that’s my bouncer!

A couple of days ago, lifehacker (massive tech blog) posted an article about google wave. The first thing that caught my eye in that article was the image used and more specifically, this;

That little profile icon used by someone is one of my BeerChief bouncers which were designed about two years ago. Upon further investigation, it seems my bouncers have become pretty popular

When i first came up with the idea for BeerChief, bouncers were a key part of it. I ended up paying for custom designed bouncers and those guys above were what i ended up with. I’ve put them up on this blog and on BeerChief too over the last couple of years so it just goes to show how these things can get around…

Will i go after the sites that have the bouncers? No, even though i could. Bottom line is i have the originals, higher quality versions and i can prove they’re all mine :smile: So although BeerChief is still under construction, it seems the bouncers are becoming mini celebrities in their own right…

    Is there a chance the people that you had design the icons for you sold them to someone else also?

      possible of course, but unlikely – any images i can find are all low quality, either jpegs or gifs with a white background…

      as far as i know i’ve only put jpegs and gifs online.. plus a couple of sites i’ve come across have the exact same names attached to the images as i do, and one of them was actually hotlinking from my own site so it’s unlikely they were sold to anyone else…

    You have a good few subscribers and readers so I can imagine theres a good chance of someone picking it up alright :)
