Time to change forum picture?
 

Hi all:

I think with the latest RX-8 pics that are out, we could update the forum's picture? What does everyone else think? Time to change the yellow with a red picture?

I'm down with that. Maybe something a little more animated? Cool.

screw red i want silver! ;)

i got an idea, lets start posting some ideas for a new forum picture if thats ok with the moderators?

i thought that is what we were doing;)

Effort #1

Try and keep it the same height and width as the original logo to start out. (300 X 163 pixels)

My apologies to B00STD7 for poaching on his badging logo. ;)

Toadman:

I like that pic you came up with. Anyone else?

i liked that picture of the red 8, but make it black and you've got my vote!

no i want silver! :(

You mean like this:

There ya go, very sweet! If we stay with any small logo I'm sure our resident "photo-choppers" can come up with the other colors. Now how about background? Leave it white or shade it with each logo? The black one would look good with a gun-metal grey background and alternating silver/grey forum posts. Lets keep it simple for the 56k dial-ups, and rotate logos monthly maybe(?).

Someone post a silver one before Zoom44 goes postal on us. :D LOL!

Moving to Forum Suggestions. ;)

SILVER
 

Here's a silver.

ORANGE
 

Orange you glad?!?

I'd still stay with the red version. The other colors look good on the car, but the black and silver make the icon look monochrome, and even the orange looks a little thin compared to the red. It's going to be hard to improve upon the color balance of that red icon w/o using an annoying color that will wear on people very quickly.

Besides, for now, I think that having the same color car that everyone is seeing in this first round of magazine articles will be more recognizable to new members and guests.

I humbly suggest this as the new logo for this forum.
Sincerely,
Me.

:D

Good one Grimace!! :D

heres a couple of mine

silver

black

blue

Some suggestions, if I may:

-Although the font is pretty cool, it is normally a good idea to make the font on such icons easy to read. It's hard to read as it is, and it's going to be even smaller when it is put into place.

-I'd avoid using a black, or other dark car. Even though we might like that color, you really lose detail in a logo like this with that color, and it looks more like a silhouette than a picture.

-And I'd make the surrounding ring a more "muted" color, and the car the "strong" color (like it is now), so that the car is "highlighted".

and thank you for your support! lol

Here's an "cleaner" red.

GD, you hit the NAIL ON THE HEAD MAN!!! sweet ass...

black is the only colour of choice for the distinguished (and badass) carguy, such as you, myself, and a few others, but this red logo really pops off the white (being contrasting and everything...) background of the page.
kudos, m'boy. :D

Go with the red, IMHO.
