp. :D
Now try to read the two hidden words at the bottom. They're large enough for you to read, but I camouflaged them with the same colour as the beer surrounding them.
-
Nice work as always.

Owner or In Beer? :D

It's "In Beer".
