Cole Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Hmm, pardon me for saying this, but maybe a just small teaser of the new design to help people visualize how the new official logo will fit. I would think that we could definantly get a great Neowin 4 out if you guys build it with the large neowinian database of members that made you guys what you are today. For large communities like this, the website should be built with a say by the community, that way you will be able to get something out great. BTW, OT: Will Neowin 4 have a custom CMS in place? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Vector.. Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I prefer the old logo, based seeing the two logo's side by side on a plain white bg... Maybe i will prefer the new one when it is in it's place in the new design, but at the moment, not all that keen on it, i agree with StevoFC, it looks too beveled :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) I don't like it alot. It looks like an overuse of bevels, satins and shadows. Not professional at all. It looks like a step backwards than forwards. Honestly, it looks like someone first playing with Photoshop made it. I was hoping Neowin improves with every version, but if this represents the quality of the next version, I would find it very hard to accept as an improvement.

DarkCircuit Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Damn .. are we noticing that this "Stone" that is so set, may be made of glass? Serriously, I think a vote should be put in place as to how fugly this thing is. The majority seems to think its blah. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZOOzzoo Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I really think the logos should be changed to more professional, polished and attractive look; those to-be-official new logos are worse than the current one. Those really look as if someone just played around with various filters and effects and accidentally achieved a satisfying look. I don't care how well it might match with the rest of the layout, the truth remains that the logo of this amazing website is ugly and many seem to be neglecting the significance of the logo. And the mods' comment that the new Neowin will match the logo worries me even more; does it mean that the rest of the website will be full of overused bevels and somewhat unrealistic shadows?

Kuze Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Not given my 2 Cents yet, so might aswell.I think the current logo is nice, I think the new logo is nice, not like we spend more then 5 seconds looking at the logo anyway ;) So I don't know why so many of you are annoyed some even disgusted over the change. Time to add that Milk to my Special K. 586370939[/snapback] Took the words from my mouth. Gotta say, i think it should have left till maybe late september to tease us though :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajter Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Well... I have to be honest about this one, I don't like it a bit... :( I don't like the bevel, satin and shadow. It makes it look very unsharp, and the fact that the N isn't centered in the surrounding "circle" makes it worse too. The glass look of the current logo is much better imo :) I think ZZOOzzoo already said everything I wanted to say... :yes: I really appreciate all the work you do for Neowin Flishfun, certainly no bad words for that. I also like your other designs, and that's why I'm dissapointed in the new logo, I know you can do much better! Anyways, just needed to get that off my mind, hope I didn't offend anyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 A quick mock up using the same effects applied in that new logo by FlishFun. Surely not the best quality though it was not intended to be.. but my point is that it takes more than just applying a couple of effects and calling it a day.

BOT: C'mon guys, the majority of Neowin users that have posted in this thread do not like the new logo, and honestly, I can not see how it will fit in an interface that will make it look better.

Presenting the new Neowin LogoSubtitle:>? Come feast your eyes!! Not there... [quotPost:b>? Okay everyone... I know you've been very anxious for the upcoming Neowin 4, and it's been a lot of hard work on all of us. Anyway, as a present for your patience, here is a sneak peak at the official new Neowin Logo: All this hard work we've put into the development is planning to go site wide by October 1st (if not before) to celebrate Neowin's 5th anniversary. Enjoy!! For those who like the other themes, here it is in all the theme colors: Not there, either. Steve just wanted me to post it so everyone could see. That's all. No asking for feedback, it's not even implied. I don't mind people posting their opinions, since they haven't seen the final product. The only thing that bugs me, is people who say this isn't hard work. I've m tons /i>of versions of the logo and the new site, and it take lot /i>of my time to get it so that Steve (and the other Admins) like it. While it might look unprofessional, people should know that I'm a bit better at making things than I may be given credit for... I'm working for the Administrators of Neowin. If they want a beveled black square, it's not my job to make a masterpiece, it's my job to make them their beveled black square. Some of my style is rubbing off on the site, but when is all said and done, it's still going to be what Steve (and the other Admins) think looks good. It's their vision, I'm just the one making it for them (and trust me, on some things, our visions and styles don't sync up, and I go with what they want). That's all.
