The second

[Gentley]

2. !

Allthough i`d like to see the whole design, im afraid the site might get pretty "pale" without the black background, Monocolor aint this cool anymore!

[_r.u.s.s.]

so this post gets deleted again if i say that i don't like the new design?

I prefer the second version of the logo.

It's clearer and easier to read, it stands out more.

I personally think the 2005 logo is the best the site has had, and still surpasses the current logo, and the new proposed logo.

I'm not really sure why I like that logo, I guess it just feels simple and fun. Less contrived and artsy than the efforts since. I think the earlier designs show their age


It can be seen on the AB History page, here's the image:

I do think the 'proposed' logo is much nicer than the one we have at the moment. Coupled with a new site, I think it will grow on me. Good work

I totally agree on the 2005 logo is the best we've had, but if we're gonna renew it, then I also agree on the 2nd being the best. Not only is it easier on the eye (slightly) but it also is closer to the older ones.

I can still tweak the logo of course so any suggestions are welcome.

And yes, the gradient will span the entire header.

It's still a work in progress though - I may still make changes.

I prefer the old(present) logo.

CrybKeeper: Why don't you just add a .com to the end and entry that to the "design-a-tshirt"-contest?

I personally prefer the old logo... I think it is bolder and captures what I feel the site is about better... DOS & other classic games.

If I had to choose between the two new logos, I would go with the second, but I think it is a pale entry to the current logo. If I were to make a change, it would probably be to keep the angle of the text, include some bolder colors (maybe a whole redirect with grays and blues, or as already suggested, green and black), leave the text font the way it is (it just screams classic programming), and create a shading that reflects either the letters or a classic, universal game.

Of course, just my lowly opinion; I think you guys rock at any rate. :thumbs:

The main reason for the change was exactly that angle. As cool as it may look on a t-shirt, it's very awkward in practical ways. Creating a decent banner is very annoying since you can't make a horizontal OR vertical one using the current logo without being forced to make the logo really small. There's a reason you won't find any major firms with tilted logos - they are a pain to implement.

The two current designs are really the same logo but upright with some modification to make it look a bit more dynamic. I'm thinking of slightly editing the second logo - maybe trying to add the shine of the first to the second, make the black shadow less thick, etc. We'll see
