Question I'll vote for red too...

But does anyone else think we should still show the 4 doors open?



...If so, does anyone know of a better image showing off the 4 doors in more of a dynamic angle? Otherwise, I really do like the angle that Good Duck picked.

As much as I like a 4 door shot, that view comes off looking like an economy people hauler IMHO.

I'd prefer to visulize that car as a sports car, that just happens to haul 4 adults.

How about a logo that when you mouse over it the doors open? That would be quite cool. I will post my crap-*** attempt later.

I'm with you on that :D but the 4 door aspect is one of the features that does make it the RX-8 (not the rx-7)

isn't there a gif on one of mazda's web sites that lets you spin the car around and the doors open and close while you do so?
maybe we could "borrow" that? can you do an interactive logo like that? i dont really know anything about website building:o

I'll leave that to Mazda man I'm not a graphic web guru by any streatch of the imagination. Plus I really never learned how to get any java script roll-over effect to link and work right (but i could make a nice animated gif).

That is a FLASH object. I don't know anything about grabbing anything out of a Flash movie.

I could possibly make a gif if I could find two pictures at the same angle, one with the doors closed and the other open. Chances of that are slim but ill keep looking:D

Keeping the image small is a very good thing if you look at your server loads. At least on my forums. Adding java, mouse-overs, etc will add to the b/w.

Movement is more distracting.

Talking

Actually, I kind of like the existing logo. May I suggest to keep the logo but to have a "picture of the month" type header? I know I'm a newbie on this forum but on the Nissan Frontier forum, we had a picture of a new truck every month. Each member can submit a picture and the admin or moderator pick the best one and post it on the header. That way we'll have a new picture each month. Just a suggestion...

Only problem with that is, the image is not the production car.

But the items that changed in the production version are not visible in the current Avatar.

So what would be wrong if we change the avatar regularly and even included the RX-Evolv, RX-8 concept, and yellow pre-production versions. They are part of the RX-8 legacy. Additionally there will be updated production versions as the years go by. The sheet metal will change over and over. (Of course this assumes the strong viability of the product.)

What do the RX-7 forums use in their avatar, only the FD?

Looks don't matter when we have content and intelligent posters. Besides, my forums look better than all of them and I don't get that many posters :P
