Hehehe, how much, is it just too bright?

I\'m still trying to keep the current color scheme as, both since I\'m very used to it, and the fact that it is a very good one, it\'s easy on the eyes while the colors are still very well defined.

And I\'d like some comments about my schemes, I\'d like to know if you guys like the buttons so I can continue improving them and focusing my efforts on my first batch, or if you don\'t really like it so that I could go do something completly different.

no, yer looking real good no-one
just a few tweaks

Personally I like the first ones with the cut corners more than the newer one, but I have a few variations not just the first complete screenie and the one above. I\'ll some more later

It\'s way to big, nO-One.

Otherwise it\'s looking good.

I\'m gonna work on some buttons myself this weekend.

i AM AT THIS FREAKIN SCHOOL WITH ITS FREAKIN SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW COMPUTERS AND THE FREAKIN BUTTON IS TO FREAKIN BIG TO "ATTACH,"  I\'M GONNA SCREAM :rpissed:

in case anyone is scared to try and make some buttons
i made this in 30 seconds at school on my break

 it needs  resized, and some detail work and it would look prety good

again, 30 seconds of work produced this

I like, I like, better go buy your own PS2 game!

Let me know if the colors are a little off.






P.S. - Just kidding

I is teh sukc!!!1 Best I could think of at the moment, I thought it\'d kinda go well with the new logo (just noticed the colors are a bit off, but maybe it\'s better if they\'re not that dark). I still had to go with Arial as the font, since nothing else really seemed to fit the buttons... I could try out the PS font... I also designed new "logos" for the "post" and "new thread" buttons, to give the design an even fresher feel. They still need some working on, though.

Gimme some feedback so I know if I should just drop dead

Edit : I tried the PS font now too, looks pretty nice methinks.

what dajo is working on

 

Just a rough set of buttons I made a few minutes ago.  Nothing too extravagent... I\'m just posting them to show everyone an idea of where I\'m taking a new design.  If it\'s good, I\'ll enhance the images (improving the text placement, matte, etc.), otherwise I\'ll try something else.

Can somone tell me if I\'m going in the right direction?  Or should I try another design?  I\'ve got a few more ideas left, but I don\'t imagine them being too great right now.

After seeing all of the buttons, I don\'t know if I even have a chance.  All the buttons I\'ve seen so far look very good.  I might as well post what I\'ve done so far.  Tell me what you think.

Here is what my buttons look like on the bottom of a page.  The table background was changed to 555555, and the table border was changed to 616161.




I still haven\'t done a lot of the buttons (as you can see), but from what I do have, what do you think?  Does the text need to be more defined?  Are the buttons too light? (my monitor is a little dark, which makes making these buttons look good on your monitors a little harder. )

This is the design I\'m working on right now:



And the bottom of the screen:
