Presenting the new Neowin Logo


Recommended Posts

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.

ADMINS, CODERS, SUPERVISORS

PLEASE!!!!

NO SNEAK PEAKS, NO MORE HINTS!!

I"VE WAITED FOR THIS OVERHAUL OF THIS SITE FOR YEARS!!!!

SURPRISE ME!!!! I KNOW I"LL LOVE THE FINISHED PRODUCT!!

Ditto. It's been such a long time since I've gotten a real surprise - just make it a good one. I know you will. ;)

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 A suggestion to reduce the beveled look as most feel that it is outdated.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

.will :)

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.

the staff shouldve kept this discussion in <the staff area>. just gather up the new disgn and bam, new layout. so nobody would moan about this and that etc.

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

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
