Do you like the new form look and images?

 

[Netsky]

i hate it, i liked the old ones way more, the old ones looked more proffesional this looks to cartoonish/childish to me, the thing that bothers me the most is the logo change into a star, the font i can somehow live whit but the star is hideous.
Also what bothers me is that i fell the community has been neglected here by asking our opinion after the change, that's not really giving the community an individual opinion but forcing us an exchange which a possible majority doesn't like.
Kinda lost the community feel here unfortuntatly, i hope there's stil room to give the community in general a voice in this, this could happen in ventrillo/contest or just by debat.

Great, another thread for this!

They are aight. It doesn't REALLY matter to me, but I kind of liked the old ones better.

I sort of like it, but it needs improvement. I also wondered why the star is there?!

There needs to be an official poll for the community to decide the what the eGO standard should look like.

i like it, not as boring as the old one. seems like the web sites color blue is
lighter, not as dimm as before. looks like someone put some more thought
into putting it together this time, and alot more creativity. the old one was ok,
just seemed more generic. change is good, in this case a improvement. 2 thumbs up :thumbup:

that is my opinion, and why i voted yes.

 

[bodayga]

p.s.

<--- the ego star avatar is alot better then the old one. i hope we keep those . :biggrin:

The star has always been an eGO standard.

I like them. It's a new style for once.

I still have a chart of the "old old design" somewhere, I'll look for it and post it.

I'm sorry to say it, but this is bad graphic design.

I get that it's meant to look edgy and mimic the tread so many logos and brands are following.

Here's why it's a poor choice.

1. Visually cluttered.
2. Distracting. The old designs had soft edges and circles. This one's got the star points, and the saturated colors.
3. The font is unprofessional and has sharp edges, not to mention the fact that it seems to be in italics for no real reason.
4. I hate the font. This is the same as number three but it's my main issue with the design.
5. Others have pointed out the "cartoony" feel to it. This doesn't make it bad, it just means it needs to work. This design doesn't work for me.

I still can't decide if I like it or not. I feel the lighter blue color means we should redesign some of the other images (such as division tabs) to white or grey on blue, or give them stroke outlines to match the grunge-ish style of the new logo. It's certainly art, I'll give it that, and we did need some sort of copyright material. But the work is nowhere near done and there's still some inconsistencies (such as the old eGO logo still being in the footer and the fact that there's a circle in the star for es but not for eGs or eGOs on the new rank insignias).

 

[Mr. Lemming]

The overall design I'm fine with, but the font feels like it belongs elsewhere...

I think this is a great example of the age old 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. I personally don't like it. I think the star is too abrasive, the user ranks, quite frankly, look like something you'd expect to see in a Looney Toons cartoon.

The old ranks and font were appealing to look at, and lent an air of professionalism to the community, whereas the new logo has 'Disneyfied' it. I've also heard someone say that the new look is far too 'glitzy', which I completely agree with.

Perhaps before the higher-ups decide to make a huge brand change, it would be best to post some samples for the community to be able to provide input. The changes clearly aren't popular with a large portion of the active members, so now that they've been made, I think the best thing that could be is revert the changes and start a Leadership-sanctioned poll to gather input from the community BEFORE making any further changes.

I'm ok with them, good looking graphics so thanks to the one's who made them!

Although the old one's are more dear to me.

 

[Fermonx]

I love it. Simple as that. Of course the other ones have had a long story with the community but a change is never bad.
and the 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' doesn't means you will keep it. You will always look at something way better. Just like PC you got a good pc and it isn0t broken but you still get the new parts to adapt.

OH I'M DUMB! lol I should have realized

 

[mdgrim]

As stated in the front page post by myself. I don't like it, at all

 

[jhnsn]

What can I say? It's different, and obviously done by someone with artistic talent. It looks nice, but I said it already, it's different. It will take getting used to. As someone who designs computer graphics myself(badly but true) I can appreciate the work that went into this and am determined to keep an open mind here, as with all other things. Keep up the good work, and see you on the servers

 

[TheAngryAardvark]

Definitely need a fresh image can agree with that and i like the lighter blue but i have to say the older logos for the higher ranks looked bad ass BUT !! one thing that i really like is that our " e's " logo actually looks a hell of a lot better so much so i wouldn't mind putting up on some other forums in my sig. But you need a whole lot more work before this works .. although you are on somewhat the right track ...

On another note thank you for actually working on improvements for the community , it's good that your not letting things become stagnant , just next time poll it.

(psssst the wreathes on leadership look awful *sniff sniff* i loved those things on the older logos....)

 

[sgtdan707]

The new look is fantastic! I am a modernist and the old look.... well speaking for itself, looks old! I didn't even realize all the changes til recently and I think it looks pretty nice! It's appealing and stylish! Keep up the great work.

Suggestion for future idea; Maybe you can come up with graphics for the Division drop down menus at the top there?
