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

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

Yes, I like the lighter one as well.

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

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 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.

The same with the blood drop darkened.
Maybe smaller sizes need more contrast though.

Logo: some suggestions ...
based on DuneFishUK & Drunken Idaho's creations
darker version
... just my 2 cents
Re: Theme

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?
Re: Theme

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)
