New FF logo

m0nty · February 04, 2014, 04:53:39 PM

I have spent a very small amount of time, in the scheme of things, preparing a new logo. It's not that much different to the old one.

New:

oops I mean

(see below)

Old:

The changes are merely a cleanup of the edges, so that there are only 6 colours in the whole image now, and a change in font from boring old Impact to the hot new DIN, which is what the menu is done in now. This makes the letters wider, but otherwise not much different.

Continuity is the key here, plus alignment around the DIN font, which as you may recall is the same one used on the MCG scoreboard. I haven't implemented it around the site yet, as I would like to get your feedback.

Do not mind the new one m0nty but graphics is not my strong point.

I like the new font and the bigger gap of the red outline above the letters but I really like the old yellow. The new yellow looks really dull to me. The old yellow makes the lettering standout more.

Yep, well said Valk. I feel the same.

Yeah, just noticed the yellow. That new yellow is the original one I was planning on using back in 2005, but I must have brightened it during the process. I think I'll brighten it again.

Yeah I agree, the new one looks good but use it with the new yellow. :)

m0nty · February 04, 2014, 05:14:17 PM

OP updated with the new yellow.

Nige · February 04, 2014, 05:16:02 PM

Yeah, looks sick now m0ntz. 8)

Yeah that looks great

Reads/looks well M0nty. Will work fine.

What's with the Dark Side Of The Moon tab logo? ;D

Jroo · February 04, 2014, 06:01:17 PM

Looks good m0nty, not a massive difference, but looks sharper.

Toga · February 04, 2014, 06:35:55 PM

Agree with the general consensus - looks nice and sharp m0nts 8)

m0nty, aren't you forgetting this thread...

Your new logo is still stuck in the 2000s, like your site and forum. Harsh but honest.
