Unofficial CoG Desktop and Phone Wallpapers

[Doctor Setebos]

I was itching to have a CoG desktop wallpaper and, oddly enough, a CoG background for my phone, and so I decided to take matters into my own hands and create them myself with my meager graphic design skills.

These are completely unofficial images, not sanctioned by any member of the CoG foundership, and I apologize in advance if making and posting these steps on anyone's toes. I know that Mike likely has official CoG wallpapers on his to-do list, and when they're available, I have no doubt in my mind that they will absolutely be at least 10x greater in quality and craftsmanship than anything I could haphazardly hobble together. In the meantime, we have these. Feel free to download at will.

I will take orders on different sizes for the phone background - I designed the initial one based on my own phone's dimensions. Just PM me (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/private.php?do=newpm&u=233) with your phone make and model, and I'll resize to fit and post it here in case anyone has the same phone. If I get the time, I'll also make a 1600w wallpaper, as well, I just haven't done it yet.

Comments are welcome! But please don't ask me to make minor -- or even major -- tweaks to the existing designs, just because you don't like how something looks. If you don't like it, I'll send you the original file, you can tweak it to your liking. These come as is, with only dimension alterations to be considered.

Enjoy!

UPDATE: There's too many creations and variations to keep updating here, so I'm just going to post a LINK TO THE WALLPAPERS PAGE (http://fileflood.googlepages.com/cog-walls.html), where you can find all of the designs, along with links to every available dimension alternative we create. Here's some quick thumbnails of what designs have become available (I can only add 4 images to a post, so as the selection grows, these might rotate to give everyone an idea of what's available).

[Sandman]

I don't know what dimensions the iPhone requires.

[Doctor Setebos]

I don't know what dimensions the iPhone requires.320x480. Should I make an iPhone one?

[Sandman]

320x480. Should I make an iPhone one?

Yeah, it's a popular phone around here.

[Doctor Setebos]

Added an iPhone background.

[Ghostbear]

1680 x 1050 ?

[Wraith]

Other popular wallpaper sizes:

PSP: 480 x 272
PS3: 1920 x 1080

I don't ask for myself, but figure these would be useful for the community.

[Haemorrhage]

hmmm, I wonder how this would look as my Xbox 360 background.

[Mr. Murphy]

I'd like a widescreen one. I run at 1360x768.

Also if you want to try some different color schemes I'm sure it would be appreciated.

I would assume this doesn't step on our Art Directors toes - I don't think being responsible for the direction of something means you are the only person who is allowed to contribute. I guess it would just be up to him whether or not these go on some 'official downloads' page.

[hunterx280]

The LG one works just fine on a Blackberry Pearl.

[pseudopseudo]

The only request I'd make is for one that looks slick as an Xbox 360 background.

Other than that... Doc, you're the man - as always!

[fitbabits]

Good job, Doc. YTMND!

[Spectre-7]

Very cool, Doc!

I've got a secret love for making wallpapers, and you inspired me to put together one of my own this afternoon. I tried to keep it kinda simple, and luckily got to reuse some the cog model. :)

http://home.pacbell.net/ven_rand/cog_starscape_desktop.jpg

[Doctor Setebos]

PSP 480x272 background added to the OP.

[Doctor Setebos]

Xbox 360 background added to the OP. It's essentially a 1280x1024 desktop background, but with the centered cog and text to accommodate the 360 blades.

[Doctor Setebos]

PS3 background added to the OP. That's probably all for tonight. I'll get the wide resolutions requested put together sometime tomorrow.

[Mr. Murphy]

I can't be the ONLY one who uses a widescreen monitor??

[DeathtollWRX]

Very cool. I dig them all. The 3d one is my favorite.

[Xerxes]

320x480. Should I make an iPhone one?

Isn't it 480×320?

[axion]

If you are holding it sideways all the time.

[Raen]

I can't be the ONLY one who uses a widescreen monitor??

I've resized and cropped them for 1280x800 (my laptop's resolution) if that's any good.

[Deunnero]

These are nice. Thanks.

[Zrikz]

I love the Cog one Spec, any chance of a 1680x1050 ?

What program do you use to make the cog btw?

[Shadowstorm]

You can put your own background on the Xbox 360?

[Doctor Setebos]

I put up a new design in the OP that's a variation on the original called "Non-conformist CoGs". Only a 1280x1024 wallpaper at the moment, if anyone wants a different size/format variant of this, please just let me know.

I'm going to work up some brand new designs soon that aren't just slight alterations of the existing design. I might get one of those posted this weekend.

Enjoy!

[Purple Santa]

You can put your own background on the Xbox 360?

I'm almost positive you can. I remember reading other threads in EvAv how many don't like "buying" themes and such and created their own. I'm guessing this would be similar.

Great stuff Doc! I'm going to use some of them.

[Troggles]

Is there somewhere we can get some the sites graphics so that we may make our own backgrounds? I like the ones I see here, but I prefer a wallpaper with less detail. Maybe something that just has the Cog and the sites name in the bottom corner on all black.

[Raen]

Can I humbly request 1280 x 800 of the "Non-conformist CoGs" design? I managed to resize and crop everything else, but that one'd be a little tricky.

[Spectre-7]

I love the Cog one Spec, any chance of a 1680x1050 ?

What program do you use to make the cog btw?

Glad ya like it... I aim to please. :)

The bad news is that I made the starscape natively at 1280x1024, so any resizing is going to either involve resampling the image(stretched pixels... blech), or creative cropping and framing (i.e. Bioshock Widescreening). I'll see what I can do when I've got a few minutes, though. :(

The cog was modeled and rendered in Blender (http://www.blender.org/), the 3D graphics solution of cheapskates, open source enthusiasts and mad-men. ;)

[Doctor Setebos]

Can I humbly request 1280 x 800 of the "Non-conformist CoGs" design? I managed to resize and crop everything else, but that one'd be a little tricky.Absolutely. Give me a few minutes.

[Raen]

Absolutely. Give me a few minutes.

Much love Doc.

[fitbabits]

Absolutely. Give me a few minutes.

You said that half-an-hour ago! :)

[Doctor Setebos]

I'd like a widescreen one. I run at 1360x768.

Can I humbly request 1280 x 800 of the "Non-conformist CoGs" design?These have been added to the OP. Look under the "Variations and alternatives" for each design.

You said that half-an-hour ago! :)I got busy working on more alternatives! Sue me. :p

[AniAko]

I <3 you guys...

But why no 1920x1200 love? :(

[Doctor Setebos]

Just added a new design, "Blue CoG" to the OP. If you like it and want alternative dimensions, let me know.

Anyone have a design idea? PM me (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/private.php?do=newpm&u=233) and I'll see if I can make it happen.

[Doctor Setebos]

I <3 you guys...

But why no 1920x1200 love? :(Because no one's requested one! ;)

[AniAko]

Because no one's requested one! ;)

1920x1200 Rez PLZ KTHXBAI :D

[Doctor Setebos]

1920x1200 Rez PLZ KTHXBAI :DAny design in particular? I don't think Spectre's design can go beyond 1280.

[Troggles]

I really like that Blue cog one. It's perfect for resizing for widescreen.

[Mr. Murphy]

These are great, thanks!

[DangerousDaze]

Fantastic stuff!

[VerseD]

Very nice wallpapers. Good work.

[Spectre-7]

Alright, here's a resized version of the starscape wallpaper for widescreen displays. It's a little less than ideal, but I wasn't crazy about the idea of repainting the stars at a higher resolution.

http://home.pacbell.net/ven_rand/cog_starscape_1900.jpg

I suppose that'll teach me not to produce assets at the intended final res... always, always, always overshoot your target. You'll appreciate it later. :)

[Everyone vs Dinosaurs]

I love you, and I love you all.

I suppose that'll teach me not to produce assets at the intended final res... always, always, always overshoot your target. You'll appreciate it later. :)Added this to the OP.

I've also created a special off-site page for collecting all of the various wallpapers (http://fileflood.googlepages.com/cog-walls.html), as there will likely be more to come in the future, and I can only have a maximum of four images in one single post. This way it's also much easier to see which size dimensions are missing so I can add them at a later date.

Speaking of which, any size alternatives people have requested that I've missed so far? I'd hate to leave someone out.

[Doctor Setebos]

EDIT: Fixed resolution issue on Comrade CoG.

[Wraith]

I made a couple for phones with lower-res screens. These are at 176x220, which is the resolution my Motorola E815 uses, and a number of other Motorola phones use the same resolution.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/wraithakamrak/phone/blue_cog_small01.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/wraithakamrak/phone/cog_yellow01.jpg

These were just resized/touched up from larger pieces in the OP.

[AniAko]

Man, this is just WOW. There's a lot of creativity going into all these wallpapers. I'd like all of them in 1920x1200 :) You guys are doing an excellent job, there should be someplace official to keep all the designs we end up liking :)

[Wackman3000]

Spectre, Feel like making yours for a 1680x1050 res?

[Doctor Setebos]

Raen and Wraith - thank you both SO MUCH for taking the initiative for making new dimension alternatives for my wallpapers. I really appreciate the effort. I'll get them linked in the OP this afternoon (I'm just flying through on my way to a birthday party at the moment, or I'd do it now).

Seriously - thank you! :D

Lol it took like 5 minutes.

Spectre, Feel like making yours for a 1680x1050 res?

Just use the 1920 Wackman. It's the same ratio, it should look fine.

EDIT: I've just realised I did my Comrade CoG at 1900 instead of 1920. I'll fix it and edit the post.

[Spectre-7]

Just use the 1920 Wackman. It's the same ratio, it should look fine.

This. And if your desktop is scaling it poorly, you can just toss it into Photoshop or Gimp or what-have-you and scale the image down. That's all I'd be doing to it.

I'm posting some updated versions that use a different cog model. The widescreen version of this should have slightly better fidelity as well.

Great work guys, looks awesome. Spectre, might I suggest moving the Colony of Gamers in the corner up a tad? I know that on my screen (1680x1050) the start bar blocks it just a tiny bit, not a huge deal, just a suggestion. Keep up the good work.

I hadn't noticed this till now. It does cut off the bottom third or so of the text.

[AboveAvgCharles]

Hey Spectre, I have an idea for your awesome design. Depending on the difficulty, it would be neat to model a little CoG spaceman floating through space with a spotlight shining faintly on the CoG logo, like he's approaching the monolith or something. Just a cool visual that popped into my mind.

[axion]

Absolutely. Image updated.

Awesome man, thanks.

[Raen]

That's a good idea. I'll see what I can put together. No promises though, since my character modeling skills are a little *ahem* rough. ;)

No worries, seeing as mine are entirely nonexistent. The wallpaper is awesome already, so no pressure.

Also, Raen, I think I'm going to use your blue design as my Xbox 360 theme. I like. :)

Ah I just resized and cropped em. Credit goes to the good Doctor for designing em. I can do graphical work if I have a target in mind, but creativity is not a strong point.

[AboveAvgCharles]

Credit given where credit is due, then. Like the blue CoG, Doc.

[pseudopseudo]

If I could twist anyone's arm to make an iPhone version of the Blue CoG one on the black background, I'd be much obliged. (I'd do it myself, but I've not been able to find the time lately.) :(

I was thinking something like this too, or maybe even a couple little bubble colonies in the middle of the COG or something.

Thanks again, Raen. I haven't been online too much this weekend, and likely won't be online a whole lot this coming week. I have consultants coming in this week and won't have many opportunities to tear away and lurk CoG. Or play around with wallpapers. :rolleyes:

[Doctor Setebos]

Updated the OP with a link to the wallpaper page (http://fileflood.googlepages.com/cog-walls.html) and a handful of thumbnails. It was getting crowded there, and difficult to maintain links to all the different sizes and alternative designs. It's much easier to do it this way.

[Raen]

I'm more than happy to resize any wallpapers that can be done easily. It's not like it takes a lot of effort and I'm only a student so people just assume that I do work rather than being checked up on.

[Arphahat]

Thanks for these! I've downloaded them all and will probably cycle through them as I tire of looking at one or another. I'm using the stars one now.

[Spectre-7]

Okee-dokee... here's my first run at a version with an astronaut, obviously based on the designs in the CoG banner. I'm not 100% pleased with it yet, so expect some alternate versions to be forthcoming.

Flickr. It's like $50 I think for 2 years unlimited hosting. Of course it only supports JPG, PNG, and unanimated GIFs, file size limit is 20MB per picture, but it suffices for me.

[Doctor Setebos]

On a side note, I'm running out of webspace. Anyone have any recommendations for hosting images in the 300k-500k range?Flickr isn't bad, but they sometimes randomly crack down on images that aren't true "photos". I use Google Pages for all my random web hosting needs. 100MB of space for free. You can create as many Pages accounts as you want. I have about 10, myself.

[Wraith]

On a side note, I'm running out of webspace. Anyone have any recommendations for hosting images in the 300k-500k range?I don't know if it suits your purposes or not, but I'm pretty happy with Photobucket.

The limits (http://photobucket.com/faq?catID=29&catSelected=f&topicID=331) for free accounts (http://photobucket.com/faq?catID=29&catSelected=f&topicID=320) are:

1 GB total storage
25 GB monthly bandwidth limit
1 MB file size limit


There's also the option to use a dimension limit of 1024x768, without the file size limit, but that's pretty small so I stick with the 1 MB limit. I think you can actually switch back & forth between them, so if you have an animated GIF that's >1MB but <1024px, you could change settings, upload it, then change back.

The Pro (paid) accounts bump up to 10GB storage space, 5MB or 2240x1680 image size max, and no bandwidth limit.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/wraithakamrak/pbstats_2008-10-27.png
My current stats.

Albums can be private (you can direct-link images, but others need a password to browse), or public (anyone can browse). There are ads on the photobucket site, but AdBlock Plus gets rid of most of them.

One thing, looking around the FAQs, I noticed this (http://photobucket.com/faq?catID=29&catSelected=f&topicID=323):Photobucket reserves the right to remove Free accounts that are not accessed at least once every 90 days. It is always a good idea to log into your Photobucket account periodically to ensure that it stays active and that you have your correct account information.Didn't even know they had such a policy...

As always when I'm bored, I do stuff that is probably not needed..

I made a photo gallery everyone can use if you wish to upload pics / movies / music / etc.

You can upload images from the web, through zip files, from desktop, etc. Can do all kinds of stuff I'm too lazy to figure out atm, but I uploaded all of Docs wallpaper images just by putting his link into the upload form and it picked them all up.


You can hotlink images and everything still as well.

More updates on our little friend, the astronaut. I ran him through a different renderer, and I'm pretty pleased with the results.

I'm releasing the 16:9 version first, since I completely skipped out on you guys on the last version. 8x6 will be coming soon. You also have a choice between a crisp version, and one with some ham-handed depth-of-field blurring.

[AboveAvgCharles]

I really dig the different render and the change of placement on the spaceman. One thing I do want to touch on constructively though is the spotlight. Spaceman is in the foreground, more or less 3/4 view facing forward, yet he's shining the light on the cog behind him in the background. Makes for a sore wrist, sort of awkward looking.

What if you could move him a little bit into the background, with the cog being in the foreground? You could leave the positioning the same or similar on the spaceman, and have his torch lighting up the underside of the inside curve on the C. Just a thought, I really like it as it already is. :) Keep up the good work.

[Doctor Setebos]

Any chance at a PS3 CoG theme? Does anyone still have the instructions/files necessary to make a PS3 theme? The EvAv one was cool, and sadly I lost it when I upgraded the hard drive and forgot to back up everything.

Just in case someone wanted it.

I went ahead and nabbed that, thanks!

Well, for the PS3, it's not just a wallpaper. All the system icons can be replaced, and you can also add sounds. You can also have multiple wallpapers in one theme, and it will cycle through them.

No, not working on that. Sorry. :(

Here's the next in the system series: the CoGstation.

Oh, very nice! I've got that rust-colored one right now, but that's tempting me...

I thought the PS3 secondary color was like royal blue. O_o

Great job with the wallpapers, guys. I've already saved a few of the 1920x1200 versions!

I think the royal blue was more of a PS2 thing. If I had to color code everything, the 360 would be green, Wii would be blue, and PS3 would be red by default. Honestly, it's probably more of a gray, but I go with red because it just makes sense with the other two colors being green and blue.

Yeah, it's a theme, using the word in the traditional sense. It replaces all the icons, sounds, wallpaper, etc. Icondeveloper is free now, or has a free version, if you wanted to play around and make something Rogue. I can't imagine making little cogs for the icons would be very tough.

Only one problem might come up though. The free version probably has limited choices for file types to use/save. I'm not sure how easy it would be to find something that converts what you get into what the ps3 needs.

Nothing's coming up? Is the link broken? Checked the pagesource and the link takes you to a gallery updater.

The colours are black and white for the PS3, no mistake about it. They're trying to be sleek and sexy (and I approve). Red would be okay because they sometimes brandish the PS logo in red. But, if anything, it would be white like the PS3 logo.

I have a few suggestions for the "Spaceman Approaching CoG" image. I keep have these really epic expectations. I think that image would look incredible if there were far less stars, and if it were a lot darker. The spaceman's flashlight would be just enough to light up the whole CoG. Think "Oh hey, I'm an astronaut! What's this? I've found some sort of foreign object in the vast expanse of space? Cool!"
