If your going to do that please dont use white for the background.
Use another color or "same color as mapvote window" so it looks nice not thrown together.

This image was exported straight from the MonsterHunt .u file. It is the image from the start MH game tabs. There is also a titan and some other monsters to choose from. just add in what you want it to say.

It's actually just an example on the lettering color & font... the background can be anything. There is really nothing wrong with white though, as it does tend to stick out the words.
That image posted above would actually tend to come out a tad darker & even harder to see the monster.
I got a screenshot though of a whole slew of monsters that may just do the trick, but I want to see 1st what Herm has to say on what I did so far.

I like Flatus' font. It should just say "Monster Hunt Mayhem'' in the bottom half . Please use the skaaarj in the background mostly in the top half.

Witch font? The unreal font or the atari looking font?

LOL, I was thinking that too. Btw, never heard of a "witch font"... is that something special for Halloween? rofl (I know, another misspelling of which)
The other font I used does look Atarish... but the name is different. There are a ton of interesting types available on the net, but I just chose 2 & one is related to the game though.
I also got this partial map [which is now being worked on again by a guy from the former (PST) clan] that show a lot of babyskaarjs in a room. I'll show a screenshot of it once I know what font is being asked for here.

I like the UT font and not the Atari font. You know, I don't even need a monster behind it. Just big red UT letters saying "Monster Hunt Mayhem"
This loads whenever a picture is not available for the map right? Or, is this what will be there all of the time. Either way is fine by me. Thanks all

Ok, not a problem then. The welcoming one would be more inclined to the other type of logo, the one when one enters a server (with or without an audio sound/voice). That btw is something I have also done before.
I do have another SS of a room full of gibs... I'll see how that would look.
As for it showing up, it'll be there as soon as the mapvote is seen/initiated & gone once a player picks a map (most have one, while a few don't due to the mapper... some even have more than one shown or is animated!).

FYI.
The image will only show up if there is no map preview.
Whoever ends up making it you must make it 256X256 or multiple of 2 pixles , and it must be a .utx or .u file because the LA13 will be looking for a package.classname when it looks for the image.

Ok, well been a bit busy & finally got not just one but THREE types I did that look quite good. But the ultimate decision will be up to Herm, unless he wants to make a poll & have others here vote on them for the best one. Any could still be altered, but once picked, then the next thing will be the utx file itself.
The 1st one is from an existing part of an utx pack I found, the other 2 are parts from a MH map still under development (I think).

OK, Here it is. All I'm hoping for is that font in the color red. The background to be black. I only want 3 words for right now. I'd like them to be stacked on top of each other and centered properly from top to bottom and left to right. It would look something like this but centered better:
Monster
Hunt
Mayhem
Later, I'd like to get a picture of a single skaarj in the baground but that is later.
Thanks!

Yes, I agree with Herm.
One thing you must remember is that him and I both are OCD like crazy.
Anything that isn't perfectly symmetrical, doesn't look official, or just downright non-belonging doesn't float our boats. period.
Ex: The second picture you've posted has a weird turquoise message that says, "warning! intruders in the base!"
Nu-uh. Gotta go. There is no capalization, it is not centered, the color is tacky, and it is simply unbelonging.
THAT is what Herm is really trying to say. Don't be offended, saying it this way wastes much less of your time, and gets things done. It's called cutting the sugarcoating.

Could have said it beforehand.
Ok, I'll do one similar to what Kort did (minus the website... to small to read anyways once it shows temporarily in the small space in the mapvote). As for what matrix said, I don't know what the hell OCD is, so I'll just ignore it.
P.S.- Got a way to directly send it to you Herm?

haha, OCD = Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Basically, we're perfectionists.
Herm and I call it being sick, if you took a look at his music library, whew, talk about perfect grammer and punctuation.. but then again, his sickness is nothing compared to that of mine. 8P.
