Are there any product logos for Cumulus?

I have not seen any...
If not, I've got some ideas... I dabble a bit in graphics from time to time.

I can post some of them if there is interest. I don't know if Steve has any created yet, has ideas on them or whatnot...

The only things we have approaching logos (i.e. images that we seem to use repeatedly) are the picture of the bay on the front page of the web site, and the little Fulmar favicon. But these are really "Sandaysoft" rather than "Cumulus". There used to be a picture of a cumulus cloud where the moon phase picture is on the Cumulus main window, but that's now, um, a moon phase picture.

So the short answer to your question is: no, there aren't any. And if you would like to do some that would be brilliant.

Okay... these are more like buttons, rather than banners...

Nice. I'll have to start working out the best places to use them:

Needs some more thought. Maybe better centred, underneath everything else?

Perhaps an even smaller one might look better. I would add padding on the left of the image so the other content doesn't butt right up to it.

I added a smaller image to my posting above.

I will create some more styles when I get more time...

I think the colours need adjusting too, to fit our web pages (as I see you've done on your web pages). Mrs L is a bit fussy about her colour schemes :)

I've created three color schemes....

Blue
Green (like what I am using)
Steel Blue (which I think might look better on your pages)

All of them can be found at:

I will add more as I see what types of sites people are using (or request).

Definitely don't want to cross Mrs. L. If she has any suggestions, I'm all ears... even at 2am...

the images are exported into the GIF format using a vector graphics package called Xara Xtreme. The square images should be reexported in Ping format since they are not transparent anywhere on the edges.

I will most likely do that in a day or so.

The Vector source that I used to create the images is available if someone wants a copy of it. It might load in Photoshop (haven't tried in a long time) but most likely would need Xara to load and use them.

I am using the current version of Xara Xtreme 4 Professional, though they should work in the basic Xara Xtreme 4 version. These images don't have any of the professional features being used on them.
