New site design & logo

I really like the main page, and think the new logo looks fine on the main page, but it does lack when its on the forums. The white backdrop to it just doesnt look very good.

I'm not shure if it needs to be changed, I think it's better than the old one, I got quite a pleasant surprise when I loaded the page today, but something needs to be changed for the forum.

Also, with the change, the forum "template" looks a bit old, isnt there a newer version of VBulletin which looks better, alot of internet forums are alot nicer than this. But thats not a major problem.

And, the new site still doesnt work on the Opera 9 beta... but thats okay i geuss, probably an error on thier side. Just hope they fix it before the final comes out.

MyADSL Bevelled Logo

Nice! I just don't like light blue ;) I think that the light blue should be replaced with a slightly lighter version of what we used to have.

And although I like what you have done you don't think that we should move away from that glossy, bevelled look towards something more subdued - um, 'softer' if you know what I mean :)
 
sorry, but this new logo is awful... :(
I do like the new front page layout though :D

That BTTB bevelled logo looks rather nice
 
I think we need to establish first if RPM and the other Mods are entertaining suggestions for a MyADSL Logo?

This attempt was a stab in the dark as I personally was more attached to the old logo and I also now feel that bb_matt has a point about continuity, although that was not my original notion in the matter until he mentioned it.
It was more of case of the new logo just didn't grab me.
But now the more that I think about it, by changing the logo we are changing our identity known to all.

Over to you.

I definetely prefer BTTB's logo (http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/6141/myadslbevelled2al.jpg), its got a more modern feel and really looks snazzy. I think the 'white' shadowing in the blue ball under the white lines could be worked on a little bit tho... I think the current logo is a bit random, and maybe we should have a vote to see which logo should be chosen?

Hi guys

Thanks for all the feedback.

We will certainly entertain all suggestions regarding the new logo. We have already printed T-shirts & caps with the new logo, but that can be remedied in future prints. Like always the members will decide on what goes on MyADSL, and while I thought the new logo may be a pleasant surprise it became a lesson to run things by you guys first :D

Regards,

RPM
 
Embarrassed

@RPM

I feel a little embarrassed now after all your effort on the Logo and the Tee-Shirts and here we are being critical about it. :o
One doesn't think about all the hard work done behind the scenes which for all intense and purposes you need a medal for.

The new Front Page of MyADSL is fantastic and it may be a welcome change to see the forum get a new facelift as well some time?
We were looking at The Ubuntu Forums which has a nice non-default look about it.
All things in good time. ;)

Keep up the good work.
Kind Regards,
BTTB
 
Hi BTTB

Your honest feedback is great! While it took some time develop this logo, I was under the illusion that it will be liked by everyone…big mistake :D Looks like my taste is not too representative of the MyADSL norm :) I thought we must run it past members first, but then I thought it will be a pleasant surprise to have a new design with a nice new logo. I am humbly taking my punishment for this mistake...

Regarding the forums: I am hesitant to employ too many changes as it may mean a great deal of work with some security patches. At this state we simply update, change one or two things and it works. With every additional mod it will require more work. Will definitely look into it though.

Regards,

RPM
 
I think the logo can stay... for now.
Maby just change the white to transparent. It looks out of place on the forums.
 
I don't mean to rag any more on you people, but I REALLY can't see how it could have been the best. Taste differ I suppose. Feels strange typing forwards again. I can become Japanese. :D
 
Ok, sorry. I missed that one word. Now I wonder who that external entity was. Brings me back to my philosophy, if you want something done right then do it yourself.

The office of the Minister of Communications? :p
 
Hi Prometheus

To get a good logo I decided not to do it myself again, but get professionals in. Turned out to be less effective than I thought…a good lesson. There are more talented guys right here who know what we are all about.

RPM
 
Well, my compliments to you on the first one. It looks more professional to me. A good lesson for everyone: the "professionals" don't always know what they are doing.
 
hi rpm

why not ask the people on the forum if they can design a logo and then choose the best and use it.. or you can use it to give you more designing ideas?
