Please don't take an offense to this...

But what is wrong with the current one? It is basically the current logo with a basic bevel on it, which does not fit imo. Why not just cleanup the current logo instead of doing a new one?

Strikes me as that as well. This is the first I've seen of it and it seems like the shape has just been recreated and a little too much of the classic bevel/emboss property in PS (not that I'm saying that was used). I just wonder what it'd look like if it was a bit more subtle and smooth. I don't get the whole out of focus thing either, a larger size for show shouldn't cause that if it was made large enough :/

i was thinking the same. it seems like the bevel and emboss filter was overdone in here. IMO looks...oldschool.

but hey who am i to judge, its what the admins like that matters i suppose.

Ack, I'm one of the few who aren't keen on the new logo!

:unsure:  :unsure:

Oh well, as long as it pleases the rest of the community! (Y)

Yeah, We seem to be in the minority. But when I see strong bevels I just thing of AOL homepages, "LOLZ" and photoshop tutorials. Stuff like this comes to mind.

lmao... would less/smoother bevel make you happier (this is a design that wasn't used)?

Anyway, let's put it all this way. I showed a lot of different logos to Steve, and this is the one he really likes (the current one, not the one I attached). When put in the design, it looks very nice... ;)

Just messing around, maybe keep the original look, just make it not look so outdated (gradient wise.)

I like this one a lot. :) The extra stripe is (Y)

By the way, is the Neowin logo supposed to be reminiscent of the NURV logo from Antitrust?

Oh yeah, I like Timan's a LOT more. The first one though. I don't really like the stripe in the middle, no reason for it really. The first one you did is damn sexy Timan. I'd love to see that on Neowin daily :)

Timan's is nice and all, but it just wouldn't fit in Neowin4. Anyways, this isn't a "what do you think of this logo" thread, this is the logo. :p Those who really like Timans will unfortunately end up disappointed.

And will fortunatly be able to switch back to older skins :yes:. It's just an opinion of course, but if that's what all of Neowin4 is going to look like, then there is no way in hell I'll use it. Way to big and fancy. No offense, but it kind of looks like it was designed by a little 12 year old who just learned how to use all the Photoshop filters.

Again, that's just me, though it is unfortunate to hear you say with such authority that it IS the logo, no matter what we (the people who visit the site, and some of us, the people that help pay for the site) think.

Either way, I don't give a rat's ass what it looks like, I just visit the site for the site.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

      The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
