Hey, go to the wikipedia article for Pikmin to get the japanese name. Type it into google and translate the japanese wikipedia page. Its so funny XD. Also, they have a lot of information.

Look at this picture XD: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amocarski/1520870216/ [[User:IAMAHIPO ocolor|<span style="color:Black">IAMAHIP<b>O_o</b></span><span style="color:Red">c</span><span style="color:#ddbb00">o</span><span style="color:Blue">l</span><span style="color:Purple">o</span><span style="color:Grey">r</span>]] 01:11, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey guys, lets have a contest to design a new web icon. The blue Pikmin is a bit... creepy, no offense. It has to be 16 pixels wide, and 16 pixels high. [image removed] rough 16x16 grid.

:Er, I don't get why you made a grid; we all know what 16x16 means.  I sort of get what you mean by 'creepy'...and a better one would be good.  '''Make sure to save it as BMP or PNG''', though, before converting to ICO.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

I did 16x16 grid so you can copy + paste into word, and plan it easily with the fill button.

:Okay, but I don't use Word.  Anyway, wouldn't it be easier just to resize the area thing in Paint to 16x16, then zoom to 800% and use the pencil?{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::Admitted, I could have gotten a better one. But what should it be? Red, Yellow and Purple Pikmin don't fit due to their facial features. White would look "creepy" aswell. Louie wasn't accepted, so would be Olimar. What else is there? A "'''P'''"? A sprout?--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

:::I actually liked the Louie icon, but I guess I could see why some people thought it looked like an old lady. Anyway, think there's enough space to do a small Onion, maybe without the stilts? Maybe even just a flower, white or pink.

::::Yeah, I'd think a flower for the icon, or maybe a leaf.  It'd also be nice if we could customise the Monobook skin (I assume that's what you all use as it's the default).  Green would be Pikmin-y.  Maybe even a curved sidebar like at [http://editthis.info/picklewiki/Main_Page my site]?{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

[[Image:Pikflower Icon.PNG]] Best I could come up with. I'm not really used to pixel art. Also, Green, more power to you if you'd like to change the theme. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

:I would still prefer a leaf, though.  Not sure.  And ocolor, try to crop the image before uploading.  There's far too much whitespace.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::[[Image:Pikleaf Icon.PNG]] Alright, how's this? Admittedly the edges are a little rough, but...well, it can always be edited again. I still like the flower though. :x  {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

Woa now... Why didn't I hear about this? I'll have something ready soon. {{User:InfectedShroom/sig}}

:There, no more edges in Ocolors' pic. Hmm, my favorite so far is the leaf... Maybe '''IS''' can top it?--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

What do you mean "no more edges"?

:Edges = white borders.  So far, I like the leaf one the best; I think it'd be a good replacement if there are no others to come.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

I just made one I worked really hard on: (I love this one)

:I don't mean to sound rude, but why don't you just start with a 16x16 canvas? {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

Macs, and apple work, is a bitch :( I have to count pixels :(. Anyway, what do you think?

:Macs are awesome. Apple Works may not be, but I have Photoshop and ti iz teh pwnzrz. :P BTW, I'll add my entries as soon as possible. So far, I've made a few Leaves and an onion. {{User:InfectedShroom/sig}}

:Cute. I do like the texture. Very...textury. I want to touch it... {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

InfectedShroom- They can't run most games, almost no freeware. Slow. Bad video card. Bad ram. Only good apps is safari and itunes. Photoshop you can get on PC, for free from freeware. No hypercam. Images open in some wierd thing that sucks. Imovie TERRIBLE, can't uploud to youtube, and it mysteriously quits. No stuffit. All files save as unusable types. They do look sexy though.

:Hm... I guess most of that's true enough. Oh well. [[User:InfectedShroom|IS]]

For image editing programs, ocolor, you could try PAINT.NET (I believe that's the program's, not a site's, name) or the GIMP to see if they work on your Mac.  There are free replacements for pretty much anything you can think of.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

So, have we decided on an icon?

:I think we're still waiting on 'Shroom. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

::If there are no more to come soon, we should vote on what we have here.  Just put your sig for your vote like I have.  Of course, we can add others if they are still to come, and you can vote for a couple if you can't decide, I think.  Or split your vote?

::Oh, and I think we could do with a new logo too (currently [[Image:Wiki.png]] and [[Image:Wiki_wide.png]]).  I may try that; didn't make a logo as I fail at pixel-art.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

:::Agreed. What do you plan on making? I had the sudden thought of displaying the Pikmin Planet for the Monobook. I know it seems a little adventurous, but not too far-fetched. We should also exploit the fact somehow that the Quartz book picture is wide. The group of Pikmin we have now is in the right direction. Maybe we could have lots of pixel-art Pikmin line up? Well, just me talking.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

::::Alright, I have all of mine on a single sheet. Would you like me to split it or is it alright as one sheet? {{User:InfectedShroom/sig}}

:::::It'd probably be easier leaving it as one until there's a verdict.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::::Um, go ahead and decide without me. I won't enter. Mine aren't that great. {{User:InfectedShroom/sig}}

:::You're still free to vote on which you think we should use.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

::Okay, if no-one else wants to vote, are we decided on the leaf?

::And, Prezintenden, I was a bit bored so I quickly put together a few images to make what I thought you might be thinking about with the planet.  No idea if it's what you meant.  [http://editthis.info/images/picklewiki/5/59/Planet.png Image here.]  I wasn't sure about the transparency of the Pikmin, or whether it should even have them, but the Wiki is about them, after all...  I added the glow on the planet and the redness at the sides.  Also, if you have any suggestions as to improving it, I can easily make any changes.  I do have a large version if it's too small to see.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}} 19:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

:Alright, I voted. And about the planet... It looks pretty good, If I have a say in it. The text looks a little cheesy, though. Maybe go [http://www.dafont.com here] and look for another? I dunno, just a suggestion. {{User:InfectedShroom/sig}}

::Oh, sorry, I somehow missed your comments. What I thought of was the Pikmin Planet with a white background and a Pikmin head (slighlty transparent) on it. Something like in one of the cutscenes. Of course, that was just a brief thought. Well, I have to agree with the font, but it came out great; maybe it could be a bit bigger, though. ...I just liked the idea of letting the picture "flow" into the Monobook skin (I'm trying to use a German word that doesn't exist in English, but you get the point). However, if we customize the Monobook and/or Monaco skin, that wouldn't really be relevant.

Also, could we use promo pictures for the wide one? And insert the leaf?--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}
