Keth Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I can dig that. It should have a prefix though. (The Incredible, Amazing, Uncanny etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 ive been a huge fan of that image since seeing it, and have it pinned up in at least 2 places around this apartment. the font & FF reference are great by me, and you're not wrong about comics having a lot to do with the way we came about to. ive just always been interested in the details of that limited edition draw, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! So throw me the dimensions for the header and I'll redesign it to fit that. p.s. Shouldn't that be "a drawing"? :P Edited November 6, 2017 by alive she cried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilly Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Took ASC's image and tore it apart. Split it into elements (Background and Logo). Background stretches forever, logo sits on top. Not the greatest for mobile, buuuuuuuut it looks pretty good. Background stretches FOREVER: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 it's a mighty fine start! my quips in the hollabox: 1) the mobile image is actually smaller than the text beneath it, which is weird. 2) that pee-ish yellow...is there any way perhaps a vomit-green might work better? just spitballin here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilly Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I would have to clean the hell out of it for it to work properly. It's all smoke and mirrors right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 aw damn - don't wanna make a mission of it, just some ideas! again though, i do like hte idea of a fresh logo for a fresh new board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilly Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I was going to make a longer post but the internet crapped out. The current image is an odd aspect ratio, and its trying to fit it all in a small space (giggity). The old image was a square, so it scaled properly. Totally hacked the transparency, and another background would totally expose how much of a hackjob it really was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilly Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Personally, I recommend something that would fit in a smallish square that would be recognizable when scaled down. I know there's a push for a new logo, but the old one was perfect in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Looks great on mobile for me. Just konda weird with the green color scheme. But other than that I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 I dunno man, it's squished & the colors don't look great...compare it to the text below, you can read the logo but everything else is all but unreadable I think it's an awesome idea for a new logo but what's there isn't doing much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Yeah, let's go back to the old one until this gets sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 So sorry for throwing this at ye and then scarpering. I went straight to bed after sending it on last night, and then had my graduation from college today. Just back now. Okay, first off, it looks God awful at the moment (that's totally on me). The green does not work with the faded paper background. I have a layered version without the paper, which I'll see how it looks in photoshop on the green. Give me a few minutes and I'll post a better version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alive she cried Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Cheers man. I feel so bad that you were left hack n' slashin' that image to bits when I had a layered version the whole time. Okay, so since the smaller details are completely lost when viewed on mobile, and if there's no way of using a separate file for mobile, then it's probably best just to cut them out sadly. Here's what I hope will look a lot nicer than what we have. And hopefully what it'll look like. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 that's awesome! gotta ask though: is there any way we can keep the side marquee with comics/games/music/ and maybe switch out sci-fi & fantasy for stuff we do, like culture, art, philosophy, movies or the like? the roots of our name/membership are most definitely in comics, i'd just love a logo that celebrates/shows a bit of what else we're about too. unless y'all think that's too much?

alive she cried Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Yeah, I felt that was a loss alright (and I meant to take out sci-fi and fantasy but forgot). It's just maybe too small to be viewed on mobile I think. But I could possibly run a little banner underneath the logo listing our favourite topics. If it doesn't look good, we can always revert to the bare bones one above. I'm off to bed now, but I'll upload an updated version tomorrow.

Stilly Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 The fun part, I was able to isolate the issue in the code, and fix it on mobile. Not so fun part, it stretches everything out on desktop. I don't drink / get paid enough for this job 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stilly Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Nick, the theme should be available to you if you wanna check it out. Only really works on the front page at the moment. In the theme list, it's listed as TownSquare_ALPHA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 yup, been using it since last night! waiting on ASC's update later, this works for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stilly Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Right now, only you, me, and the other DD's can see that theme (because testing), I've grown accustomed to the forum filling out the screen over the last few hours. If you guys are okay with it, I'm good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
