New Site Logo/Design - Page 25

SL65 · January 14th, 2005, 2:48 AM

WOW, just found this thread and I have to say great work VIPER- sites looking good *shrug* Malcolm's is better though!! Sorry, it is that much better and I certainly don't believe in pressuring you like this unless its nessesary!! I recognise there could be another version of this site (in time..).
I'll give you some more input on the new site:
TITLE AND HEADING- looks great!
The news should be written up with some colour or something.
And I really liked how you roll your mouse over the download to see what is on it. That worked.
Keep up the work Malcolm. Would be good to see Vipers new site originally designed by an Aussie!

Some nitpicking here:

I don't think that the headers should be the same font as the logo itself. The font could also be scaled down and centered.
Pics of Clarkson and Tiff would need some tweaking. I'll see what I can do.
Maybe a slogan under the logo?

However, everything else is looking great.

Here's the carbon fiber pattern if anyone wanted it for the background.

I'm still pushing for this design, except I tweaked it a little.

I have a nitpick too images/smilies/biggrin.gif

You need to pop the dates on the news items somewhere so we can quickly see if something new is there on the way through to the forums.

Oh, and I may have mentioned this before, but how about replacing Tiff with Vicki images/smilies/wink.gif

Not a fan of this "update". The current design looks great, stick with it.

Oh, date, poster, all that stuff will be added in small text below the post title. I'm just not there yet. images/smilies/wink.gif

I was thinking, where you have the 'latest forum topics' on the home page, you could replace with an area with links to all the threads you are monitoring (when logged on obviously). Just a thought images/smilies/wink.gif

Also, anyone know font was used here:

Frankly, I don't think too many people use the "Watch this topic for replies" feature.

I also may just get rid of that whole area as it requires queries to update it and if someone spams the forums, it'll appear on the main page.

Malcolm · January 14th, 2005, 8:40 AM

Sl55amg, the font used is called 'steelfish' (I probably got it at www.dafont.com). I used that font also on the main logo up top.

Malcolm · January 14th, 2005, 8:43 AM

Also on Viggen's design, i rather like that 'top gear' image and reckon it should replace the one on the chosen template.

As do I. We'll sort that all out later though, well I mean you guys are welcome to come up with pics for both programs.

Nogger · January 14th, 2005, 10:12 AM

I prefer Malcolms design. I dunno why. Thery're both great.

This is much better!

What Viper has now has too much red and stuff, it looks amateur where yours looks more professionnal on the same design and smoother on the eyes images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Overheat · January 14th, 2005, 3:19 PM

I disagree.

GTV V6 · January 14th, 2005, 3:35 PM

Also, Will the forum "headlines" be direct links to the threads or just what's there , not links ?

It'll link to the threads here. Still not sure if Viper would want to keep that.

Overheat · January 14th, 2005, 4:59 PM

Just prefer the current style with all the carbon fiber - I think it's simple, subtle and it just works really well.
