New Site

AprecheApreche
edited February 2007 in GeekNights
As you may know, we've been working on a new theme for the site. Since I don't have to work until March 1st, I'm going to be spending quite a bit of time on doing stuff for the show. Recently I found a WordPress theme I like, and I have been modifying it into a decent replacement for the current theme of frontrowcrew.com. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like right now.

Nothing here is set in stone or anything. This is just what I'm fooling around with on the development server. Please express your opinion.

    As if! Black is, like, so 1995. I really like the clean white Mac-ish color scheme or, failing that, something bright and solid. One man-child's humble opinion.

    Black is good for the environment since it requires less electricity to display.

    GeekNights the eco-friendly site

    Black is good. I like black. Can't get enough.

    Can you do that black silk sheet thing?


    After looking awhile, I take that back. It's harder to read than a white background. Please keep a white background.

    Oooooh, I likes me that blackness. Keep the black. Or maybe have multiple themes (for the forum, at any rate) that the members can choose from. But keep the black. Or dark blue, to go with the nite-time show-ness.

    It looks nice. My only concern is how it's gonna work with the forum and readability.

    I really like the new theme.

    Forum's not changing. ^_~

    Good. I hate trying to read dark forums.
  • AprecheApreche
    Well, whatever theme we pick, we're going to change the heading of the forum to match the site. Other than that, the forum won't change much.

    I kinda like the site as it is, but this isn't a bad design. Reminds me of OC Remix a bit. I would prefer keeping the light colors, I've gotten so used to Geeknights having the nice clean page as HJ said. Also, do you ever plan on integrating your logo into the page?
  • MamathMamath
    Hey, yeah, is there a logo yet (even just a concept?) or is that still up in the air?
  • AprecheApreche
    No, there's no logo still. Also, you think the current site is a nice clean page? It's so cluttered, omg.
  • StarfoxStarfox
    I like the black. Dark background + light font = teh goodness.

    So the picture I see if I click on the feed isn't a logo?

    Scott, I don't know if I am hitting the nail on the head here or anything, but as soon as I saw that screen shot I said, yeah, night, this totally makes sense. Subconsciously all the colors coordinated, and alluded to a night-scape.
  • KieyKiey
    Do you want a logo? I have a few ideas...
  • SailSail
    So this isn't a logo?
  • ColinColin
    I too prefer the lighter colors as they are easier to read and easy on the eyes. Whatever design you choose, please keep the current concept of having things being easy to find and navigate.

    I had to laugh when Rym was talking about feeling like an old man due to something that happened back in the 90s. He's 25 or so. Try being born back in the 60s and listening to this show. Now that makes you feel old!

    It is ironic but Scott will probably end up working harder on the redesign during the time he is unemployed than he did when reporting to his last job.
