    Detail description for your graphics request:

    Please make one new forum icon that is the same size as this one, from the prosilver set that we are using currently:
    Current category icon*: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

    Please design the new icon this way:
    For the main circle, make a circle the same size as the one in the prosilver example above; use a Medium Blue background (#4682B4) with a shading effect to show the dimension of roundness.  

    For the movement, add very small circles which move vertically up, within the main circle, as if they are bubbles.  The circles should be slightly different sizes in these two colors:    
    green = #33cc33
    purple = #cc33ff  

    If this is not clear I would be glad to explain further, but I hope it's clear. Very Happy
    Thanks!

    Actually, I think it's pretty cool!  If it's okay with you, I'll try it out real quick on my forum and see how it blends in with everything.  Very good 

    ... (half hour later ...)

    Okay, it looks good but it would be better if it showed up a little stronger.  If you get a chance could you add a few more of the small purple (or green, too) circles to fill in the top right side of the big circle?  Is there a way for the small circles to flow (scroll) continuously upward?  

    Thanks!  

    ps: I like the "no new message" icon, too.  If you get a chance, could you also add to this one a couple of circles in to the part of the big circle where it looks a bit empty?  In other words, fill the white space a bit more with the circles.  

    I know you do not have a lot of time and I really appreciate any work you are doing on this. Very Happy

    Upload them to your image server. Admin Panel~Display~Pic Management~Advanced Mode~Upload a picture.

    When you need it you click on (see example) under upload a picture and it will be there with the rest of the images you upload.

    Is this request complete?

    Just one more thing ... could you make the outline of the main image a darker blue the way it is in your first try?  When I compare the two, the first one seems darker.  The "bubbles" in the first try seem to be in bolder colors, too.  If both of these changes could be made, this would be complete.Very Happy 
    Thanks.

    Thank you for still working on this! Very Happy 

    Here is a comparison of 10.gif and 13.gif: (animated Images, only)

    [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] 

    The outline of 13.gif still appears just a little fainter than the outline of 10.gif. and
    the colors of the "bubbles" in 13.gif do not seem as bold as the ones in 10.gif.  
    I would really like them to make a stronger impression.      

    The animation of 13.gif is great thumleft and the number of bubbles is also thumright , so it's really just MORE intensity of color that I am going for.

    If you could do that I would so appreciate it.  Thanks!

    Don't know what to tell you it looks the same to me. The bubbles are the same might look different since we added more bubbles.

    I'm not sure but the order of the animation might be different?

    I do agree with SLGray they look awfully similar.

    The colors are the same ony difference was the addition of maybe one or two extra bubbles.

    They DO look similar.  And the colors ARE the same, I agree.  

    The difference that I see is that in 10.gif the purple is showing up brighter and bolder than in 13.gif.  

    Also, in 10.gif the largest purple bubble displays for longer so there is more effect.  

    I think, all in all, 10.gif will work the best on my forum so thank you very much for working on this project and we will call it complete.  Very Happy  I don't see the symbols for "solved" and "complete" - where are they?
