Design a cover image or banner for our Facebook page (and/or another social media site) #10BRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 72 hrs Mentors: SeanTags: design, graphics, 2D, facebook, image, artwork

BRL-CAD got a relatively new logo. The website is undergoing major changes. So this re-branding of BRL-CAD also requires a good, well designed and attractive cover photo for the BRL-CAD's Facebook page and other social media facades. It should feature a good tagline (our official is "open source solid modeling") or showcase some killer feature of BRL-CAD, BRL-CAD's new logo and/or some illustration/image regarding the feature highlighted.

It should be consistent with the color scheme of our new website design.  Please avoid a military-centric theme and cheesy bylines (you can use "Open Source Solid Modeling" or something else simple).   Make it look impressive, awesome.  Be simple, but be awesome.

New website design:

You may also get some inspiration from our recent book creation:

  • http://flossmanuals.net/contributors-guide-to-brl-cad/

Submit one image of the banner image by itself and another example mock-up image showing how it will look on our Facebook page.  Any image format will do just fine.

There are duplicates of this task as we solicit ideas and inspiration. Look at the other completed GCI "facebook" tasks and make yours look even better. Do not claim more than one without discussing with us first.

Hah, I like it!  A few minor changes to request:



  • BRL-CAD needs a dash, always.

  • BRL-CAD is not centered vertically in the space.

  • Make the three centers of the gear logo white.

  • Make the "light gray" background match facebook's light blue background...

  • Replace the tank with something else interesting (not a tank).

  • Try to make all the background images not overlap.

Sean on December 20 2013 06:47 UTCwrong background

I meant making the inner "stripe" where there's text match the facebook color, not the larger exterior portion...  That way, the stripe will look like it's a window over the background images.


Other than that, the other changes look pretty cool.
