We are now a part of the official Fandom app

^agreed

As long as the image is 1600x1024 pixels, it should be fine.

 

[The_Foolish_Omniscient_Guy]

Think Goku and WW should still be a little closer because Goku's streched out arm makes the image a little wider.

If i do that, Goku's boot will be visible like this (don't mind the dimensions, it's just for showing the problem):

 

[Skalt711]

I don't really understand why the resolution is 1600x1024 when the format in mobile app's front page is akin to portrait and 1600x1024 is the landscape format. Even in the wiki's Fandom app front page the supposed square is a little bit of portrait format than the square or the landscape one, I may mistake this though.

 

[Antvasima]

Well, that is what Mirai Laime told us.

 

[Antvasima]

So should we use this?

 

[Skalt711]

The resolution is not 1600x1024, but you can try submitting it.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thanks. I will wait for some more input first though.

 

[Mira_Laime]

The resolution for the app topic icons we use is indeed 1600x1024 pixels, for technical reasons. The background is transparent, and the character(s) on the image are usually centered in the middle, so there is white space left and right. That white space doesn't show to app viewers, but it needs to be there for the image file to work for the app. In some places in the app, the image will look like a vertical image (e.g. on the topic discovery screen), and in some places (e.g. the carrousel of your followed fandoms up top) it will appear square. That's why that format is a must.

Our Design team uses a template to make sure the characters fit properly in the middle, without elbows and hair cut off, and not taking up too much or too little space. Remember, too, that "VS BATTLES" will appear across the bottom quarter of the icon, so make sure the middle character isn't so short that his face would end up behind the letters.

Edit: Perhaps taking the current image Fandom is using and overlaying it with the one you intend to use instead would help? That way you can make sure the characters sit in the image in the right place, without taking up too much or too little space. I've included it here.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for the information. I suppose that Mario should be a bit bigger then.

 

[AKM sama]

Or we could use the jumping Mario one and place him a little bit higher exactly in the center.

 

[Ogbunabali]

Mario could also jump behind them like Sailor Moon is on the current picture.

 

[Antvasima]

Jumping Mario could also work, yes, as long as he doesn't get either too high (So he blots out WW and Goku) or too low (So the text blots out him instead).

 

[Skalt711]

I see... Thank you for the information, Mira Laime.

Well, I still think that DCEU Wonder Woman needs to be put to represent movies.

 

[Antvasima]

I personally think that the comicbook Wonder Woman image looks better, but that is me.

 

[The_Foolish_Omniscient_Guy]

So should i remake the image with SSB4 Mario with mario being bigger or the image with the jumping Mario?

 

[Skalt711]

Okay. We kind of need to rush things up because we're running out of 500 posts limit

 

[Antvasima]

We still have 108 posts to go, but if we are in danger of running out, you can create a continuation thread.

 

[The_Foolish_Omniscient_Guy]

I've made the image with Super Saiyan Blue 4 SSB4 Mario and the image with the jumping Mario. Now it's up to you guys to choose, personally, i prefer the first one:

 

[Antvasima]

I also like the first one best.

 

[Assaltwaffle]

Jumping Mario is even smaller than standing Mario in those pictures.

 

[The_Foolish_Omniscient_Guy]

@Assaltwaffle

it was Ant who wanted him smaller and the standing Mario is bigger only because the "VS BATTLE" text would have hidden Mario's face.

 

[Antvasima]

I think that you can make jumping Mario bigger.

 

[Antvasima]

Remember to compare with Mira's reference image.

 

[The_Foolish_Omniscient_Guy]

I've checked and compared, it should be alright now. For the standing Mario, the "VS BATTLE" text should not hide his head but only his torso.

 

[Bobsican]

Consideirng Mickey would be about half of the size of Mario, I think he could fit at the side of Goku or Mario while also being in the air if you ask me.

Here is a picture that could fit for such purpose.

 

[Skalt711]

I haven't done anything productive today... Well, I'll go with The Foolish Omniscient Guy's latest image that he made there. Note that there are some uncropped white edges, quite a bit of them are only visible at full resolution, on the used renders.

This is how it'll look with the #0b6bae color background.

 

[Antvasima]

I think that both of the images below look good.

Should we send them both to Fandom and tell them that we prefer the first one with standing Mario, but that they can use the other one if it works better?

 

[The_Foolish_Omniscient_Guy]

@Skalt711

Could you deal with the white edges for me please if necessary. I'm quite tired right now

Edit: Didn't Mirai Laime said that the background must be transparent?

@Ant

I still prefer the first one

 

[Skalt711]

@The Foolish Omniscient Guy

This is just a reference to how the image will look in the app.

 

[Skalt711]

@Antvasima

You can try sending these images to Fandom staff and if they will reject them because of the white edges/halo, I'll try to crop them with the highest possible quality.

@The Foolish Omniscient Guy

Thanks for doing my job , you really can be Images Helper this time!

 

[The_Foolish_Omniscient_Guy]

@Skalt711

You're welcome

@Ant

If Fandom accept to compare, then why not.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will submit the images and mention that you can fix them if necessary.

 

[7th_Ki'oon]

Congratulations, it must be a nice to have the mods work recognised.

 

[Bobsican]

I guess no Mickey then, right?

 

[Skalt711]

^ Yup.

 

[Bobsican]

Fine by me at this point. But it should still be kept in mind, as again, he is easily the best one to portray cartoons, put clear that stuff that "can be taken as a joke" is avaiable and also increase the appeal to the demographics, once again.

 

[AKM sama]

I am curious as to how jumping Mario would look like behind Goku and WW at the top, just like how Sailor Moon is in fandom's original image.

 

[Antvasima]

Probably not very well.

 

[Skalt711]

How's the progress is going on?
