With the background removed.

Here are my half-assed attempts. Maybe I'll try something real when I'm in the mood (never).

In retrospect, the font's color sucks

Another approach supposed to blend with the background. Dunno if it works or looks any good. 'cause now it looks like shit.

Normal version with only the color changed.

Damn, that second one looks like ass. What was I thinking?

EDIT: Dunno if it's possible, but I think it would be cool if the banner/logo thing could cycle through pictures every time the page is reloaded. Maybe one for each of Brian's projects.

EDIT2: And the muffins.

EDIT3: Nevermind, I just actually read the first post

Alright, I resized it to be within the REAL dimensions. Took me forever, because I completely blanked on the fact that the width is the first number, and height is the second! Because I'm stupid!

Meister · 04-23-2010, 10:14 AM

Cool!

I think by now we got some common design elements going on though, namely the caption style and featuring a character portrait looking to the right, and I'd hate to deviate from those. Do continue to post images you think would work for that, though; or if you've got a particularly awesome logo with its own design choices, we can put that into the rotation too.

(And if you're working on something like that, I'm gonna say let's stick to 250 (w) x 110 (h) too - 300 x 125 is a tiny bit too dominating on the site.)

For reference, here's what's up currently - we're still ironing out some kinks in the rotation so for now it's just the second one that actually shows up.

You did see the script I wrote up in the other thread to cycle through the images, right? It's somewhere mid-thread in the images salvaged from the old forum. Just figured I'd point it out, if you missed it.

While I'm pointing out things that were missed from the other thread, there were a few icons here, and the thread locked "button" is on the last page. Sorry to commandeer the thread, just figured it was slightly related.

Edit: If I can give a design suggestion: Might be good to move the eight bit sprites over to the right a bit. The fact that Black Mage is -barely- touching the edge of the frame(Maybe? Hard to tell.) is a bit annoying. You always wanna over emphasize edges meeting, by either spacing them out far enough so that they are clearly separate, or make it so that they're clearly touching.

Edit II: http://www.nuklearforums.com/showpos...9&postcount=70 has the script.

Like these ones, are we gonna get a HIKYM one in the rotation too? Or is it gonna stick with those three?

Actually smiled when I saw snow coat wearing Robo up there earlier, cause I was hoping that one would get picked.

We've got a script in place and it's being tested currently. There are a few bugs & issues that are being ironed out.

Meister · 04-23-2010, 11:01 AM

Haven't yet found a good shot of Wong/had the time to edit one! Maybe I'll just snatch IG's third one from up there because it looks pretty fantastic.

synk came up with some good script ideas too, so we're going to try all those roughly in ascending order of complexity/usability. As for the 8-Bit logo, yeah posted like that the fade in-effect doesn't look as good as when they're up there in the logo space blending in with the site background, but I think it'll work in the end (if not, I can still make adjustments).

Just a quick heads up on those banners: They're still slightly off color from the background of the forum. I wouldn't notice, probably, but I took a screen cap of the forum to grab colors off of, and noticed that the background of the images and the background of the forum were very slightly off.
