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 A suggestion to reduce the beveled look as most feel that it is outdated.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

I don't see a problem with neowins current advertising, I never look at the very top of very bottom of the page as the bit I want (everyones posts) are smack bang in the middle.

Hopefully you having put advertising anywhere annoying :p

When is this new site design going to be put up? Or is it still unclear?

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
