New site design & logo

Great work.

I think the older look was a bit too minimal whereas this design is much more alluring.
As for the logo, I think both are great but wouldn't mind if the older one is discarded :)
I also think the poll should by default only show the votes once a user has voted, as it is now.
 
Ummm on my cell in Opera Mini the new logo shows on the myadsl.co.za site and the forums but on my computer the new logo doesn't show on the forums?? Why is that?
 
Try pressing Control and F5 together.
 
Why do things have to change? Now I have to scroll to the right to get to the votes.

Hello RPM,

Of course my views will not reflect the whole forum?
The logo is fine. Seems you guys spent a lot of time on it and here I am making comment. :p
You could ask Mad to come up with a nice logo? He is very good.
The circle could encompass Africa with South Africa sticking out the bottom and the quote window could appear to come from South Africa?
No need to decide on anything in a hurry?

MyADSL Logo with Africa in the background. South Africa could be highlighted still?

The only thing I don't like is the new logo. I don't want to seem presumptuous here, but I don't see how 12 letters and a circle thingey can take a lot of time to design. :confused: Maybe I'll design you one. I designed some really nice moving logos in the past :D which are now unaccessible because of a hdd circuit board crash. :mad:

For now you can use BTTB's logo.
 
I still think the poll should be for people who logs into the forum as half the time you can't vote at all. Its limiting the voice of many!

Otherwise nice improvements!

My thoughts also. I also think there should be a link to the user cp on the main page since it's the first things I go to after the main page.
 
I cannot help but feel that the new logo is badly implimented in the forums - the background cannot be white and the speech bubble should be on the left of the text.

But I still prefer the old one ... just shinyer :D
 
Been asking myself - What does an empty speech bubble represent? Silence? Still not 'getting it'.

Have to say my allegiance is leaning towards the old one. The old one is still showing on the page in the forums.
 
It actually isn't still on the forums .. thats just your browser cache, but it can be seen still at myblogs.co.za

I think that we should keep the old one just lighten the colours and at a gradient background and a much lighter blue ...
 
I third the idea for a 'competition' of sorts, a lot of the users here are quite computer savvy and I'm sure some of us can come up with something special. Why don't we set a date for all entries to be sent in and then once we have all the possibilites we can have a vote and discuss them in the forum, sounds like fun!
 
Well, I'll have to go against the grain.

It's terrible.

Firstly, any brand that had been established with the logo has effectively been wiped out - the visual recognition value has been thrown out the window.

Secondly, the speech bubble means absolutely nothing, it's empty.

Thirdly, the typography in the lettering is very bad.

The M is too wide and the A is too thin, the S is too close to the D.

The white box around the logo is really poor, very amatuerish.

PLEASE, bring back the OLD logo and consider reworking that - get a happy medium, don't just rush into a big logo change without considering brand continuity !

Wasnt browser cache - must have been the transparent cache down the line.
 
The front page looks more informative than the previous version.

1) The latest headlines can be improved however. A "more" link (and/or make category heading a hyperlink) for all the headlines in that category would be nice. A person visiting less than once a week will miss out not being able to find all the headlines for the spesific category he would be interested in because it only shows the 5 newest.

2) The headlines in latest headlines gets cut off so perhaps one should make the tooltip for each heading the full heading.

3) There is nothing wrong with the logo and the speech bubble. Don't listen to the "it's terrible" comments. The only reason I can see for using the old one is that the colour scheme in that logo fits with better with the vBulletin colour scheme.
 
Oh, and working up-to-date RSS feed for news is a winner ... hope it stays in sync with front page publishes.
 
LOGO ..... sigh

I hate to do this to you all but rpm......

The logo sux.... its not stylish its bland and it is uninteresting.

I dont like to make the statement that will get chirped but being honest i find is the best solution.

Stick with the old logo and revamp. I have had some experience with this in the last couple of months as you know rpm but that change is to drastic and to ....... ugly

i dont like to make silly remarks but why was this not discussed and talked about?

surely the people that view the forum are the ones that are going to be seeing it the most and need to be happy with it?

Anyway if you want ideas or help let me know..... ill try my best.

btw

whoever is interested

www.wellinformed.co.za <- new site for SA revolving around other main issues we need to talk about.
