Searching For A Pattern: Supperman "S" Logo

schreef in bericht news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com... | Hi folks | | I'm trying to find a pattern for the "S" that Superman wears on his | chest. I've been working on a pattern based on images found online | but so far I'm just not all that happy with the results. Anyone out | there have such a thing?

Tried to find it for you but without any results... Maybe if you have some free time you can search on some sites...

I finally found a server that carried the binary.

For those who didn't see the binary and are still curious, this is the pattern in question:

As the original format *.BMP, it's 550674 bytes. Converting to *.PNG, it only takes up 18797 bytes.

For future reference when posting to binary groups or even to web pages, remember that BMP is a microsoft graphics format that's essentially raw bitmapped pixels; no compression.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) uses a lossless compression algorithm so there's absolutely no loss in detail yet the PNG file can be as little as... well, the example above reduces the filesize by a factor of more than 29! That's really significant for people on dialup and/or metered access.

PNG is the best format for patterns, line drawings, diagrams, etc. where you need the smallest filesize while retaining full detail.

Now for a real puzzler, Super-logo.a.png is actually smaller than Super-logo.png.
