Logos, Icons and gfx packs (1 Viewer)

[Dadeo]

Really nice logos can make a huge difference in the visual appearance of your skin and MediaPortal.

I am constantly hunting for nice logos for aMPed, which includes many logos already in the \skin\aMPed\Media\Logos folder. For further info on aMPed logo options, see the aMPed wiki > Custom Logos

This thread is for anyone to post any great logo packs they find or create.

Please include a screenshot/sample, and a zip file of the logos, or a link to such a file.


Thanks!

AW: Logos

How about those from the XBMC skin BackRow?
I have attached them, but I think we should ask djdafreund for permission.

They look great ixdvc - do you have a link? Or, can you post a zip file? Thx.

(Pretty) please (with sugar on top):
Make sure to respect any given (c)-rights. Iow - don't post a zip file of these unless you are certain that it is allowed. (I guess Dadeo will make sure before he uses any logos as well).

Thanks for the reminder Spragleknass. The ones posted so far on our google code site were done for MediaPortal by MP users and are used in other skins also. As for ixdvc's flagging.zip - I assume if logos are used in XBMC skins they are open source? Is that right?

Many images from the web may be licensed under a creative commons license. There are several types of licenses, so be sure to check if the license allows use, alteration, distribution or whatever.

EDIT: Just to clarify, all creative works are automatically copyright. Even if an image does not say it is copyright, it still is. That means you cannot use it without permission of the artist/creator/owner. That is why the creative commons license was started, to enable creators to give a general license to use their work so they do not have to give permission to each person, but can still 'protect' their creative works. The whole field is ridiculously confusing - see Basic Copyright Issues on Wikipedia. In general practice, personal use, not for profit, may be considered 'fair use' but there is no guarantee. So, the safest way is to use only images that show a creative commons license, or are clearly listed in the public domain as free images.

Yes, by all means ask first! I think it is always courteous to ask an artist about using their work whether they are copyright or not.

Hi,
In the attachment you can find a short description how to add extra logos/links to aMPed with MultiShortcut.
I use this to execute and open several programs from my aMPed menu with my remote or touchscreen. Very usefull for me and maybe for others as well...
