Including skin makers in that is ludicrous (with no offense to logo and face makers).
The months of work that can go into a single skin along with the actual design/graphic creation taking place more than allows a skinner to be precious about their work. A good skin certainly comes under valuable intellectual property in my book. </BLOCKQUOTE>
Fair point, the work that goes into the best skins is very impressive. I'm not denigrating that, just questioning those few that try and limit the availability of their efforts.

And as for the impression that you seem to be under above - it takes an average of 90 minutes or so to source logos, convert them, create the code to get them to display correctly, zip them up and upload them to a relevant site for others to download.
Not a simple case of "you've just nicked logos from elsewhere and resized them"

You've basically just backed up what I said. You source them (nick them), convert them (resize them), create the code (using the xml template), zip them (two clicks of a button) and upload them (couple more clicks and time to make a cuppa).
I appreciate the time you take to make the packs, I just feel the self-aggrandising of this thread is a little unnecessary. Many people create graphics and upload them to sites without the need to start a "come and get your hands on my talent" thread.

There's so much wrong with that sentence, it's beneath a response.
