How would it work if it was at less of an angle (just enough to show 3D-ness)? This might allow a bit more space for the II to be a little more distinct.anoddladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227191193335010364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-43359220279477638522012-03-01T12:07:06.261+01:002012-03-01T12:07:06.261+01:00Text is hard to read.

When I look at the page, all I can see are the links... try to read the content, but my eye just gets tractor beamed over to the tag cloud on the right.

...I really like it! I only have 2 minor comments.<br /><br />1. Why is there a tiny period between the "A" and the "D" in the main logo?<br />2. Shouldn't it say "Legends of Ancardia" as the sub title below ADOM II rather than " ancient domains of mystery"?<br /><br />Really nice work.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03656572571583647423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-76534818226835460882012-02-26T16:23:25.497+01:002012-02-26T16:23:25.497+01:00I like it!

I always visualised ADOM to be something like Tolkien's world, which is not really cartoony. <br /><br />Just my opinion though. Most of you will probably disagree.Arttu Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725603507108022404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-15275857069059710872012-02-25T15:23:13.826+01:002012-02-25T15:23:13.826+01:00I like the logo block direction, but it now seems ...I like the logo block direction, but it now seems to be a bit out of sync with the other parts of the site design, since there are no other elements with the diagonal perspective (aside from the candle). Some visual way of connecting the perspectives, like in the initial version, would be very nice. <br /><br />And I'd also keep the "@" from the first version. It connects the look to the roguelike context, without it the logo block is much more generic.<br /><br />The letterspacing, especially in "II" could be worked on. "ADO" also has some shading on the bottom of the letters and the rest of the letters don't but I suppose that is still a work in progress. And I agree with Lyle, the body text contrast is quite low.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to see further versions!Güütihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02509972567001919022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-48245323719396670792012-02-25T04:00:03.791+01:002012-02-25T04:00:03.791+01:00I'm finding black text on a dark grey backgrou...I'm finding black text on a dark grey background a little difficult to read.

I thought the original design looked too gloomy and this helps mitigate that problem.pnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086000720080633764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-33459669664190901162012-02-25T02:07:44.528+01:002012-02-25T02:07:44.528+01:00Nice.
