Yay! Love the new logo

mmChronic said...

Fantastic isn't it?

That's Merg's handiwork - you should see some of the ones we rejected. It was a very close thing.

Colours are my choice (inspired by the logo) - direct whinges at me re them. If enough people hate them I might change them.

Newcastle Photos said...

Colour is a little sickly looking, nothing seriously bad. Different is the word i'm looking for.
10/10 for logo though.

Yeppers! Nice work Merg.. (and mmC) New Links redesign #325643715 is the best yet!

Bryn said...

good work, fellas.
Can I design one too?

bungers said...

Watch out for Google Style 'special edition' logos in the future, maybe.... ;)

mmChronic said...

And there's more to come.

The arrow icons need replacing with something (the've jsut been recoloured for now) and we are going to replace the links in the sidebar with the oh so trendy 80x15 buttons - like the Newcastle in teh ind Us In section.

bungers said...

Yay! It's a banner contest!

w00+!!

mmChronic said...

Merg has another handful of logos and we were thinking about possibly rotating them. But we could do certain googlesque logo's for special ocassions - like an NL trip to the moon. Or something.

bhell13: Feel free to knock one up. That goes for anything on here. If we can improve anything we should - but that logo will take some beating!

bungers said...

Can I petition for the inclusion of lightsabers..??

bungers said...

That would be cool... sort of like that bit where Nsync wanted to get into episode II, and didn't. We'd be, like, Jedi Knights.

I put that I was a Jedi on my census form... :p

mmChronic said...

Was that under religion or occupation?

bungers said...

Religion. I couldn't spell it in the above post, so I just left that bit out. :)

Yay, Merg is awake! Lightsabers please Merg!!

Bryn said...

Jedi, meh!
I put Sith on mine. :)

bungers said...

Cool.. bhell13 gets a red saber then. mmC already said he wants one of those Darth Maul ones..

I'll have the green Luke Skywalker one I think then.

Apparantly you have to watch episodes 4 thru to 6 again, cause all the lightsaber fights are just two blokes hacking away at each other, and there's no real fight 'choreography' involved in them (like wot's in the "new" ones - Episode I and II).

Newcastle Photos said...

It's not fair! I want a green one too.

bungers said...

Real nerd stuff..

There's actully different Jedi styles too... after the death of that Quai Gon Jin guy, Obi wan focussed on style 4 rather than style two... it's more defensive (for blocking blasters etc.) you see... but that nasty guy Christopher Lee played was a traditional style 2 bloke, which is more offensive.

I heard that somewhere.... I'm sure you could actually find more about this somewhere.. but I want to go home tonight... :)
