Forum theme!

Post by MentholMoose »

Hey I made a new logo and changed the color scheme. Like it? Hate it?

The theme was done with this:
http://beta.colorizeit.com/index.php?st ... subsilver2

Anyone have thoughts about what colors would work better?

It looks really nice.

And just out of curiosity, is the resemblance intentional?

Thanks for the feedback! I like the red Tangram logo so I just thought a red theme might work. The logo font is Nationalyze-Alp. The letters/numbers background in the logo is from the Dreamcast VOOT web browser, here:

The hexagon background image is from the old Dreamcast VOOT dricas site (long dead).

Looks nice but the current buttons dont seem to work very well, the red edges vary in width and are messed up on some. I'd prefer to keep the post text black, the current dark brown looks pretty weird and the red headers make it harder to view. A dark grey would probably look better.

I think you're right about the brown post text. I changed it back to the original, a dark grey (#323D4F). I'll look into tweaking additional colors.

I'm honestly not liking the red, but then again I like my blues and greens.

This is nerdgasmic to my eyes.

I salute you, sir.

Yeah, red seems too harsh to me. Although I often just see black and white anyway; a lot of times I like to browse the web without images and colors... cuts down on visual clutter. :geek:

I don't really like green and I am tired of blue. I used the colorizeit site to generate a black and white theme but it just looks kind of dead.
