rolanaj Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I was thinking that it might be fun to have a competition to celebrate our anniversary. We have a lot of realy creative people here at Scots forum what about a friendly competition to design a commemorative wallpaper to celebrate the occasion?

Jeber Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 It sounds like a great idea to little ol' uncreative me. Maybe we can talk Arena2045 into adapting one of his excellent wallpapers for the occasion...(hint, hint) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlim Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 All are fantastic looking Bruno, but the Helix and Planetary Nebuli (is the the plural of Nebula) look too much like an eye to me. I would really get the feeling the Sir Bill was staring at me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patio Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Great shots bruno...Not to stray from the topic idea but i think it's a shame they are not going to support Hubble anymore. Certainly a loss of a great resource.patio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Thanks Zlim and Patio . . . but I was just trying to kickstart this thread that stayed unanswered for so long . . . I was hoping that more people would start making SNLF wallpapers after they did see a few simple examples BrunoPS: Zlim . . . if Sir Bill is giving you nightmares . . . maybe it is time to have a look at Linux ??
