Nexus Logo - Background Suggestions

Mystic Dragon · Post by **Mystic Dragon** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 2:20 pm

Alrighty then, here are my submissions. Xalia, you can vector them if you want but unless one of the black and white ones wins, the only one I'll really be using is my heraldy. :3

This one is based off the Warren's heraldy.

This one is based off an old background I used to use.

And this is the Warren's heraldy. It incorperates all the colours that represent Mystic and Aaron; red, blue, black, white, gold, and silver. The dragon is white as a tribute to Kinr and the old Orders.

(are we ever gonna decide on this? o_O;)

That's what I was just wondering Sargon! Is anyone else planningon submitting or should we hold a vote?

>.< Sorry. I've been... busy. Poll is up now.

I must say, that I really like Mystic's firebreather the best. It's quite dynamic, and I'd love a T-shirt with that on it. XD

it said to say which if you liked somebody's who had more than one... so.. uh..

i liked Yakima's second one - the more square-ish letters, if that makes more sense... ^.^;

I like Yakima's second one, too

::casts another vote for Yakima's second::

Silver Midnight · Post by **Silver Midnight** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 5:53 pm

My second choice would be Yakima's second logo, but to me it looks a bit too...technical. Nice and clean, yes, but it kind of lacks the "Fantasy flair" I'm so fond of. Reminds me of something more Sci-fi-ish.

Yakima · Post by **Yakima** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 6:49 pm

*winces* I only like the size of the dragon in the second one, not the font. I want to change the font on both actually as I'm not fond of them at all. *shrugs* I voted for mine in general but I do like Mystic's first if I had a second choice. The placing/size of the words bugs me and cleaned up it would be nice. Also looks too hathian-ish which is fine if it's the heradlry...but, well, that's my opinion and as I should be cleaning/packing for camping tomarrow...well, yeah...

I'd like it to look cleaner too but, as I've said, I don't have the programs for it. I was rushing to get these in before I closed it and put up the poll, so I didn't take much time to 'fine tune' things as I would have liked. Personally, I voted for Yakima's second. It looks more 'offical' then any of mine.

Five more days remain to vote for the Nexus logo!

(Thanks Phe)

Lerial · Post by **Lerial** » Sat Jul 23, 2005 3:50 pm

And I'd be voting for the one with the blockier text rather than the rounded text. (Yakima's)

Mystic Dragon · Post by **Mystic Dragon** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 3:17 am

It's offical! We now have a logo!

Xenoqueen · Post by **Xenoqueen** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 10:43 am

As for a new background, as far as I can tell, any background image wouldn't be very visible. You see the thin grey border around the white square that takes up most of the screen and is the background for the majority of the page? That thin grey border is actually the true background. Not too visible, is it?

However, the board's colour scheme is totally customizable. I've got colour options out the wazoo that can be changed around.

Also, some images that *could* be nicely customized? These guys, for example.

All those little icons that mark threads and whatnot, I can replace. So anybody that likes icon-making could come up with some dragony icons to use in place of those, and I can edit them in. Course, those should probably be done *after* a board scheme is developed, unless everyone is totally happy with the colour scheme as is.

Here's an example of a phpBB board that's been customized:

Yaay congrats Yakima!

We should have little dragon-egg themes.

Post by **Dray** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 11:46 am

X33! Normal eggs for regular topics, cracked eggs for unread topics, shaking white eggs for hot topics that have been read and shaking, cracking eggs for hot topics that haven't been read?

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 12:43 pm

Eeee! yes!

Xenoqueen · Post by **Xenoqueen** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 1:14 pm

Liiiike... these?

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 1:39 pm

Oh you're good... and fast... and good.

Mystic Dragon · Post by **Mystic Dragon** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 2:27 pm

Woot! Go Phe. XD Those'll be perfect.

Yakima · Post by **Yakima** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 8:52 pm

*shudders* Yeah, that was the one I didn't want to win because of the font, too...*makes face then sighs* Well, if you all liked it, I guess it's alright...

Silver Midnight · Post by **Silver Midnight** » Fri Jul 29, 2005 11:50 pm

I think next we should choose some general colors for the Nexus, so we can customize the board.

Eeee! Eggs! -cackles- I love the eggs.

Sargon · Post by **Sargon** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 4:18 pm

If we do the black and white theme and we wanted general colors, i know my opinion counts for nothing but we could do black white and yellow. Or red or green or something. Or since we're girls (most...of us...) we could do pink or purple and black and white. Since Yamika's design is b&w i think we should incorrupt that into somehow.

:3

*smacks Sargie with a trout* Your opinions always matter! Everyone's opinions matter!

*discreetly switches Yamika's name back to Yakima*

I like have the main colours light. Having it on a black background makes it difficult to read.

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 4:56 pm

Question... why isn't the new logo showing up any more?

I would rather keep the light color scheme too...

Mystic Dragon · Post by **Mystic Dragon** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 5:00 pm

o.O It is for me.

Shard · Post by **Shard** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 5:57 pm

Ah. Weird. I refreshed and it came up fine. I don't understand how after 2 or 3 days of it being up, my home comps cache had kept this... ooooodddd.

Starburst · Post by **Starburst** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 7:05 pm

I'd like to make a suggestion for the 'new topic' and 'post reply' images. The new topic image could have a dragon half-hatched out of the egg, and the reply button could have the same dragon doing something else. Or we could make more dragon silhouettes to go with the logo.
