You can do everything you want.

Remember just one thing : what makes a good theme ? Balances & harmony.
Every little detail matters but you need to get the whole picture in mind.
That is why I was waiting for precise answers to my questions.

9 criterias, all connected and interdependent. You can't design a good site logo without a colour background in mind ...

❶ colour background
❷ board index margins
❸ logo
❹ site name
❺ right header
❻ board index : columns
❼ subforums : titles/images(?)
❽ subforums : buttons
❾ chatroom

I'll try to get to these tonight... pretending to work at the moment.

You're so kind sir I'll be delighted to so see how different it can be.

My vote is you do something not-so-different so as to piss him off

There. Now there's no way we can both be satisfied

You people are a test, I swear.

That's why you have to make the right choice with the colour background :

❶ colour background : you can change style's colors with colorizeIT.com and its two color sliders. For instance :

➤ versions 2, 3 & 4

Version 2, 3 or 4 ?



Something different ?

I like the light tone of number 2, very sand like.

Yes, I like the lighter one as well.

I read you loud and clear

Next ...

❷ board index margins

• option 1 : no margins
• option 2 : medium
• option 3 : large

Is there such a thing as something halfway between #1 and #2?

Narrow. I read this webpage on a monitor turned 90 degrees. Anything wider and it doesn't fit.

I like no margins but I don't really have a preference.

Hi everybody

I think you do'nt have to use these awful yellow, orange and brown colors. Even for a tribute to the original dune's graphical work.

If you want to perpetuate the Frank Herbert's legacy, it would be smart to show that it is still current today.

So heres my little contribution to the brainstorm http://www.colorizeit.com/styles/phpbb- ... h5ul5ts2dO



A little mix between "Ibad blue" and "desert sand". What do you think about it ?

I like my awful orange, it smells of dirt and ass.

I wouldn't mind seeing some more grey.

The grey rocks towered above him now, made giant by his nearness. As he
listened, he heard birds invisible in that cliff, the soft calling of winged
prey.

How'd you like that?


Still needs a bit of tweaking, especially with the blood top part, but you get the idea.

I used this Dune cover as basis, I dig the grey-ish Ibad eyes.

Fantastic!

Glad you like it
The same with the blood drop darkened.



Maybe smaller sizes need more contrast though.

Yes, I think so (good job btw )

Logo: some suggestions ...
based on DuneFishUK & Drunken Idaho's creations


darker version


... just my 2 cents

Definitely the darker one. Maybe even a color that contrasts more with the background?

The logo looks a little rough around the edges, doesn't it? Sorry to be so picky, maybe we should just go with a solid color?

I'm gonna try to get a better one that fits with the background, although I fear that a over complex banner that looks amazing in full size just doesn't translate well as a logo. But graphic design is not my job, so I'm learning one step at a time.
I could get another version of the existing one without the pixel edges too.

What do you guys think?
Also, is DuneFishUK still around? 'Cause he's way more qualified than I am in this.

(I have a graphic designer friend that might help if he's not too busy, I'll check)
