The other day I was just minding my own business having a bath, and this weird idea popped into my head about how the Heelys logo is reminiscent of an "S" if mirrored and turned on it's side, so today I put that idea into practise to make a logo suitable for wallpapers or T-Shirts or whatever.
Think I'm gonna get me a blue shirt with this printed on it, to confuse Superman fans - maybe combine it with a "one arm forward, one leg behind" manual
1600 x 1200 version for printing. Could also provide it in 1920x1200 and other widescreen formats with a little work if needed |

OK, raining a lot again today, but just because it's not really heeling weather doesn't mean I can't contribute to the heelychat community: There seems to be an acute lack of Heelys related desktop wallpapers on the net, so I made another one of my "Super Hero meets Heelys" themed wallapers.
This one's inspired by the new Pro Series Heelys logo, and reminiscent of something Flash Gordon might wear.
I don't have fancy software like Photoshop with all it's vectored editing mallarky, so these took me about 4 hours to make using a standard raster editor, so I hope people like it. Again, I can make these up to about 1920x1200 but as it's time intensive I won't post the larger sizes unless someone particularly needs it for printing or whatever.
Also, I can't decide which version I like best: the one where the lightning bolt is dominant and the H is in it's usual shape:
Or the one where the Heelys "H" is dominant but wider than usual:
I prefer the bigger, wider H, but I realise this H does not have the same aspect ratio as a standard Heelys "H", so I included the first one for those who want to keep it original.
I suppose I could do a combination of the two (1024x768 jpeg example) where it's the bigger H but squished so that it's not much wider, but then the white background looks kinda like an egg, but then when you work on something it's hard to take a step back, so I leave that to you to decide if it looks ok.
JPEG tends to screw up the background so here's a couple of links to PNG versions, but I won't embed them or those of you with slower net might struggle to load the thread:
800x600 with the smaller H
1200x800 widescreen with the large H |
