I'm going to post my ideas as I make them, and edit my submission post accordingly.



Try reversing the gif immediately afterwards so it's a smooth transition in and out.

I'm definitely going to think up a way to make this look cool by Friday, yeah...

this is a real good idea

I thank you friend.

The text legibility is probably the main issue, but even besides that it's still pretty plain at the moment.

I feel like the text needs to scale a little to fill the right and bottom of the tag a bit more.

Okay, I bumped the font size up one notch higher and turned off anti-aliasing. How's this?



It's a bit tricky to get the bottom, since the | character hangs lower than the other letters.

I might just go with another font entirely in the end.

Why is it on a black backgorund? It's a simulwatch, so maybe like, text over a clockface? I don't know how easy that would be to get across in such a small space tho

It's mimicking text on a terminal as its theme. It's pretty much a placeholder at this point though.

v3:

I fiddled with cutting off the hanging bottom for the | and shifted its position at the beginning at end so it was more symmetrical. I also added in a bit of a border.

Gimp is probably the most popular free photo editing software. It's what I use.

Yeah, I'm still playing around with ideas.

Guess I'm not going to come up with anything exciting in the next four hours. I made some minor tweaks to the last version I made, so this is what I'm submitting for real.

e: ugh, Gimp hosed up. Give me a sec.

e2: Here we go.

I don't really know why the text looks like it's at 1.5x scaled resolution (it definitely looks sharper in Gimp), but eh.

Looks fine here. Have you checked your browser's zoom setting?

It's at the standard zoom, yeah. It's weird, but if it's fine for everyone else, then I guess it's a non-issue.
