If you wanted to convert those lovely Nokia logos to be used as startup or shutdown animations on your Ericsson, you will need to know the following:

• Logos are usually stored in the .NGG, .NOL, .GIF and .BMP file formats.
  
• Logos are set at 72x14 resolution.
  
• Logos have a 1-bit color depth (black and white).
  
• The A2618 and A2628 has a resolution of 101x54.
  
• The T20 has a resolution of 101x33.
  
• You will need to use the Nokia logo utility to save the file into a format that MyAnimation can import with (.GIF and .BMP).

Since the Ericsson's screen is much bigger than the Nokia's, you will need to calculate the offset value for your Ericsson so that the Nokia logo will be centered on your screen.

Assuming you have an A2618 with a resolution of 101x54, the correct way to calculate is to first count the width offset (this has to be done twice. Once for the width and another for the height) with the formula:

Offset = (ERes - NRes) / 2
(ERes - NRes) / 2 = Offset
(101 - 72) / 2 = 14.5
So, Offset is 14.5

The Offset value to use is 14 (we remove the .5 from the result).
ERes is the Ericsson resolution and NRes is the Nokia resolution.

Calculating the height offset result is the use of this equation:

(54 - 14) / 2 = 20
So, Offset is 20

Using this simple formula, we now know that we need to offset the Nokia logo by 14 pixels right and 20 pixels down to make the logo appear at the center of the screen of an Ericsson A2618.

Importing the Nokia Logo...

• Start the MyAnimation program.
  
• Select Insert -> Image from File...
  
• Select the .GIF or .BMP file you want to import.
  
• Give the logo a Portfolio ID and you will be put into the Image Editor.
  
• Click the Resize button and change the resolution from 72x14 to your Ericsson screen resolution (in this example, 101x54).
  
• You then press the "right arrow" button 14 times (width offset calculated earlier) and the "down arrow" button 20 times (height offset calculated earlier) and the logo should be at the center of the new screen resolution.
  
• Click the OK button to save your logo.
  
• You can now use the logo like you would with any other Ericsson logo.
