  • I am glad you liked it :)

    I made a replacement banner and a screenshot preview:

    The preview: screenshot

    And the image file in gif: DIY_Drones_Logo_Updated_IKE.gif

    This is just the existing concept with the new drone, I think it looks ok, if you want any alterations (ex the drone with the gear down) I am happy to do them.
  • Far out man!

    IKE, that's terrific! Could you put it on the banner so we can see how it fits with the text? If it looks good, I'd be happy to switch to that (and send you some cool DIY Drones swag as a thanks).
  • It is a real photo, here is the link: http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/Ikhana/HTML/ED07-0038-085.html

    I mirrored it in order to fit in the header with a similar pose.
  • I made a vector trace of the Ikhana Predator B based on this image from NASA Dryden (it is mirrored):


    I made 3 versions:




    If you prefer it I can make an updated version of the header or send an email with the adobe illustrator file to Chris or whoever manages the website.

    My personal opinion is that if we have to choose from an existing UAV and not something abstract like a logo, the Predator drones are the best choice because they are the most advanced and well known and also are the pioneering project on this field (especially if we consider the work of the great Abe Karim on the Amber, the Predators predecessor).

    I vote for the baseball bat, especially if somebody flies one
  • How about turning the header into rainbows and hearts and peace signs??? :D|

    Honestly I don't see why some people are freaking out over drones, I loved the original banner and I like the new one as well. Why do people freak out and think drones are evil killing machines... In 2005 nearly 600 people were killed with blunt objects, like baseball bats. Should we put up posters that say when baseball bats are used to attack, people die?
  • There's just no pleasing some people
