Description
I put up a journal asking what pony you guys wanted to see made into a boot logo next, and Twilight got the most votes! Here y'all are.
Click "Download File" over on the right there to get it. Installation instructions are in the readme, as usual.These take a long time to make! I had forgotten how long they took... I don't think I'll be doing any more for a while, but we'll see. Sorry to the other people that gave their input!
Here's a side note for the Boot Uploader program. I got the text on the bottom to be blank by using the blank character alt-code (Alt+255). If you leave one of the text boxes blank, the animation does not show up for some reason. So if you want one of the text fields to be empty, make sure you use Alt+255 on the numpad to make a blank character!

Anychance of an AJ one? That would be amazing. :3

You could use a .gif instead. The app he linked to has support for that.

Probably not, sorry. These take quite a while to make and I've been working on other things.

Ok then! No worries! Is there a guide on how to do it? Or, can you tell me in the most time preserving way for you? I looked up these things a while ago, and by a while, when there wasn't a hack for these yet.
If you could point me in the right direction, that would be amazing. :3

Download the zip I have here, and there should be a folder full of .png's. Basically, that's how it's done. You need a certain number of images, all 200x200px. The first x (can't remember how many) images play, and all the rest after that loop. The difficult part is getting the loop to work right.
Download Windows 7 Boot Updater, and that should help a bit, too. Load up one of my boot logo files and see if you can figure out how it works. If you need more help, just ask! I know this is kinda vague...

Thanks! I do have a question, If I paid you for your time, would you be able to do this? Just a quick question. Like a commission.
Tell me if you can :3

Well, I have been wanting to do some commissions... How much are you thinking? How does $10 sound?

How'd you manage to do this with the boot screen? For some reason, when it's waking up from hibernation, it's Russian.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, it certainly shouldn't be doing that. I don't know why that's happening. You should be able to edit what the text says when coming out of hibernate - look for that.

Dang, not Mac compatible. WAY cute though. Twilight is my favorite! Great job on this though.

Any chance you might do some others (Rarity, for example), or post a guide on how we might make our own?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They take quite a while to do, but I might to more. Probably no tutorial, sorry!

Ah, ok. Thank you for making these, then.

I did read (in your Rainbow Dash boot logo) that "it plays a bit slower than I'd like"
This is your 5th Boot pony logo, so I wonder is that is already fixed in this one (Twilight)
Not sure if you understand what I mean ^^U

The boot animation is a bit slow. Unfortunately, this isn't something I can change, so they're all the same speed. It's not really slow, it's just a little slower than I would want it to be. It still looks good.

I see. I installed the Rainbow Dash one and the speed looks ok for me
Thank you very much for create this creative work! My life is now a bit more ponyfied.
I'm surprised how you didn't link a youtube video in the description of these boot logos (you know, something like "What this looks like when installed: *Youtube video link*")

Eh, too lazy to make a video. Plus, that takes out some of the surprise.

I have no idea. I'm guessing no because the program used to update it is for Windows 7.

I have this as my startup, then my shut down had Rarity trotting along, then her horn glows a second or two before the phone shuts down n.n

Freakin' Awesome <3
I do hope for a fluttershy or Dr.Whooves one time, *HintHint*
But I'll survive with Vinyl Scratch for now

This looks to be pretty damn awesome. I do wish it was a bit larger, but I understand that the base sprite is just that size. One with rainbow dash booming around would be pretty cool as well.
Also one with ponies just randomly wandering around would be freaking awesome, but a lot of work to make it loop decently.

The only problem with large animations is that Windows only supports image sizes up to 200x200 pixels.
