Surefire Pride for your PC!

[LK5GB7]

Presents for CPF!

Well, I know there are alot of surefire enthusiasts out there! And since there really arent any "official" Surefire wallpapers, i decided to conjur some up.

*EDITED* However, out of respect to surefire LLC, they have asked me not to make the wallpapers public. Although this is not legally required, i will out of respect take them down.

-->For your information; surefire has given the "OK" to create your own surefire wallpapers. just keep them to yourself. make them respectable, appropriate, clean and worthy of the surefire name.

:thanks:
did you ask PK for permission to use their company logo?
my current wallpaper is a self shot A2 w/ open SC3 (first and last pic of [1] in the sig )

 

[LK5GB7]

no,

U.S. Trademark and Fair Trade laws allow logos to be used in certain circumstances. such as to be used for educational, viewing, or research purposes.

in this case, the logo is being used for non profit, non commercial reasons. the only problem is if i started to make money or profit off of it, and claim it was MY work. or if i used their logo in a negative way, or linked it to a porn site or something equally inappropriate.

its the same as my HK avatar. its not defacing the logo or being used to make money. not that HK cares, they would rather have their company promoted than try to sue someone for advertising their company. but its legal in any regard

Sometimes perfection lies without the logo...the portrait of the masters for example

PK's no master - he's a major weenie!
(I ain't no master neither btw)
Shelby Chan on the other hand is a master.

 

[Illum]

Al, you have more respect on the forum than you give yourself credit for

PKs....well, what else can we relate to surefire flashlights?
I only know two definitions for major weenie ...
>A person, especially a man, who is regarded as being weak and ineffectual.
>a smooth-textured sausage of minced beef or pork usually smoked; often served on a bread roll

:thinking:

You should merge the two into a dual-walpaper setup

 

[LK5GB7]

what do you mean merge the two? split screen with white on one side and black on the other?

 

[Illum]

I think what ACMarina maybe referring to is a wallpaper made for people who uses a dual screen configuration

 

[buckhunter69]

hey thanks im using one of them

 

[LukeA]

You should merge the two into a dual-walpaper setup

White on left, black on right

Black on left, white on right

Double black

Double white

Hold on, I have to move them to my googlepages, photobucket has size limits. Fixed.

Kind of sad. I am a photographer myself and I have not really shot any of my Surefires for wallpaper's sake. Now that all my Surefires are rather well used I guess it is no point to do so. Shame on me. :duck:

 

[djblank87]

Since were on topic of Surefire wallpaper does anyone have anything else new............?

Great stuff so far, if I wasn't so crappy at photoshop I would get some up :thumbsdow. But since my photo skills suck I wait for you guys.

 

[ACMarina]

Nice Luke! Adding them now

This is much appreciated LK5GB7 :thumbsup:

I´ve been looking for something like this for a loooong time now.

:twothumbs

 

[LK5GB7]

no prob guys. i knew you would love em

if you want an 'official' wide screen version, with just one logo in the center, or if you want a specific size resolution or whatever, i can do that just as easily.

heck, i mean if you guys really like this stuff, i can start doing the other companies too, like fenix, inova, mag, etc.
the only limitation is imagination


djblank87, you'd be suprised. it's not as hard as it is tedeous and time consuming.

95 percent of the work was done in Illustrator not PS. when your simply resizing the logo, illustrator will do. PS for the final touches, which should always be subtle.

 

[Crenshaw]

i think yours was a TAD to saturated...so i modified it..
+a few extras..

what the heck, here are some for fenix too

PS: if you need it in a wider resolution, just open it in paint, input the attributes you want,center the imgage, and fill the rest with black...
