QuckTime SVG.

I've made a duplication of Apple's QuickTime logo. It can be found here. Just wanted to know what you think. :D

It was made in Inkscape. What SVG editor would you recommend? Also how do I make my svg viewable in firefox like Wikipedia does their svgs?

I use PHP to make SVG files.

Getting them to download properly is just a matter of adding the right content type header (either by using header() in PHP or adding it to Apache's config).

But what's your guys honest opinion? Does it look like a crappy duplicate? :cry:

Do I need Quicktime to view it? Because I hate opening Quicktime. Once I do, it's loads itself into my startup, and asks me to update it a dozen times.

No. All you need is a capable SVG viewer, like Firefox.

.. And the server to send the appropriate headers so you dont have to save the file ;)

<edit> Saved and reopened in firefox..

Very nicely done!

Send it over to Steve and see what he says :)

Theres an odd little imperfection in the shine around the line of the Q (or whatever you call that part of a Q), but if you shrink the image, you can't even notice it.

I drew a cool little IE Blue 'e' remake. :D

Line of the Q?

BTW good job on the IE logo. You really captured the personality of the browser. ;)

Thanks. :P

The right side of it, above the "hook" of the Q (or, in Qucktime, a straight line). The curve of the shine follows the logo loosely.

BTW, your logo drawing has inspired me to redesign my blog. n_n

Haha, opening the SVG in Firefox resulted in an endless loop of blank tabs being created :lol:

Weird... Are you using firefox 2, any version with native SVG supports?

And superdezign, that hook I think is suppose to have that. Here's what I based my vector on: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/e ... kTime7.png.

Yup, Firefox 2.0.0.4.
For the record I can view SVGs at Wikipedia.

Well, I don't know why my SVG can't be viewed like on Wikipedia... :(

If you have Opera, use that because there's no need to download.

I've made a "v2" of it, here.

Wow, impressive (opened in Opera), never tried anything in SVG before but I've gotta say great work :)
