OMG CANADIAN STAMPS *runs*
Good job mediaman, you kick arse
Good job mediaman, you kick arse
Those Canadian stamps are the best! I can't stand any more portraits of the toothy queen bee, personally.
Where did you get the postal mark overlay or how did you guys extract it?

I re-drew it in Illustrator, then imported it into Photoshop (both file's still available from above post's), so you can change the 'hello from (wherever)' text.
The Photoshop transpanency, so the postmark looks the same on the stamp and off it is a but tricky though.

What do ya think? I think the queen bee looks cool enough to be in my dock now. Is there a simple way to change the Hello From text in Photoshop? 99% of the time people have their icons smaller than 128 x 128, so the text isn't really readable anyway -- but it would be fun to say Hello from England on it. If you guys want a red and yellow one, let me know. |
Very cool.
There is no way (I know of) in the current Photoshop to do text along a path. The Stockley Park UB. address I used is of Apple UK.
Like Cupitino CA. (sp?) is the Apple HQ address.
The 1st class stamp that is yellow on the UK Post Office site, is in fact Gold metalic in real life (I wasn't sure how to achieve this in the icon that's why mine was the old red one).
that's what I was thinking.
if you still got the illustrator post mark file, please post.

Here's a USA stamp I whipped up using mediamans postmark template and some images I found A lil more patriotic than the one above, and we all know how patriotic most americans are
Sorry for posting these in png form, but I dont have a mac currently and I dont know of any windows apps that will spit out mac icons. I'm sure there are editors that can convert these into an icon for you

I'd never put the American flag anywhere on my system. I don't want a flag which symbolizes imperialism, illegal use of force and power, propaganda, lies, half-truths, and Dictator George Bush! The real American patriots are against American military invasions of other countries!
The only American Flag I recognize is the one with 13 stars!
