Slowly redesigning the blog

I have started to slowly alter the blog layout. A long while ago we had an ADOM II design competition and for more than two years Kalle Kolaris header served us well (thanks once more). But now we are slowly creating a unified ADOM brand and Krys' ADOM designs (derived from the awesome tiled graphics we now have) will become a prominent feature of the new design.

If you don't see any changes please shift-reload this web page. Their should be a new awesome logo and header at the top of this page. And for the sake of completeness, here it is, too:

More changes to come over the next couple of weeks. And www.adom.de also will receive a revision soon. Obviously ADOM is currently in focus and ADOM II rests on the back burner...

The revised ADOM Logo

While we by now have discussed (and disliked) the initial ADOM Logo design attempt quite a bit Team ADOM (and particularly Krys who really has gone to far away places and beyond to find a great new design) have tried to come up with a better logo and icon design for ADOM. Here is what we came up with besides a new non-logo-design I also blogged about...

The revised ADOM-Non-Logo

A while ago I proposed a new ADOM logo - and it probably rightly was downvoted by many as not being a logo. Which technically definitely is correct. So Team ADOM continued to discuss the design for an ADOM logo and at the same time the initial "not a logo" design got refined. I totally love an adore the end result (even if it's not a logo) and so it will be used for "something" in the future (maybe on the back of the ADOM Lite RPG, maybe on the landing page of the to-be-redesigned ADOM website, maybe on all of those).

No matter what... here's the final "non-logo-design" we came up with.

New ADOM logo proposal

Hi everyone!

Amongst the things going on in the background is trying to find a new ADOM logo design. The future ADOM logo will appear in the game, as a desktop item, etc. We so far have discussed quite a number of designs internally and many topics have been raised. Without further ado I'd like to present the current favorite below. We are looking forward to your comments - I have consciously refrained from providing any explanations regarding the design in order to see what you make of it :-)

Let us hear your thoughts - thanks!
