New Logo:

I know I'm a new member, and I hate to assume things, but I think it's a good look for Sythe. The shooting-star background vastly contrasts the Sythe's medieval/egyptian look, but I think it was a good match-up overall. Too bad the advertisements block more of the shooting-star background

Way to go Sythe.

I think it was a test, its changed back.

I think it looks shit honestly. It makes sythe look like we're a guild website. So much less professional than before.

I hope it's not permanent, it takes forever for the logo to load each page. It hurts your eyes too because you have to strain them to click the hyper links above the dark blue.

Yeah. The background is fine but the logo is quite honestly terrible. I wished Sythe knew web trends and stepped in and picked Alt's logo instead but it looks like that won't happen.

 

You guys can switch back to the old theme at the bottom of the page. Select NextGen Lite (as opposed to NextGen Lite - MoonGlare.)

If you have minor gripes about the logo or background you can send them to MoonGlare and he will take them into consideration in revising the theme.

 

It's a nice fit

 

If anyone is wondering where the new logo and background came from, we've been running a competition for the last two months. Here are the threads.

The community had ample opportunity to retain the existing logo/background.

Oh silly Matt. Let me fix that.

Holy mother of god that background looks amazing. I like that Richard incorporated the option to switch back to the previous logo + background for users that don't like this one.


The Sythe.Org Forums > Our Community > Feedback New Logo:

^ text is a little hard to see now with the background now.

The logo is more or less fine. Although I think it'd be nice if Moon made a few more adjustments to background so it's more compatible with the current Sythe page layouts.

Saying it was up to the community is kinda lame considering that we've already established there has been some cheating and large discrepancies in the votes

I'll hit up Moonglare though regarding the logo.

 

EDIT: On second time going to it, it is on longer there

Another bug I've found Sythe. When sending a private message there is no transition and that black area is yuck:

Not a bug. It's the dimensions of the background. If you look at the previous background + logo, you'll see it had a bottom background image stuck to the bottom. I guess Moon could make something for the bottom part page too.

I'm just going to stick to the older Nexgen style...


Edit: It is saddening to see Sythe fall in to the generic and indistinguishable look that plagues fan sites and lowly gaming/guild forums. We need a logo, not some over-sharpened text from c4d with ill-thought out kerning, spacing, proportions, size of type, and random motifs that serve no purpose.

Sythe.org needs something that identifies this as the top gaming site on the internet as well as the hub of virtual trade. It needs to be remembered as well as remain relevant in years to come, and despite what anybody says, the current and future member-base will quickly tire of the new design.

Dislike the logo. Background is decent but seems rough and needs to be refined. Oh and, prefer the old one.

I figured a lot of people were going to say that lol.

I like the background but not the logo it looks like wierd idk just wierd I dont like it please change..... looks prehistoric or something.

 

Easiest way to change the site is start a petition and get everyone on board.

Can you make it so when someone logs into their Sythe account/visits the forum, once per 24 hrs they are given a popup-screen that tells them to vote on the polls and redirects them there?

I agree with this, as I said before.
