...Again: I'm not trying to combine them all :-)<br /><br />Kalles design is up because it (a) was my favorite for the website and (b) getting up the final thing takes some time. I didn't see any benefit in having the old JADE stuff up on the site - it's a time of change ;-)<br /><br />As for the design proposals of Wojciech and Ravenmore... from what I hear from them the idea of combining their talents didn't really work out... so it's now Ravenmore doing a final proposal and from the previous intermediate version I saw it's gonna rock.<br /><br />In any case I'd once more like to thank Wojciech for his incredible proposal... it absolutely rocked, too, and the margin was close. So much talent out there!The Creatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12906302439863860854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-38180519109815516572012-02-21T23:59:39.764+01:002012-02-21T23:59:39.764+01:00@Thomas, I fear I have pretty much the same feelin...@Thomas, I fear I have pretty much the same feelings of John. As a professional designer my experiences mixing up ideas from different people haven't been good. And, in general, the more coherent the graphic identity of a product is, the better it embeds itself in the mind of the target audience.<br /><br />I personally like Ravenmore's design over all the rest (and the website template could be adapted easily, and it is rather clean and nice) but whatever the style chosen, I'd stick to one and work on its strengths, rather than try to combine them all.<br /><br />Marginally, I can produce Wordpress templates, and I suppose that adapting a design to a Blogger one won't be that hard, so if you need help with that, I'll gladly contribute.Gatonegrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17399331862737494726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-9281083866041790602012-02-20T12:03:40.483+01:002012-02-20T12:03:40.483+01:00@John: This is temporary, as mentioned in the text...@John: This is temporary, as mentioned in the text ;-) <br /><br />Someone (probably me... :-P ) will have to transform the graphical design into a blogger template - which is not trivial at all. So to continue to move forward I decided to do the simple thing and for now put up my preferred logo.<br /><br />If Ravenmore and Wojciech manage to to come up with a great combination this will be put up as soon as I am able to do that (or someone else offers to do a blogger template).<br /><br />For now I am happy with the website showing ADOM II instead of JADE.The Creatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12906302439863860854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-74048252714341959432012-02-18T20:13:10.379+01:002012-02-18T20:13:10.379+01:00Is that "really bad" as in aesthetically...Is that "really bad" as in aesthetically displeasing, or "really bad" as in 80's skater slang?<br /><br />I'm so confused :-).wtanksleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03283393679440645366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-38773117360590874582012-02-18T04:00:21.967+01:002012-02-18T04:00:21.967+01:00The multi-hue is really bad looking.The multi-hue is really bad looking.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121511886494853529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-57447801775279772862012-02-18T03:59:01.619+01:002012-02-18T03:59:01.619+01:00I don't understand the use of Kalle's for ...I don't understand the use of Kalle's for the banner.

I find the end of the tail to be annoying for some reason.<br /><br />What I mean is basically just remove the end of the tail left of the "A".

This may sound sycophantic, but I had been wishing that the out-of-game banner (not necessarily logo) could be voted on separately, because personally, I feel exactly the same about Kalle's banner, and would love to see it remain on the site, with Wojciech's design, and Ravenmore's logo used as the actual game logo.oneoftheorderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09256927473311470877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-4016327827310255932012-02-16T14:38:28.727+01:002012-02-16T14:38:28.727+01:00Like so? http://i.imgur.com/BhPty.png
