Looking for Fansite Kit Suggestions
By
Altoholic_Monkey,
Posted on: 2009-11-04 11:25 in News, Events and Announcement Discussion
First off, I recommend keeping most of the items that were in both the CoH and CoV fansite kits. However, I recommend adding the following:
- AT icons for Soldiers of Arachnos
- Adding SoA sounds to the AT-specific sound clips
- Pictures of the main characters from Going Rogue, akin to those shown at this year's Hero Con
- Box Art from the "Good vs Evil", "Mac Edition", and "Architect Edition" boxes
- Updated logos (for Paragon Studios specifically)
- Updated wallpapers with previous Issue releases and Going Rogue
- Updated IM/ forum avatars - not only signature characters, but ATs & Origins
- Updated banners (if any)
- Remove any Cryptic Studios logos (my opinion)
Edit: Also, having graphics for the various holiday events would be cool too.
I'd like to see more Wallpapers, character renders, AT Specific logos and that sort of thing. A choice of forum/website banners/sigs/avatars would be nice too.
I'd also like to submit my own GR themed wallpapers for consideration: found here
More renders of Arachnos and all other characters (if possible). Some high quality city scape shots of Atlas and Grandville and other zones.
I'd also like to know what app you guys use to make the 3D 'City of' logo's and the font too

The URL to the Wentworth's store.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
How about the IO and IO set button art?
The Praetorian symbol and/or the Vigililante and Rogue symbols, when they are ready to be revealed.
The Wentworth's symbol. (Is there a Black Market symbol?)
The Ouro symbol.

IIRC, they currently license the game engine from Cryptic. I doubt we'll ever see the logo removed from the game, absent a complete engine revamp.|

Accordingly, it is probably appropriate for the fansite package.

Images of all the enemy NPCs (with transparent backgrounds):
- group shot with minions, lieutenants, bosses, Elite Bosses, and Arch Villains/Heroes
- individual: casual stance facing forward, facing angled to one side
- individual: menacing stance facing forward, facing angled to the one side
Eh. You can toss in a few images of civilians too.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
Ads and Signage from the game stores and billboards.
Widescreen desktops

I really don't think so, Jay strongly suggested that he was working on the Natural booster "right now" during Hero Con.

^^That. Also: Zone loading splashes. Clever folks can get them from the aqua-bacon, but it would be nice to have them from an official source. Oh, and that nice little set of instructions for making them would be cool too.

Adding to this, the various Arachnos recruitment posters that are posted around Mercy.

Pics of the SG symbols/emblems.

These are good wallpapers here. I'm using the Desdemona one on my PC right now and if it comes in the proper size (1366X768) then I will use it on my laptop as well.|

Edit: Awww, not the right size for my lappy...Oh well, it's an unusual screen resolution...
Herocon Images and Logos, Wentworths and Black Market Logos, Vanguard Logos, heck logos for all the various NPC groups. They are fun and can easily be turned into icons on fan websites!
My level 50 Dominators:
Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn
Nate Nitro 50 Fire/Psi
Larger versions of the AT icons please...really that's all I've been wanting for a while now. (Unless they only come in that rather small size)

I was curious about this as well and just never really devoted time to look it up. Or rather look at a bunch of sans serif fonts...well tonight I had a bit of extra time to kill (The Sandman was late to our nightly date)|

If I'm not mistaken it is: Twentieth Century Extra Bold

This is not a free font, so don't expect to find it like Red Circle or anything.
TW Cent with bold is close but it doesn't have the weight as Extra Bold.
I used the 'G' in the "Going Rogue" logo to identify the font. I also used the 'R' but the most telling part is the look of the 'G'.
Since the logos are registered trademarks, I'm not sure if they'll confirm the font or not. But using the link above you can see the similarities.
Additionally, Century Gothic, with bold or faux bold will get you a pretty close second. In any case, those are my font findings for the COH/COV/GR logos.
Enjoy!
Oh I think I finally hear the Sandman...Boy am I gonna give him a piece of my ...zZzzZzzzz
I'm not sure if you are still looking at this thread, but I would like to see City of Heroes User Interface PNG Files. Would be able to make nice Borders for tables, galleries, text boxes, etc with them.

Look at the "C" in City of Heroes. The right of it closes like a Pac-Man (I'm not a font wizard so I don't know what the technical term is). In the font you linked, the C ends in a vertical line, not in the "Pac-Man angle". Now try Montreal-Bold, which is very similar to the one you linked, free to download, and actually matches the C shape. I think it's a better match.|

Was there ever a fansite kit developed?
My new Youtube Channel with CoH info
You might know me as FlintEastwood now on Freedom
Wallpapers sized to 1920 x 1080 (HDTV) would be nice.
I play on Protector, Guardian, and Victory servers. 8 Level 50's so far (and counting).

Greetings Players,
I have taken on the task of updating our fansite kits and would love to get some input from you. I'm thinking along the lines of banner graphics, buttons, iconic images for archetypes, badges, wallpapers, audio tracks, forum avatars, concept art etc...
What types of things would you like to see added to the fansite kits?

Thanks so much for all your help!
