End of the Year CoH Splasher Thread (Post your pics!)

Well, we're just about wrapping up the end of 2009. What better way to ring in the new year with a new, fresh look for the CoH/CoV login screen?

With help from the absolutely fabulous City of Heroes Splasher, designed by Leandro, I decided to psyche myself up for "Going Rogue," which should be hitting our screens in 2010!

Here's what I'm currently using. (And by all means feel free to post your Login Screens as well!)

Hero (top)
Villain (bottom)



Can't wait to see what everyone else has :P

Arachnos Commander:

I've stopped using Splasher since i16 broke it for my costume screen. So sad

Those are quite nice, but the backlit booty might be too much for me to handle. I'll never get past the login screen.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but I have some loading screens which I would like to share!

These aren't all that original, but I — and I presume many other players — enjoy this game on a wide-format (16:9) display, but all the loading screens in the game are optimised for olde-fashioned 4:3 displays.

My current display configuration is twin 22" WSXGA+ (1680×1050) LCD flat-panel monitors, so my login screens are sized accordingly. I just didn't care for the manner in which the default splash screen was being distorted because my display happens to be of different proportions :\





As one might notice, I tweaked the background a bit on each one, making the hero splash screen brighter and less saturated, while making the villain splash screen darker (also less saturated) I think :P

I have found that foreground content is easier to read and/or discern when the background is less saturated.

The only thing I would change on them at this point is the fact that I omitted Lord Recluse's arachnoid appendages (which honestly, on the splash screen, only appear as fuzzy and out-of-focus dim areas in the background.

Thanks, Fire Lilly!

That is, if you are referring to my splash screen designs

By the way, do we have any sort of official permission to use our own designs such as these for in-game screens from the devs? Just wondering about this. I have heard all sorts of hearsay about not modifying the gameplay or game content in any way.
