Ron Swanson Pyramid Of Greatness Wallpapers Part 2

UPDATE: Like Parks and Recreation? You can find a Mouse Rat CD cover here.

So this is a wallpaper made possible by the internet! I took the original image (the largest I could find – 1080 x 813), and then I uploaded it to this amazing site that vectorizes image art, Vector Magic. They traced the pyramid for me and generated a vector file, though I had to paint over the text prior to uploading, because it couldn’t trace the text very well at all.

I then typed everything out with a placeholder Arial text. I was very amused by every line I typed! But I did not know what font was originally used. I then discovered this other great website called MyFonts that scanned the image and deduced the font – Futura MD. I feel sheepish because I used Futura for all my IKEA designs. Ah well.

It was then a matter of pasting the horribly cropped images of Nick Offerman’s mug, and then resizing it.

16:9 Widescreen wallpapers – including a MASSIVE 2560 x 1600 – are marked normally. 4:3 Fullscreen wallpapers are marked with an ‘FS’ designation. In there is a lone iPhone wallpaper.

Hover over to see the image size, click to enlarge.

That’s a whole lotta Ron Swanson. NBC Universal (er…Comcast?) didn’t commission or give me consent to make these. But I think they look a million times better than the ‘official’ 1000×813 image that is floating around the interweb. If NBC and Parks and Recreation would like these for their own sites, they are more than welcome to take these.

  1. I was wondering why this post is getting mad traffic again – then I realized NBC ran a repeat of this episode tonight.

    All you people MISSED this the first time around?? For shame.
