Darth Maul Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 For Designers. Icon could be an image of a microscope.Good ideia?
sal Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 Yeah, we should brainstorm some ideas here. So I was wondering how µ was actually pronounced, is it 'you' or' mew' or 'moo', and does this mean uTorrent is phonetically called say 'moo-torrent'. Yep, I'm kind of dumb.I was thinking a cow (moo)...surprise surprise.
tjobo Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 I say you-torrent, beacuase it's the shortest and easiest way to pronounce it. Also µTorrent is often written as uTorent so you're actually reading u-torrent instead of mju-torrent.
Xilon Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 µ is pronounced "mew", so µTorrent should oficially be pronounced "mew-torrent". iirc µ is the symbol used for nano meters, which is symbolic to it's size. Here's an idea for an icon: Mew - The pokemon!! lmao

CainKellye Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 µ is the sign for the "micro-" prefix not the "nano-".The "nano-" prefix is η. (Greek small eta)µm is micrometer.µsec is microsec. µTorrent is microtorrent.(But I often read it "you"-Torrent, when I see "uTorrent" insted of "µTorrent"...)
Ryz Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 you-Torrent, eh...?how about an arrow pointing at the user? :grin:
ScubaSteve Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 you-Torrent, eh...?how about an arrow pointing at the user? :grin:lol, what the hells that drawing meant to be.
BloodStaindHurricane Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 you-Torrent, eh...?how about an arrow pointing at the user? :grin:lol, what the hells that drawing meant to be.you don't see that that's an arrow?
ScubaSteve Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 lol, think it needs some touching up
Jared Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 I think it was suppose to be vague, but still enough to get the idea.I see the arrow, don't worry ^-^
eng Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 Here's an idea for an icon: Mew - The pokemon!! lmaoI already suggested that I still think using a gull would be a good icon. Linux has a penguin, Firefox has a red panda, OpenBSD has a pufferfish, etc
Darth Maul Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Posted October 20, 2005 Great! :shock: Make all sizes! 16x16, 32x32.... and .ico format.
eXtr4ktor Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Here's an idea for an icon: Mew - The pokemon!! lmaoI already suggested that I still think using a gull would be a good icon. Linux has a penguin, Firefox has a red panda, OpenBSD has a pufferfish, etclol a red panda? All i see is a fox.
uscfan Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Glad you like it darth maul! I have never made an icon but I suppose it isn't hard. Ill get to work on that!
MechR Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 lol a red panda? All i see is a fox.Mozilla's kind of mixed about that... they said it's a name for the red panda, but they use the flaming fox imagery.Wikipedia says: "The Chinese word 火狐 (fire fox) can refer to the Red Fox or the Red Panda. The latter meaning was popularized by a mistaken comment on a web page of the Wellington Zoo (sometimes quoted as the Bristol Zoo) and later by the Mozilla Foundation."

I hate those little critters! :evil:@ uscfan: awesome job you did there. 8)
MechR Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Heh, I wouldn't mind so much Though, uTorrent might end up getting sued for it.
