Group Icon ?

[Vincent Brady]

Uncle Bill, why has this group no icon or how do we go about creating one. Surely a photo of any of the Olympus camera's will suffice.

Cheers

Yep, we need one.
I did this today evening:

You have one image to mess around; also I give you my permission to use it as icon, of course.

 

[Uncle Bill]

Icon is on my list of things to do and I am going to use the one Prest 400 has on flickr.

 

[Uncle Bill]

Had to do some re-sizing but we now have an icon. Thank you Prest 400 for giving us permission to use your photo.

I have made a new icon, much better then the photo that I let it to use. The characteristic Prism of the OM-1/2. Size is 128x128

It may need a bit more light near the Olympus logo. But I don't have very good GIMP skills.
1280x1280 size (2.4MB):

Works for me.

The old one looked a bit dark. I retouched the levels, curves and whatever stuff on GIMP. Now it looks correct for me: (256x256px)

There's another that I "over lit" but I'll put also the link: (heavy image)

I've noticed a bit of barrel perspective distortion, but It shouldn't do much harm in the little size of the icon.

I can't help but think that the image is leaning slightly to the LHS or perhaps it's me?
