@Morrus - New ENW Logo

weem · 31st August 2009, 07:06 PM

I'm not sure my PM's are getting to you (since the first one I sent, the rest are timing out). So just in-case you haven't got them, you can grab the logo here (in various forms)...

Index of /upload/enw

The GIF's are probably best for the site.
The TIF's are probably best for high res needs (shirts, print material, etc)
The PNG's are just there to be there, hehe. Not displayed properly in all browsers but have their uses for sure.

If you need anything else, let me know

Thanks again!

I love the logo--congrats, Weem

--but I think there's a problem with the HTML, at least in Firefox. I can't click on any of the graphic links beneath it (News, Forums, etc.) They either default to clicking on the logo, or don't present as links at all.

I was coming here to report the same issue. I had to manually type in the /forum part of the URL to get here.

The logo is a link (A) tag with the logo image itself set as a backgound and the area (size) of the tag is squared up it looks like so it is extending down and covering the forums button.

Not sure any help is needed, but it looks like the problem is in the CSS...

#logo a
{
display: block;
height: 134px;
width: 210px;
padding-top: 134px;
}

#logo a with it's padding-top of 134 is creating a tall link (134px height PLUS the padding of 134, since it is inside the A tag, is 268 tall) and as such it is extending down over the links below (in particular, the "forum" link).

---edit---

Also, if you add in text-indent:-9999px; it will throw the text "EN World Home" off the page.

Same problem in (blech) IE6.

Ouch... 7 is bad enough, but 6? Yikes.

Is there a reason you haven't upgraded yet? Firefox, IE8, etc?

Sadly, we still support ie6 so I still have to fiddle with the usual problems from time to time to get things working correctly. One day we won't support it anymore, and I think that day is coming soon

I don't really have a choice in the matter, on my work PC here.

And no, I have no idea why IE6 is the browser of choice... It's painful, though. No tabbed browsing, pages not rendering properly...

At home, I'm using a tweaked-out Firefox. I was using Portable Firefox here, but ITS killed that idea.

I wasn't going to mention anything - I figured my problem was just because of IE6 - but I figured I'd add another browser to the data set.

I see it. Trying to fix it.

**Morrus** · 1st September 2009, 02:59 AM

Hmmm. Can anyone help? I made the two changes weem suggested, but it didn't help. I've attached the stlye.css file.

Remove the "height:" line from the #logo block.
The default height works, the overridden one doesn't.

Cheers, -- N

Nifft · 1st September 2009, 06:39 PM

A further refinement: use

Code:

 height: 102;

... in #logo {} instead of removing height, that will keep the overlap that it previously had over the lower orange bar.

(If you care. Looks fine either way to me.)

Cheers, -- N

Obryn · 1st September 2009, 07:39 PM

Not that I care overmuch, but can you think of a reason why it wouldn't show up on IE6? I'm not seeing the new logo, no matter how many Ctrl-F5's I push.

It looks fine from home, though!

Mouseferatu · 1st September 2009, 08:54 PM

Seems to be fixed. Thanks.

jeffh · 2nd September 2009, 04:11 AM

Once again, Ari beats me to it; but let me say anyway that everything is working normally again for me too.

qstor · 6th September 2009, 11:49 PM

Any chance of offering white t-shirts or other items with the new logo?

thanks

Could you make the logo clickable? I keep clicking it and expecting it to take me back to the main page, and I'm always disappointed when it doesn't work.

It actually is, but the clickable part is only like 10 pixels high.

This may be my fault for telling him to remove the "height:" line (which did fix the visuals) instead of telling him to set the value to "height: 102" (which fixes the visuals and is big enough to click on).

Sorry, -- N

It does work if you click on the -top point- of the d20 graphic.

I guess Nifft is the one to blame here, grab your torches and pitchforks!!!!

Hi Weem,

Might I ask, what font did you use for the "10 Years and Counting" text (as well as most of the text from the "Support EN World" sig pic)? Is it freely available, and if so, where can I get it?

I was thinking of making a logo for Living 4th Edition and though it'd be a good idea to have it match the sites logoage, since it's an EN World community project.

Thanks!

It is free indeed, here you go...
