Battery Box Showdown (New Logo For The Forum)

Post by **eHoward** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 10:12 pm

Series8217 made a new logo to replace the old one that Shaun put up.

Who thinks we should use it? YAY/NAY

Anyone care to come up with something better?

I can give it a whirl. Check back in the morning. But I like where it's starting from.

I like it but I'll come up with something better eventually :afrocool:

Maybe some sort of mosaic of RFT member dyno charts and timeslips and autocross pics and etc. Goes with the theme, ya know? Once everybody actually gets their damn projects on the road!

EDIT: Oh oh! Idea!
Can we have a random pic displayed at the top next to the logo, out of a gallery of member's rides every day or every time a page loads have a different one? That'd be sweet!

I was thinking a Mosaic of a lot of the member's cars, but I really liek your second idea, that'd be HOT!

Yeah, I say lets do it if it isn't a burden on the server. Should be fairly easy javascript or flash (i know I could do it in flash). Then we can retain a clean logo but still have all the cool shit

Thats a cool shiznat right there. Kinda Ghetto-fied :thumbleft:

Can you make one similar to that but with more emphasis on the text rather than the car? When that gets scaled down to the size it would be on the top of the page the text is hard to read and the car looks like a big blob. If the car were smaller and maybe something added or moved around to adjust for that, that would loook great

Blue Shift, I'm going to punch you in the face.

I like it - the other one looks too clean cut for this place

Yeah, that's just a representations of the theme. I finished that up at 1 in the morning. No way in hell I'd want that particular piece going up. I'm working on something more banner like that uses those elements.

Warmer?

Series8217 · Post by **Series8217** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 1:08 pm

Sweet! That's more like it!
Could you try the same with some side shots of thecar instead of rear?

By the way.. shouldn't we NOT be using Old Europe colors??

stimpy · Post by **stimpy** » Fri Oct 14, 2005 1:17 pm

Red, White and Blue is Old Europe?! I hope you choke on a Freedom Fry!

Also, I think that's the sexiest angle of the Fiero, bar none, so I have a lot of shots from that angle. I have some good side shots too, but I really like the rear 3/4.

Is true, mang!!

This link should give a full size view of what it would look like full screen as a header.

Call me picky, but I think the car ends up looking like a bright colored blob once it turns to banner size. a side shot would probably work better because of the more recognizable profile. Don't get me wrong; I love the character of that rear shot its just it doesn't work too well at small size.

I agree, you can't really tell its a Fiero if you aren't familiar with them, it looks just like a Ferrari or CRX.
