Get a Druplicon Hat: CertifiedToRock score of 6 and tweet about it

We've got a few exciting announcements here at Drupalcon. Two of those are related to a new site we launched yesterday, CertifiedToRock.com.

Woven Druplicon Hats

We got some beautiful hand-made, wool Druplicon hats from Peru with the help of my good friend Fernando Garcia (develcuy) and the artisans that his lovely wife Nancy works with. Now we're ready to give these hats away - for free - but of course there's a catch ;)

Certification for Drupal with CertifiedToRock.com

We've built a super simple (and yet, we think, still valid) certification for Drupal users based on their involvement with the Drupal project. It's located at CertifiedtoRock.com where you can enter a drupal.org username and see the corresponding certification level of that individual. Learn more about CertifiedToRock.

If you want a hat, tweet a link to your score with @certifiedtorock and we'll hook you up if your score is 6 or higher. After noon on Wednesday we'll be giving out hats to anyone with a score of 5 or higher.

Hello, world! I'm Steve (aka garbanzito on d.o), growing my Drupal skills for over a year, and a team member at Growing Venture Solutions since mid-October. This is my first Planet Drupal post.

Part of my background is in print publishing, so I took on a particular challenge with the Druplicon: for various reasons, the standard Druplicon won't work well at tiny sizes, so I developed this variant for use as a glyph in printed text (on the order of 2 mm for a "bullet"—even smaller than the favicon).

I used solid color instead of shading to avoid losing detail such as the face among the halftone dots. I also exaggerated details for better recognition at small sizes and to adjust for the properties of printing presses. I chose to fill most of the drop with solid color to make it a darker mark on the page, more like a typical bullet. The result is not intended to be "correct" at a larger size. The glyph is a single composite curve for cleaner scaling and transparency in PostScript usage, and its color is 100% Black in the CMYK color mode.

The image shown is for display—for production use, start with the PDF file attached (editable Illustrator CS2). The design is approximately 200x230 mm (about 100 times the intended size, depending on your usage). GPL2 license embedded.
