The new me...

So... notice anything different?

A bonus point goes to the one who notices first, and an extra bonus point goes to the person who can identify where it came from (no, you can't play Twyg, sorry

).

And no this doesn't mean that anyone can take the old one. I still have the picture and can put it back anytime.

P.S. Twyg, yours was OK, but like you said, it was weak. So I did a little Photoshopping on my own (Photoshop Trial + Control-Command-Shift-4 = awesome), and did a little better, I think.

It's your avatar and I'm gonna guess it's a lego peice.

well, your new avatar is not the red cross logo but it is close

looks like the direction button on a video game controller.

Isn't it something to do with the new Jaguar update? Rendezvous?

I still liked your old avatar.

Yeah, it's the logo from Rendezvous. I just really liked it for some reason.

If someone feels up to making an animated GIF of this logo rotating, feel free to do it.

But it must look good (the GIF format really sucks since it can only handle 256 colors, but the JPEG format also sucks because it doesn't handle transparencies, and unfortunately those are the only 2 formats allowed for avatars

).

redraw it in illustrator or flash and animate it in Flash, export the frames as an animated gif.

or...

open it in photoshop and convert it to rgb... then animate it and then saved it back to gif format.

Here's an animated version.

wdw: It needs to be a little better. First notice that every few frames the animation moves down and to the right a bit, and also that the center of the logo resets to its original position and doesn't do a full circle. These details are very, very important.
