Where can I find some?
-
Link (http://www.letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=1280x1024+AMIGA+backdrops+for+Workbench)
-
google for "pixel girl presents" for funky backdrops, find one you like, then dump it into photogenics and embose "amiga" over the top with 50% transparency.
always a winner :-)

@meega
haha I already searched Aminet. They all have that icky "new" Amiga logo.
@Graphicians
I need one with the Amiga 1000 style logo:
AMIGA in helvetica italic (bold?)
+ The rainbow checkmark.
On a nice dark bluish background texture.
Maybe some nice person could make me one?
I will be your friend if you do. :-)
It would be nice to have a 1920x1080 version also. That is the resolution of my monitor.
My relatives are coming to visit for the holidays.
I need to impress them with my hires miggy. :-)
Amiga rules!

Pixel Girl Presents
Gee...
(http://www.pixelgirlpresents.com/images/desktops/carlos_lopez/Usha-1024x768_tmb.jpg)
All of those looks like "just for girls" wallpapers...
Is that a "Rainbow" website? :destroy:
-
What color depth?
-
@JimS
24/32 bit 16 million colors of course. :-)
My relatives have never seen anything more advanced than the A500. Lets give them a heart attack :-D
-
Finished two minutes ago ;-)

Maybe... You want?!? :lol:
-
YES! :love:

@hbarcellos
aha, i see... what was it they say about first impressions? oh well, never mind. :lol:
-
I did four kind of this wallpaper and I'm going to post'em on Imageshack (hoping that 7,8 Meg size is not too heavy...)
I will post urls when done (aka as soon as I can ;-))

AMIGA in helvetica italic (bold?)
I always thought it was "New Century Schoolbook" italic.
-
@Yorgle
I don't know the font name. I was just guessing ottomh.
@Jambalah
Awesome! Thanks! I like the glowing yellow and glowing blue ones the best. You saved my xmas from a dreary desktop!
I will use ur backdrop on a 61" monitor.
-
Man... every time I see the words "Only Amiga" now, I remember that guy singing at youtube!
hehehhee....
WHY HE DID THAT ANYWAY? Is he an user here @amiga.org?
-
:lol: It's a merely coincidence!!
I've never seen that video. So....
LustyAmiga (http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lustyamigarg3.png)
Hope You like that! :-)
@ChaosLord:
It's been a pleasure!!! If I'll be able I'll post more of that!!

I took a stab at it.......
Number 4 (http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/9923/basicamiga1920x10803d03fl7.jpg)
And a very similar one....
Number 3 (http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/7295/basicamiga1920x10803d04km9.jpg)
And then there's ....
Amigabrella (http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/8341/amigabrellayg6.jpg)
I kinda like this one, even though it's only 1024x768... no big plasma screen here. :-(

@JimS
#3 is my fave! ... but... I really wish all the letters were the same color... or nearly so. I like the lighting fx on the background just fine. I just don't seem to like them on the lettering.
Your font seems to be the real deal. :ThumbsUp:
-
OK, Easy enough to do with Photoshop.....
try this one for size.
Number 5 (http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/4414/basicamiga1920x10803d05ve4.jpg)
The Font is "The Real Deal" because it isn't a font. ;-) Back when I worked at an Amiga dealer, I scanned in the artwork Commodore sent us to use for advertising. It's a graphic...
Take Your Pick ;-) (http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/2809/boingpick2tn5.jpg)

@JimS:
WHOOOOOOOOAAAA!!! Really good!!!
Congratulations for those pieces of Amiga art.
My favs?!? The A-Girls, of course!!! ;-)
:cheers:
-
Nice backdrops :-o
Thanks :-D
Now, how do I pick one...
I wanted to do some graphics in the late 90'ies, but I'm no good at that :-(
-
@JimS
Yes! The font is perfect in #5! Nice solid blue. My fave color. But I really liked the background texturiness of #3 better.
AmigaSpirit++ for scanning in those Commodore brochures.

Although I don't use an ameega, I use some of the walls linked from that site from time to time, applying some saturation tunes some of them nicely for my tango based desktop.

Jambalah :
Thanks...
I'm kinda fond of the pulpish 40's-50's art myself.
Thanks also for the checkmark... I lifted it from yours. :-)
-
JimS:
I believe it! And I like it, too!!
Oh, I thought to give you all the logo (It's not my creation)so you can work on it in a much more comfortable way.

Amiga Art!!
But.... Just a moment................
JimS?!?!?!?!?!
You.. maybe... Ehm... Jim Sachs!?!?!? :-o :crazy: :-)
-
Anyone got some that are AGA friendly?
I'm after something in 1024x768 but what still looks good in 64 colours running on HighGFX 1024x768. Everyhing I've tried so far either looks terriable (colour-depth too high) or uses up too much chip-ram.
:-D

I'm flattered that you might think so, but no, I'm not Jim Sachs. He is a real artist. ;-)

How about this one?
64 Colors (http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/5896/basicamiga1024x7683dbsk6.gif)
This is my current wallpaper, nothing to do with Amiga, and not safe for AGA. :-)
