Maybe it could fit into the Kirupa lab section, if they’re Flash based that is?

i guess the term “footer” could mean anything, even animated gifs, i guess. let them handle it since it was their idea. we’ll just moderate :).

Well Flash footers I don’t have a problem with, since this is primarily a Flash site, but animated gifs I’m not convinced by. We’ll see what other mods think… 🙂

i don’t think it deserves its own section. maybe a thread dedicated to it… but not even a sticky thread…

Hehe, thanks Thor =)
But unfortunately the .png images with partial transparency in it makes this puppy 180K, so its too big for the forum, and too big for the footer contest ☹

GIFs don’t support partial transparency, so it gets pixelated, and the partially transparent areas get a solid background, which looks very bad IMO :-\
I think I will try soon to figure out a new way of getting this file size down. I have some ideas kicking in my head 🙂

Yeah, I thought about that… but then I tried it.
It turns out I forgot I can’t draw in Flash to save my life…LOL.
I even tried tracing, still a no-go. Worth another try though 🙂

vectorize the picture in flash. you’ll have to break up the image first.

Well that actually makes the file size bigger believe it or not… :-\ Also more processor intensive as well. Sometimes crashes my computer.
