New Icon for Zone Minder?

[Proteus]

Hey guys,

First topic post! Just registered today. I'm not an art major or anything, but I do art in my spare time so I was curious, would there be any interest to design a new icon for Zone Minder?

I have only limited training in coding (from high school i.e. C++ & Visual Basic) so I can't contribute that way yet.... And I'm in college so I'm quite poor. But, I am interested in helping!

I've been doodling, but wasn't sure if there would be interest? The ZM icon is looking a bit dated (no insult implied) so maybe it might help generate more interest in the project if it looked "new" and "fresh"?

Regards,
Proteus

I would say just do it see if the dev likes it. I know he said himself that he is no designer. Also it helps if you make it easy meaning like a diff or simply making the file names the same so they can be replaced. Also dont expect it to be changed quickly the dev has been busy. (but still adds patches to svn)

I have to agree that it would be awesome for the logo and whole website to have its looks revamped, however there are much more pressing concerns than a simple logo change

I'm really grateful that ZoneMinder has a support forum, unlike OpenSSL and FFmpeg, where they only have stupid mailing lists.

I did make some a while back but it was mainly a attempt to learn to make text shiny http://www.box.net/shared/162iftkt23

Ok. Thanks guys. I'll draw up a few ideas, see if any of them take (devs, etc, like them), and if they do, maybe move ahead from there.
