Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

Thanks for your input
I can't read peoples minds to know what they want.
That is why there is so many images to get an Idea going

Didn't we decide about a year ago on a slogan?  Wasn't it "The 'unknown device' eliminator"?

As for the slogan I wasn't here a year ago & I did a search & couldn't find anywhere it was confirmed what is was going to be, just that slogan's was getting voted on.

Just my 2c.

For the red text that was just a random color, so they could decide on the font & now they can figure out the color
as for the fonts that is why I put both types in the banner

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

Sorry, my 'slogan' comment wasn't directed at you.  But to the forum in general.  I think I remember we had a private email vote.
I found the logo designed for the new site that never was.

The final slogan we voted on that got Bâshrat the Sneaky approval was: ***DriverPacks.net, the unknown device eliminator!***

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

Ok I got the image, now I will play around with it & see what I can come up with.
Do you know whom made this banner & if so could you see what app they used & if they still have all the files they used to make it & if I could get a copy of them to help me redesign it?
Thanks

Correct, as far as I'm concerned.

Looking at the logo and the context of computers I would opt for blue/gray?

Personally, I'd really dig the blue of the forum post separator bars.
Maybe even incorporate the same grey, too.
That would look like an identical cast.

Maybe like this (just a quick edit, was just refilling the fonts, hence the transparency will will likely be messed up):

The top one is very fine, could you adjust the colour, please?
Just want to see what it looiks like, then.

Re bottom one:
You should decide for one logo, really.
Using both looks a bit crowded for my tastes.

Also, the new font you chose (I really like the previous one!) has some little "wavey" effect on it (letters seem to go up and down, esp. noticable on the slogan)

Maybe we could use both banner styles (who said there only has to be one?).
Top one with the disc/cogwheel and bottom with the file cabinet.
Fans, who want to proagate the DriverPacks in fora etc could then decide on the one they like most.

Answer:
Ok that would be fine for the style you use, but what about all the other forum styles like Radium, Sulfur, Mercury or any of the others that a member can choose from in their profile? There is 6 to choose from. I can make the banner to match each one in color, but then you will end up with like 7 banners 1 for each forum style & one for the driverpacks base web site.

Answer:
Now it's the same as DriverPacks.net in the banner & it looks fine on a dark style like Radium, on the Oxygen style the Slogan is hard to read. I would need the files that was used to make this banner & know what software was used & what tools in that software was used to create it for me to match it excitedly

I wasn't going for color as much as getting a font style first the color is no problem at any time it can be changed.

There are other Forum styles???
Wow, honestly, I never knew!

I've been around here since when but it never even occured to me...
Guess that's because I'm fully pleased with the default one cool

Anyway, then it should match the main site's colour and style.
It's some blue/grey, too, albeit somewhat different (darker blue, if my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, not going to compare HTML colour codes right now wink).

Oh, btw, since you told me something new, here's my turn doing you a favour:
http://forum.driverpacks.net/help.php
This shows you (among other stuff) how to use BBCode, for instance for quotes.
Really makes them much easier to read that the "Question:/Answer:" method you've been using smile



EDIT:

BTW, this one http://teeswebdesign.com/dp_images/b8012e.png is very hard to read against the default medium grey background!
We should really try to find one colour that can easily been read on any of the Forum styles (since you can never know which one a user has set).

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

Thanks for the info but I know about bbcodes, I have more bbcodes than what this forum offers from my days running a forum, but the reason I chose this way it wasn't displaying the images right for some reason.

That is why I had the Slogan in it a little darker just to show that the slogan could be added & in a earlier post I ask mr smartepants if he knew whom made this banner & I need the files they used & know what software & tools in that software that was used to create it so I could redesign it. I can maybe put a shadow around the slogan for it to be easier to read in the liter colored forum styles.

BTW: I figured out what the problem was, for some reason I had to edit the link for the image that the quote tag used to get the image to show up.

Forum function to prevent images that have already been posted from cluttering the forum if they get quoted over and over again.
As you noticed, a manual edit "takes care" of that wink

Oh, and it didn't try to lecture you on forum tags, just looked like you weren't aware.
(plus, I had a somewhat hard time myself finding out which was the quote and which your answer smile)

The tag line on these last two is a tad small, IMO.
This is on a <100 dpi display, going higher may mean it's even worse.

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

Oh, well.

I mean, the tag line font size is a bit small making it hard to read (moreso because it's an all-caps font).
I am using a 15"TFT with 1024*768 resolution (hence noticably below 100 DPI).
If one was to use a higher-res display with an even higher DPI, the font would appear even smaller, making it even harder to read.

My personal suggestion is to keep the all-caps font for the "driverpacks.net" and use a similar-looking but non-caps font for the tag line to ease readability.

The common text size on this forum is not higher than that tagline, yet it can be read much easier.

Re: [REQ] Logo needed for DriverPacks BASE & favicon for website

Ok here is what I see that the font style is what you guys are having are hard time on deciding on in the Space style, so I have compressed all that I have & here you can download Space Fonts.7z to see what you want used.
When you all have decided on the font style you want used let me know & I'll make this banner below with the fonts you decide on
