Title: check out the new header logo
Post by: mm on February 26, 2002, 05:40:01 PM
respect and thanks go to ooseven for his work

this is the 1st part of a new forum design

if anyone has an idea or does buttons, lemme know and we\'ll work something out

if someone has a REALLY great idea and it pans out [that means designing it for us, buttons and all]  i can throw a free PS2 game thier way [a good one ;) ]

so?

looks good. good job ooseven.:)

so how bout a graphics design competition? I remember that was suggested a while ago in suggestion forum.  Seemed like a good idea.

Someone had time on their hands...looks good ooseven.  Maybe a slight suggestion is take out the old PS1 symbol and put in the PS2 symbol next to the Message Board--and changing the text for Message Board might even be a little suggestion.

Ooh, mm, I got a suggestion design-wise....change the colors ;)

Oh, how I would LOVE to start this argument again (jk)

Looks good.  

I assume it would be easy to make it a link.  I\'m sure a lot of people stumble in here from search engines, and then you would get some free traffic to PSX2C.

I made some buttons and images for the cc in its final days, but they weren\'t the best.  I\'m sure there are others here who could do a better job.

I\'ll design it! As a way to say sorry for everything!!! I mean, did you see my editing comp work???

I know what I am doing...

PM if you need help.

Post by: theomen on February 26, 2002, 06:29:01 PM
change?  NOOOOooooo!!  Well ok.
 suggestions...the only suggestion is to not sacrafise usability for style, too many sites do that.

Yeah!  Badass phat sites are so dope!  You gotta bring in lotsa 1337 5|^34|< banners too!  Those are so fly!

[/sarcasm] Small moves.  Keep the changes minimal, especially at first.  I like the forum just the way it is.  The banner is nice cause it can add a feature (link man!), doesn\'t detract from the current look, and doesn\'t really change the forums in a drastic way (like addopting an orange/pink colour scheme would do).

Okay, I did a complete set, even the ones you never look at. But since my server is being really stupid, I can only post a few samples.

We DO have that... it\'s next to the Profile tab under your post. If it\'s light, you\'re online. It\'s dark if you aren\'t. I even made images for those:)

looking good weltall
looking real good, just a little too large

i LOVE how you used the games original font on the forum title

come on guys, lets get some ideas

i think what were going to do is keep the black color scheme, just new graphics and buttons

so get creative and remember, not only do u get credit for yer creation, you also  get a free PS2 game from me!

Indeed... it\'s too revealing. ;)

I\'d make some buttons but not having Internet access from home makes it a bit more difficult. Perhaps I should just bring a floppy or something.... if I get the time I\'ll whip something up. :)
Title: check out the new header logo
Post by: 182Ways on February 27, 2002, 07:40:19 AM
I\'ll start on some sample buttons once I get home, and upload them later tonight.

I\'ve got some good ideas of what might work...

Title: check out the new header logo
Post by: nO-One on February 27, 2002, 07:50:29 AM
I did a quick mock up here just to show my basic idea for the buttons. I was thinking about doing some aqua like buttons (see my 2nd entry in Ryu\'s photo editing contest) in some PS.2 colors, but came too the conclusion that they would be too flashy. So I made this, I wanted it too be clean simple yet elegant.
Do keep in mind that I did this in maths class on my laptop and it\'s a mere mock up, there are plenty of things to fix up (size, the blurring etc...)

Anyhoo enough rambling, let\'s hope this file attachment thing works.

when you get a pm, you get a noise of homer going wooo hoooo, i know its not a button, but it would be cool,


i cant make these buttons, but why doesnt make up a load that look like beer botles, which have " off topic" "reply" etc written on them in stead of the brands.

Actually, no one cares what the elder members have to say, either. You could be a former mod with over 3000 posts, but if you do anything even slightly critical of a mod there, you\'ll get banned.

That\'s what happened to me, anyway. But that\'s alright, I have my own secret plans....
