Greetings Desert Bus fans and viewers!
Graham here, and I need your help! Specifically, with this year’s achievement graphics. Previously, we’ve crowdsourced a number of these graphics during the run itself, but this year—for a variety of reasons—we want to actually have them all ready ahead of time. Shocking, I know.
Below you will find this year’s achievement graphic template. I know it doesn’t look like much now, but that’s what we need you for. This year’s style is plain white on the blue background, but if you feel like throwing a little accent colour in there, have some fun with it!
Use this image as a background to create your cheevo-specific image.

It’s pretty straightforward, all you have to do is: Take a look at the achievements page, pick the cheevo (or cheevos) you’d like to illustrate, and then send your submission in .png format to [email protected] by midnight on Wednesday, November 13th. I’ll be looking at them all prior to the run, and picking my favourite to go on the page.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

One Comment on “Call for Achievement Graphics”

  1. Would you please clarify how you would like the submissions? The achievement icons appear as 125×125 images. The background template is 640×640. Do you want the submissions as:
    1. 125×125 or 640×640 PNGs
    2. Blue gradient background image included or just the overlaid white(ish) PNG with transparency so that the gradient blue (you supply) shows through

    Thanks a heap!
