[Tutorial][How To] Create Your Own Zeppelin Logos!

45GTR · September 5, 2014

Hey there guys, today I'm going to do a tutorial on how to make your own zeppelin logos... If you don't know what Zeppelin is, then you haven't lived. Zeppelin allows you to customize the carrier in your device's status bar, here's an example, this is mine!

See That? The status bar has the infamous Heisenberg's face

Okay, for today's tutorial you're going to need a couple of things which are:
An Image editor, preferably Photoshop or Gimp

A Jailbroken iDevice

Zeppelin

An Idea!

Let's dive in!

1) First make sure you have an image editor, if you don't you can download photoshop which is paid (or pirate it) Or download a free image editor called Gimp which you can find here: http://www.gimp.org/ Or if you really can't be bothered to do either of those things, just use paint. God.Help.You ;(

2) Ok, before we go further we need to understand that Zeppelin need 8 images for one logo, these are to accomodate the different circumstances the Device is in, for example being on the home screen would mean a different image to one if you were in an app!

These images are going to be named this:

Images for retina displays which are images ending in @2 and the normal screen images that end in nothing. Please note that the retina images are twice in size compared to non retina images. Ok, today i'm doing the tutorial for a retina image, so it'll end in @2 right? Yep.

3) At first this might be a lot to take in but trust me, #it'll be alright#

Ok, the dimensions for our retina images are 40 by 40 pixels, DO NOT go over 40 pixels for the height but you can go up to 100px for width. For those of you with older devices, the dimensions are 20 by 20 pixels, exactly half. For extra help during this tutorial refer to this for templates: http://www.ijailbreak.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/iJailbreak-Zeppelin-Resource-Pack.zip

4) Ok, within you're favorite chosen editor, create 40 by 40 pixel png images (or 20 by 20) and make 8 of them to accommodate the file names above. For the purposes of this tutorial they can all be the same. Be sure to make it creative!

5) After making these files, pop them into a folder and name it to anything.

6) Now, using a wired or wireless connection ssh into you're device using a filesystem explorer, you need to go to Library/Zeppelin and here you need to paste the folder we created in step 5.

7) Now open the Zeppelin application and navigate to the packages and select you're package and voila!

That's it! SIMPLES!
