Since we're getting a new domain name, we need a new logo to splash across our pages. I reckon this would be a great project to open up to the membership! There must be loads of creative designer types here who would love that...
:smokey: Entrants could submit their ideas into a "Work-in-Progress" thread and get feedback from the membership. Then they could submit their completed work to a "Final Designs" thread, from which a shortlist could be chosen by the Mods/Admins of the site. Lastly, a poll, like the one for a new domain name, could take place. Ah, c'mon, that would be cool! Get creating people! bouncy bouncy |

Actually, I think our designs should stay the same. AppleInsider.com should come up with different logos since the ones they currently use are Brad's property.

It might be better to get the new name first.

With the domain name change we have decided to break from .com so a new logo is definitely in order too. :smokey: bouncy bouncy |

I also think that the design of the site needs to be rethought. But before we have a logo of sorts, we do need a name. Design should always depend upon need, though. How complex is the site going to be? We don't need an over-designed massively complex header-thing on top of every page.
Maybe we should just start with a color and font scheme. |

The folks that started this site already thought about all of the content the site would contain before they began working on and implementing the design. I do this kind of thing for a living :smokey:

I think we should work on a Favicon first. I cannot stand the yellow-with-blue-V default vBulletin icon. In addition, the MacNN Forum uses exactly the same ugly-ass default icon.
I actually think AppleNova looks great without a logo. Of course, that shouldn't hold back anybody's creative juices. Escher I've been waiting for a true sub-PowerBook for more than 10 years. The 11-inch MacBook Air finally delivers on all counts! It beats the hell out of both my PowerBook 2400c and my 12-inch PowerBook G4 -- no contest whatsoever. |

Well, since no one probably reads the smilies thread except Paul, I thought I'd place the logo I made here so someone else might actually see it.
I like the header the way it is, I just thought we needed a good graphical representation of "AppleNova", that could be used in place of words. Anyway, this is just an idea of what I want to make. When I get my Photoshop running better, I might have something a little tighter looking. I was going to have the Apple off to the left side of the text, but LoCash suggested I incorporate it into the text somehow. Anyway: |

Looks great, Spart. I think the supernova apple logo might make a good favicon too.
When you rework the logo, you should try to make the contours of the apple more visible. Right now, the white supernova on the black apple blends into the black background too much. Maybe a dark supernova on a white apple could work better? Of course, a dark supernova would look more like a black hole than an exploding star. But what the heck, I'm just brainstorming.

Yeah, that was my issue with it. The Apple isn't very clearly defined. I really need to get my Photoshop running right again. It's just a matter of me being lazy...
I've also had thoughts of putting that the apple I made in the background, behind the text. At higher resolutions, it's much more defined. |
