New Logo

[Desdichado]

Old.....don't care for spinning, pulsing, dancing, or color fading logos.

blink blink ... riiiight ...

Here a really cool idea.

If you could make the globe spin so slowly that it actually follows the side of the earth the sun is shining on that would be at lot cooler. Animated, yet, appearing static at 1st glance.

Yeah! A 24-hour-long GIF animation! A 2.45 gig logo! Cool idea! And sooo easy to do!

Did you really think I suggested a full gif animation?

It wouldn't really have to consist of a whole lot of frames, one for every 15 or 30 minutes, or even every hour would suffice, since one wouldn't be staring at the logo all the time to check when it moved. rather it would be an experience like 'didn't it just move?', the only real problem is finding a way to turn down the speed of the animation.

One way of doing that would be to embed a program (in Java?) that checked the clock on your computer and downloaded the corresponding globe background gif from the server.

There could be other ways, but that seems the easiest way.

The real question is whether you think it's a cool idea or not.

Ok, Animation is voted down. So how's this (Note the Turkey logo goes down Friday )

I like the white, but maybe only because it is winter. The idea idea is good, but my nitpick is the space between the 'w" and the "o". Maybe it should say somthing about News, Reviews and Forums?

 

[Michael Morris]

Increasing the space isn't too hard.

Why a new logo? What's wrong with what we got? It's simple and elegant.

Russ took the Turkey!! I hope my goose isn't gonna get cooked....

Anyway, here's a 3rd take on this thing, proportioned exactly like the current logo.

That globe is really good, but I really prefer our current logo. I don't think we're going to make any changes in that area. As Tom says, what we have now is simple and elegant, and it's hard to beat that - nor do I think we should try.
