Presenting the new Neowin Logo

[Galley]

They're "squishy"! (Y)

[Timan Veteran]

Yea, they'll pretty much saying the logo is set in stone.

Maybe if users come up with other "alternative matching styles" for the homepage they will allow them to be added? Same goes with the forum skin.

I love that one, very nice.

but, before i make my final judgment, i'm going to wait to see Flish's logo in the final design, nobody can really say yes or no without seeing it in the final design.

looks great, good job

[Eli]

I so want a scribble theme.....

[LiThIuM]

lol, sorry to be a smartass, but this cracked me up when i thought about it...

"neowin changes it's logo to match the new ie7 logo!"

[Steven]

For us neowin elders you have to understand how long we've (I've) waited for Neowin 4.

I know its been a long time coming. I'm so proud of the job the neowin team is doing...

PS. Thanks for 4 great years Neowin. :) https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=358038

It seems like this topic is turning into "Post your ideas for the new Neowin logo" when it really shouldn't. While your input is, I am quite sure, greatly appreciated, this topic is to discuss Flishfun's new logo, which is "set in stone" so to say, and is destined for Neowin 4, whether Timan or n30w1n's logo is better is heresay :).

[Eli]

Well Flish did make the scribble theme look.......So I'm still supporting his cause

OK, I just looked at this topic as a means to suggest improvements (or other similar designs), as otherwise there seems little advantage to unveiling it early.

I don't mean to offend FlishFun but I believe some of the other designs (namely Timan's and n30w1n's) are better and I would hope that, even now at this late stage, these other designs would be considered as possible replacements. Still, I will respect whatever design is chosen... I'm just voicing my opinion.

NO, they aren't better. They both look nice individually, but wouldn't fit AT ALL with the overall look of Neowin 4. This is the point we have been trying to get across the entire thread.

Exactly, I couldn't agree more. If you guys aren't looking for our suggestions, then who cares what it looks like, just get it done and put it up. No need to bother with this topic. The only reason that could be given for a thread like this is to tease. :no:

Anyway, I think this thread was destined for disaster from the start, and if that couldn't have been anticipated before posting it, then... yeah I dunno. It was a useless topic, that could only possibly cause arguments. Don't tease people, and then yell back at them when they give suggestions. :rolleyes:

[L3thal Veteran]

They look enchanting (Y)

:laugh: ....doh wrong thread..

It's no different than software companies releasing 'teasers' or screenshots of new games. They aren't looking for suggestions, just giving people something to look forward to.

[TheTerminator]

NO, they aren't better.? They both look nice individually, but wouldn't fit AT ALL with the overall look of Neowin 4.? This is the point we have been trying to get across the entire thread.

586369552[/snapback]

How can you say they aren't better? Better is an opinion. I believe they look more pleasing to the eye, which is the point of logos, hence my belief that they are better.

What I'm interpreting from your statement is that the "worse" logo by flish goes with the site really well, which to me means that if a "bad" logo goes with a site well then maybe the overall design is "bad" as well.

I am in no way hating on or insulting anyone here. I am sure I will offend some, as peoples personal work and taste is involved, but its not my intention. Im just throwing in my 2 cents, which seems to be in line with at least a few other members.

edit: by "bad" and "worse" all I mean is in my opinion, comparing them to neow1ns.

lol... I think you're asking for trouble. :wacko:

I have a feeling that this thread will be shut if it continues like this, though I am intruiged as to how n30w1n's design wouldn't fit in as design wise it has a near identical layout/theme to FlishFun's. I'm dropping this now, as I'm really just knitpicking - however, would it be possible to have some of the logos contributed here as alternative themes that we can select?

[Bearded Kirklander]

Nobody likes to have their hard work criticized. Many people can take it very personally and get defensive, resentful and hold a grudge.

We should all know better than to give in to the urge to do so.

The proper response is "Thank you ma'am, may I have another"

Errr - wait - I mean "That's nice, dear"

Yeah - that's it.

It's like when a chick goes "Does this dress make me look fat"?

It's just not a place you want to go, you know what I'm saying?

:woot:

(just pokin' fun, fellas. all meant in a positive spirit)

[AJerman]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to second closing the thread too. I don't like the way a lot of the staff is dealing with this, and the reactions from the users isn't very good.

Chad, don't tell people that their work is NOT better, or else you're just as bad as people saying the original is bad. No one's work is bad, it just may not look best to someone. They may not fit into the theme as a whole, but guess what, the majority of the people here, haven't seen the full theme. All the more reason that this thread is useless and can do nothing but cause problems.

Everyone just needs to calm down and take a step back.

[n30w1n]

Err, for the record I never suggested that anyone use anything of mine anywhere :ermm: I only ever posted my picture for feedback on my art..

[Bearded Kirklander]

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

That one makes me think of the Pepsi Generation! :D

[phunny_pharmer]

art is never bad

for the new icon or wahtever, it hink it looks really great. idunno how it could be bad.

its just for other people, the design could not be everyones best choice. its like pizza, not everyone likes anchovis or however you spell it, but somepeople LOVE it. it goes same with the design, so its best not to say mean things man and perhaps maybe just give suggestions that yo umay think could improve it.

[[bear]]

Actually, thinking about it, I think it would be good if n30w1n's logo was used for the final design... it looks very similar to FlishFun's, yet looks much more professional and is certainly more pleasant to look at. Design wise it shouldn't be too hard to incorporate as it is virtually the same in terms of design. Afterall, we should make use of the talent in the community.

Any chance of that happening?

i like how this has turned into a suggest logo replacements thread when nobody has seen the actual neowin design. Way to be blind guys :sleep:

move along. Logo set in stone.

[se7en.hu]

I read the first 40 posts and everyone seems to like it :huh: I may be missing something sorry, but I dont see what all the hype is about it doesnt actually look all that great in my veiw, I do appreciate and respect that the FlishFun dude or whatever is putting in his own time to create this etc. "However all this hardwork" :s ? I mean honestly that looks like a vector with a blue color overlay and bevel and emboss filters applied making it around a 10 minute job maximum.

And actually I think I like the old one better :blink:

586369655[/snapback]

I know we haven't seen the new design, I was just commenting that the suggested logos are very low quality and the bevel looks all out of focus and low resolution, whereas other logos contributed keep the theme but improve upon it (imo).

And actually I think I like the old one better :blink:

586369657[/snapback]

As do I, but I'm sure that's because we haven't seen the new design.
