Poster-print-quality slackware penguin
Hi
I've been a Slackware user from the start and recently moved to using Mint on my workstations but I think I'll be a Slackware guy at heart forever. I would like to have a glass wall sticker printed for my office, which has a glass wall, to look like this: http://www.slackware.com/~msimons/sl...enguinlogo.jpg But it needs a transparrent background and it needs to be in a vector format (SVG or AI) so that the massive high resolution print looks good. The planned result is a sticker 1.2 meters by 60 cm or so. Does anyone know where I can find such a file? I don't even know who I could contact to ask. |
"reconstructing" slackware's smoking tux should be easily done just by pasting bob's pipe onto a tux svg(1). a vectorized tux is quite easy to find, finding a vectorized bob is not as trivial as that...
you could google for a rather large portrait of bob (in order to start with a decent resolution). a strategy for creating a higher quality svg out of a jpeg would probably consist in cutting the pipe, enlarging it by a little, diffusing, enlarging it, diffusing, enlarging, etc. etc. --- (1) the pipe should be slightly rotated |
check here:
http://slackware-linux-graphics.blogspot.fi/ there are penguins Edit: I guess, what you are looking for is in in these subfolders: ./Slackware.Linux.Graphics/Slackware.Linux.Classic.Tux ./Slackware.Linux.Graphics/Slackware.Linux.Crystallized.Tux there are SVGs :) |
I did remake some Slackware logos 2 years ago: http://ngc891.blogdns.net/?p=74
It's PNG but I provide the XCF source files too. |
Thanks everyone!

I can scale it in gimp to something large enough to print at this size, but I end up with ladders around the high contrast edges. The graphic is so cool I'd probably use it as is anyway, but any chance you have the originals? I probably have enough skills to reassemble it myself. |

I did add metadata to the files, but I just realized it doesn't show up with identify, gimp or geeqie. You can print them using: Code:
$ strings slackware2.png |head -11|tail -5 I did a SlackE17 logo too, that I used for the E17 slackware theme. You can fin it here: http://ngc891.blogdns.net/pub/projec...7/slacke17.png or in the SlackE17 git source tree. |
Thanks for the help guys, I've done it!
