ColdFusion Wallpaper - Revolution

I was doing an image search on Google last night when I came across an image of the old ColdFusion logo from the Allaire days. I started feeling a bit nostalgic and the creative inspiration took over. I have been wanting to spend some time playing around with and investigating Illustrator and Photoshop CS4 so this gave me a good excuse. After a few hours of tinkering, I came up with a new wallpaper and was pretty happy with it so I figured someone else might be interested in using it.

I have created several widescreen versions and an iPhone version as well. Hope you like it.

    February 22, 2010 at 8:26 AM Good job dude. Did you ever see the Bolt wallpaper that I did? I was similarly inspired by old school logos:

    February 22, 2010 at 11:31 AM Thanks for all the compliments guys, really appreciate it!

    @Steve - I dont have any regular 4:3 monitors so I didnt take time to rework it for those resolutions. If I get some time this week I may go ahead and rework it some and update the post.

    @Andy - Yes I saw yours on Friday when Adam Lehman was using your CF9 v2 on his desktop during a Connect session so I checked out your other ones. Nice Work! Its nice taking time to get away from code and back to my graphics background for a change. I dont spend enough time tinkering and sketching anymore.

    February 23, 2010 at 12:13 PM I love your wall paper design. It even looks great on my iphone. Yesterday Scott Stroz posted an item showing how to change the splash screen for CFBuilder. http://www.boyzoid.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/2/22/CF-Dude-Splash-Screen-for-Eclipse

    I took your wallpaper and resized it to 600 × 295 pixels and saved it as bmp. Now I see the Revolution Flag when I start CFBuilder!

    The Revolution is strong!
