Just thought that I would change some of the colors around on the main site. It now looks "meaner" or "cooler" or "darker".

I think it's rather swank...  :twisted:

If anyone has any ideas for a new logo that matches the current setting, feel free to make one up. God knows I cannot Photoshop things for my life.

That sounds like a job that I'm going to do. Uh, right now, actually.

If you want something familiar yet different, how about this inverted and colour-balanced version?

If you can make that black a blusish (hex #5D7FA8) instead, then I'll use that for a while.  :lol:

Oh, that would be a giant pain in  the ass - the black doesn't fill cleanly - I'll just make a new one. Gimme a couple of minutes.

Hey, that's pretty good Lacerda.

Think you could make it wider, and a closed semi circle one the other side? Then it might look better centered rather than aligned to the left like it is now.

Feh, this makes me feel like I'm handing out demands to people :cry:

Well, you should either stick that on the other side or use this one:

Right now it's set for 710 pixes. It used to be 90%. You liked it better at 90 per cent?

I thought it might be a good idea to have it set to one size, that way it looks the same for everyone, but I just viewed it on another moniter that's large on mine and it does look rather weird...

Well, it should be noted that I view things at 1024x768...

...oh yeah, in about 10 minutes, I'll have finished an article.

Can I post it seeing as my day got skipped?

You can post, but LFD had this to say via AIM:

LFD: screw you!!
LFD: mine goes first!!!


So I got a nice little addon that will allow us to fix the dates of these things for times like this. See, you can both post on the same day, and I can simply move one to Monday, one to Tuesday, and one to Wednesday.  :D

Ah, his article will pale in comparison to this one anyway.  :wink: I'll upload it and you can stick it on whichever day you like.

I definitely like the new look... much better than the old one.  Not that there was anything wrong with the old one, but this one beats the crap out of it.
