Hi all!
We are having another Togs Design Competition. The best entries will be made available on the 'Choose Togs' page, and will be there for other members to use for real!
If you don't know what Togs are: they are the little icons that go at either side of your user name, have a look at the Choose Togs page !
Rules
- Togs images should be between 10 and 12 pixels high and between 10 and 12 pixels wide
- To submit your togs, reply to this forum topic and upload your images as attachments.
- Submit as many entries as you like
- Remember to create a Left and a Right image (even if both images are exactly the same)
- Ideally we would like them in .gif format. However we can convert them for you if you submit them as .jpg or .bmp
- Images must be created by you (i.e. don't get them from anywhere else!)
- By entering the competition you are saying we can use your images as togs on the site without restriction. (in other words you're giving us full permission to put them on the Choose Togs screen and let members use them).
- Closing date for entries: 8th April 2011
- Judges' decisions will be final
Prizes
1st Prize: 15months togs
2nd Prize: 12 months togs
3rd Prize: 9 months togs
4th Prize: 6 months togs
5th Prize: 3 months togs
Everyone who enters the competition will get one month's worth of Togs free! (Only one month's worth though, no matter how many entries you submit)
If you already have togs then the extra time you win will start after your current togs expiry date.
Tips
If you haven't done this before or don't have any drawing software, you can create Togs by using MS Paint:
1) In MS Paint, create an image that is between 10 and 12 pixels high and between 10 and 12 pixels wide (set this in Image -> Attributes)
2) Zoom in (View -> Zoom -> Large Size)
3) Get drawing!
Have a look at the existing Togs that are available - if you can design something that's not already there, then all the better 
Good luck everyone!
Kind regards,
Isobel and Neil

I have attached a pdf that tells you how to create togs using "Paint".
Hope it's helpful
... by the way, the togs that I created in this example are available now on the "Choose Togs" page.

I gave it a try this morning and here are my first selfcreated togs. I try to do it better Please let me know, if you are able to open it and if the size is the way it should be or if I did something wrong.
Emmh, I know, there should be a left and a right one. And I know, there are already flower togs - didn't want to copy it, but thougth it maybe is a thing I could try at first.

So here is one result for the competition. I thought of a turtle for a long long time and had to try it.

Thanks Petra! Looking good.
Just one more note for everyone - for now, please try to avoid putting spaces in the file name when you attach it to the forum post.
The forum software that we use doesn't seem to handle it very well - will fix that at some point!
Kind regards,
Neil

miapearl and I had a similar idea for one of mine. Mine are pretty much the same for left and right. I was really feeling the geometric shapes this time around.

I had to upload them again, because I realized, that I did the same mistake with the names of the files like I did before.
I'm not sure, if the turtle parts really fit together
