Now that they have been resized down they look a lot better... if they'd been that size to start with then I doubt there would have been anywhere near as much fuss. I am looking forward to the new design with much anticipation now.

Maybe when you release v4, bring out ye old 'time machine'. I'd be interested to see screen shots of neowin through the different years. Maybe someone can remind me how it looked when I first joined? (June last year)

Ahem .. lol.

So from what I see, in all of these posts are ...

1. A suggestion to reduce the beveled look as most feel that it is outdated.

2. Another suggestion to lose the bevel

3. lots more of the same.

I dunno ... just an observation from ALL of these posts. :whistle:

When do we get to see the new board anyway?

And what you are obviously missing is....

1. The creator isn't changing the logo

2. The admins aren't changing the logo

I dunno...just an observation of my own.

Nah, just pointing out that it's not me thats missing this, ... its about 80% of the posters in this thread. But, I think they are voicing their ideas anyway because they are hoping to be heard .. imho. Dunno... :huh:h:

Flish, I usually am a big fan of your work. However, I'm not fond of this new logo. I hope you can seriously consider some major revisions. I could use a little less bevel and and gloss. I feel like we're taking a step back in time (this logo seems very 1999 to me). Try going back to the basics. The lite logo (as said before) is a thousand times better than this new one and even the current one (and I'm a big fan of the current one). Thanks for listening and considering my suggestions.

Dark you didnt read enough of the other 20% of posts. Saying that it was a mistake to post it because the new layout really supports the logo and doesnt stand out so much. Its like looking at the cover of a video game and saying the graphics suck.

I agree. Seeing one small part out of context is just too much of a tease.

<non-factual information removed>

This type of thing needs to be decided by staff. It has to fit with our existing branding, it has to be visually attractive, it has to be easy to implement for the coders, it has to be efficient for the servers in terms of processing and bandwidth, it has to incorporate advertising without being obtrusive and it has to be practical to users.

Yes, it is easy to design something based on one or two of those criteria but it becomes more of a challenge to incorporate all of our needs. I think that Flish has done an excellent job just as I am sure the coders were do an excellent job in the implementation.

Eventually, I think most of you will be happy with the final product. Until then, you just need to wait and trust us that it will be better than 3.9 (trust me, it is not a step backwards).

Our goal is to get this up in time for our 5th anniversary (this October). As it is, it's coming along very well. The ads are still there, but I think the way they are, it works well with the design, as opposed to just being there. :yes:

@Fred - Pssst... Steve (Neobond) wanted me to post the logo. We were originally just going to keep it all behind locked doors. ;)

The non-factual information was removed from my previous post. :D

As long as I can blame Neobond then... let's not have any more sneak peaks. :D

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      By excalpius · Posted

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
