Gather graphics - spice up your comments and pings!

April 21, 2008 12:06 AM EDT (Updated: April 21, 2008 07:20 PM EDT)

I noticed that a lot of folks were using images in comments and pings these days. I thought I'd try my hand at making some.  I used some clipart for these, as I can't draw - but I think they came out pretty nice!

To use them, just copy the code under the image you want to use and paste it into a comment or ping.   Let me know if there's any problems, or if there's any suggestions you have for future graphics!

Well, they're certainly much better looking than that sparkly stuff. Still doesn't mean I'd want one.

Are you allowed to use the Gather logo? TOS would seem to indicate otherwise, unless you have prior permission:

"Gather, gather.com, and the Gather logo are trademarks and service marks of Gather and other Gather logos and product and service names are trademarks and service marks of Gather (collectively, the "Gather Marks"). Without Gather's prior permission, you agree not to display or use in any manner, the Gather Marks."

You did a nice job creating these but I don't like the idea of promoting this at all. I noticed that a lot of people were including generic pictures with their generic comments and wished they would stop.

Sandy - It isn't my intent to promote generic commenting. I just thought that I'd provide those who like leaving pictures with some that were Gather-specific to use instead of the glittery ones from myspace and the like.

I think these are great Laura, find out if Gather has a problem with them (the one's using Gather's name and design , I doubt it , since they are complimentary , but I wouldn't mind a smaller one, if it is okay, let me know and I will tell you what I would like it to say, you are so good at these things, beyond me.

Uh, pants - as much as I like Kevin , I've known how to use HTML for a lot longer than I've known Kevin.

Also, these are copy and paste graphics, not how to format a comment.

I can definitely make some smaller ones - just let me know what you'd like it to say.

And I plan on asking Gather first thing tomorrow, so I'll let you know what they say about the logo!

Pants (x2) - unless you're saying you want me to credit the IMG tag, in which case I'd like to thank the creators of HTML, for making the rockin' image tag, way back when the internets was formed.

You know, with the ones I've made and the ones Jean has made and Monica saying she's going to make some soon - we should get together and make a group for these!

This way they'd all be in one place for everyone who wants to find and use them. :)

Of course, reading through the thread I see you prove the old adage that you can't please everyone.

Laura,
Thats cool , since I am a newbie .....I guess kind of stupid on these TAGS????
I had no idea how to use them ...but I guess I ll have to play around with them and keep practicing till I get it right !!! Yeah I would mind you doing my logo for me it was for my eBay but right now not doing eBay but would love to use it here. Its green all around in the middle is like cut out Heart and my doxie named Angel I had put inside the heart but I would like to have it sparkly or something to make it jump out at you.
Just let me know if you could do something like that for a logo/icon/Tag
Thank you
God Bless

Laura,

I applaud your creativity, but wouldn't want to encourage this in the community. In my experience, these lead to cookie cutter comments with little thought given to the content or the author/publisher. Most members don't post an image along with a personal note about the content itself, which is ultimately more meaningful than a pasted image seen on hundreds of other articles.

Also, some images can contribute to displaced text in a comment thread which is very aggravating.

Nice work, although I'll echo the point made above about using the Gather logo. Case in point, I was asked to remake a group logo because it contained a lowercase g which too closely resembled the Gather Essentials group logos.

Which font did you use?

Just to let folks know, I checked on the status of the images using the Gather logo, and found out that we're not allowed to use the logo in images (oops). I'll be changing them later tonight to just say "I love my Gather friends!" and "I love Gather!" without the inclusion of the logo. Because I'm just replacing the existing files, if you already posted them somewhere, don't worry- they should update when I update the image. =)

"Because I'm just replacing the existing files, if you already posted them somewhere, don't worry- they should update when I update the image."

I'm not suggesting that you do so, but that sounds like the groundwork for pulling a rather awesome prank. Although judging by people's moods around here lately, now's probably not a good time for that. :)

Hi Laura!

Thanks for asking the Support Team about the use of Gather's logo in this article and in comments. First, I absolutely applaud your creativity and your willingness to share what you have learned about adding images to comments. Thank you! However, the Gather logo is trademarked and is reserved for Gather's official use only.

We love to see members showing their support of Gather and the friends they have met on Gather. When you do so, please use a unique font and image that is not a copy of Gather's trademarked logo. Thanks for understanding!

Updated to edit the images that had previously used the Gather logo.

I will be adding more graphics as I make them, including some smaller ones for those who want to put something at the bottom of their comment - look for more soon!
