Default New Firebird Desktop

Hi all,

I came up with a simple Firebird Desktop this evening. No car images, just the logo, but it looks real sharp. Dimensions are 800 X 1280. Check it out here -

(Click the image for a larger view)

I hope to do a few more Firebird desktops as well as signature banners in the future. Thanks

Brendan

Sure, request away! However I must warn you that I have a busy work schedule this week, so I can't guarantee I'll finish anything quickly!

Definitely will get the words Trans Am on a desktop sometime too.

Messing in PShop, maxing the Saturation, taking the Lightness down to -5 and changing the hue, you can do any color you want really. Here's Grey/Silver.

www.arctec.org/~maxpain/pinzgrey.jpg I cut the size down by around 130% w/o quality loss. PShop JPG @ quality level 9 is about the lowest you can go w/o any noticeable loss. 10 you have to be psycho to tell a diff.

Yea, I'll release different color versions of that one, and maybe try some cool effects on "The Bird".
