Steven P. Administrators Posted January 29, 2008 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hey guys, the Shift Linux promo is still the older 0.5 version. Can we have someone do a decent promo image for that area? I have snapped the minimum area it needs to fit: As you can see it's just loads of text, surely we can do better than that?

Barney T. Administrators Posted January 29, 2008 Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2008 Let me see if Max or Mr. Eggsalad can help out here...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Max Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'll get it done. When would this be needed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonRedMk Member Posted January 29, 2008 Member Share Posted January 29, 2008 Me and Neobond think alike :) Shift needs more promotion! (But no disguisting ads, is it possible?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted January 29, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 29, 2008 I would think that just making the links point to a current release would be a great improvement! Maybe sort of like how you find distros such as DSL organized on their servers. Different versions, by numbers, and one called "current" that is just a symlink to whatever the current release is. That way you just point people to "current" all the time, and not have to worry about updating the various links you have posted and spread about.

Steven P. Administrators Posted January 29, 2008 Author Administrators Share Posted January 29, 2008 Wouldn't it be great if there was a 0.6 in the corner of the image or something, that can easily be changed with each newer release (of course a new image per release is probably more effective) but anyway :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4CxbqFxVnstmA Veteran Posted January 31, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2008 Just a thought too, keep the big Shift logo but maybe also have small images for the different distros: a Shift Gnome image, a Shift KDE, a Shift Lite image....? These smaller images could even be variations on the Shift badge or something... like buttons to take you direct to the relevant part of the download area so you can choose direct or torrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Veteran Posted January 31, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2008 I updated it a little bit today. Nothing perfect, but the links are better, and it has details about Shift 0.6. I like James7's idea, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
