October 2014Initial sketches, designs and interactive versions.November 2014The design is implemented to the current forum software in a testing ground.December 2014At some point in this month the new version is released.
We could use a good graphics artist...
Pretty good, maybe change the location of it to put slightly less focus on it.
Edit: it also needs to have a shorter title, as mobile screens will break the line.
It'll not be the same on mobile. They are a step after though. For now I am focusing on the desktop concepts, then I'll move onto the mobile ones.Quote from: Cheat on October 09, 2014, 03:54:26 PMEdit: it also needs to have a shorter title, as mobile screens will break the line.
Right now I am working on the next step in the website's overall design...How would you feel about profiles actually showing Xbox Live, PSN and or Steam information such as gamer tag, latest played games and such, for those that have their gamer tag linked? Instead of it just being a simple link to your profile?
Wouldn't that require the accounts to be linked? Which in turn would require working together with Microsoft, Sony, and Valve to do?
This one is not necessarily an improvement, but I sort of wanted to play with branding ideas for Sep7agon to match with the design I have on my head, the current logo wouldn't match. (The edges look a little rough because I carelessly scaled it down from its original size, without cleaning it) The purpose is to listen to feedback though. Do you like the "O" being twisted like this? Do you feel the font matches more the polygon effect?Spoiler
I am a fan of giving more room in between the outer septagon and the inner one of the logo, though. Also, what don't are you using?
The bottom of the Sep7agon not running parallel to the bottom of the text is actually bugging me a little >.>
I guess Focnr is out of the job....SpoilerPlease don't hurt me Focnr.
So is Isara the new Focnr?
You are correct, I feel like punching in the face whoever d— Oh. Anyway. Yes, I need to fix the characters' bottom parts to run at the same height.Quote from: Septy on October 10, 2014, 06:30:07 PMThe bottom of the Sep7agon not running parallel to the bottom of the text is actually bugging me a little >.>Not sure who Focnr is...

Small version (Focus on header only)Large version (So you can check the surroundings a little)

I'm liking the upper right and the style of the logo is starting to grow on me (still not completely sold on in yet, but I think it'll get there).I am concerned about how you are wanting this thing to float on the screen (and by that I mean the image wasn't clear). Is it just the logo, forum link strip, and user info that floats? I am also worried about room for the forum links, as I'd like to have room for the HQ forum (for the staff) and a bit of wiggle room for another if we so please (and you're missing Gaming).I'm a big fan of the color and layout choices, but the selection box around the forum links looks out of place to me. Just some critiques.
