9) Brandon...make one yourself, you lazy bum.

I like three the best, seems the most professional.
Also numbers 3 6 and 7 are links they aren't showing on the page like the rest

i like #1 and #3. i chose #1 as my final answer

They aren't showing because they were attachments to the post ... the others are hosted externally...




Oh, and by the way -- the winner's image will be put up May 28th, suppsedly the 1-year anniversary of the new forum system.

pick 1, pick 1!

i dunno about everyone else....but i like trial 3 by stevek posted in your contest thread

It that braille I see in the bottom of choice #3 ?? If so what does it say???

Any-who...I made my choice let's see how it does,

By the way Brandon, when does the voting end???

Next week ... tuesday I think.
The 23rd ish.

And yes, any braile readers out there.... please translate it for us, so I don't have to figure it out before I put it up there (if it wins)

i voted for #3, but i really don't think ya need to change it at all. BTW, it is braille, but i don't think it says anything
i got something like....zshed. jzdw jm bsj
then again, i had to turn my head sideways even to figure that much.

yes...i agree with the two posts after this one, number 1 is the best

Look closely at all of the graphics. Number one is best because it will blend in perfectly with the top orange bar ont he site. It also just looks nice.

Awwwee....

*Jnadke smacks himself...

I didn't know there was a graphic competition! I woulda submitted one... Is it too late? What if I make a really good one?

Hi all, Just wanted to give you all a full HTML view of the two that seem to get the most votes.

1 & 3

http://www.evbroadcast.net/delphi/one.htm

http://www.evbroadcast.net/delphi/three.htm

I think their both great, but if Sunny's voting for his I'm voting for mine!!! (You dont think Bush voted for Gore do ya!)

Good luck to everyone (sorry I dont have time to put them all in this format - these seem to get the most looks so I thought it might help the decissions. And it is best to see these in the proper environment before you choose).

Steve

PS: The dots are suposed to represent braile but I didnt take the time to download the font. If this is chosen, I will maybe translate the team name or something (If I'm given the chance to do that) Some one can start a poll on what it should say if they really care. But I suggest not doing that till we know if it even matters. Sunny's design is nice too!

I was gonna do that... but ya beat me :) hehe

nice work

the more i think about it the more i think u should keep the site the way it is...the navigation is perfect...theres no need to replace the old one...im the webmaster for my site and the navigtation hasnt changed since i started workin on it but thats because i like it so much and it works

i previously voted for three b/c i think it looks the best next to keeping this look...thats just my 2 cents :)

One! One! One! One! One! One! One! One! One! One! One!

That's so cool and needs to be upthere!

the navigation is perfect...theres no need to replace the old one...
 

PurpleHaze: The site Naviagtion isnt changing just the logo. That wont affect anything except the look!

Yeah.

Only the logo will change for now.


Once vBulletin 3.0 comes out in a few months, though -- the navigation will be the last thing on your mind regarding any changes to the site... :)

Uh oh Brandon, don't tell me it'll be as drastic a change as when we went from the tree style threads to this new one?!?!?!?!?!

vb 3.0 is supposedly going to be linear (like this one) AND tree-threaded (like our old one)...

and you, the user, can pick how you want to view the threads.


Among a bunch of other new features -- enough to bump the version number to 3.

Its set to be out in beta in the 2nd Quarter of 2002 [my guess is late June -> mid July]

oh....wow. I initially voted for three, but now seeing it on there, i don't think either of them look that good with the preexisting colors. :rolleyes: keep the old one, brandon. There's nothing wrong with it.

Im glad nobody voted for 7!!! Cause its terrible!!


(I made it)

Hmm.... someone vote for #7 :D

Anyways... #1 looks the best, but there really isn't any need for a new graphic. The existing one looks fine... unless someone comes up with something that's so amazing that it should be up there...

I feel the logo is fine as it is. The only thing I dislike about it is the sudden way that it just cuts off. Brandon, all that you have to do is just round that logo off and add a black bar to the top so the effect is constant - make it look like this:



The CD logo is fine as it is - simple and elegant. I like how 1 'attaches' itself to the orange VBulletin part, but the black/dark-grey outline of the orange 'attachments' doesn't fit and the font is kinda bleh - it's not evenly spaced and it looks kinda crooked. 3 is awesome, except for the fact that the white outline kinda blurs "Chiefdelphi" and makes it hard to read.

My advice, just add some rounded edges to the logo and a black bar across the top of the VBulletin header to make the effect constant

when is the new logo going to be announced? it's past the 1 year anniversary

Its tomorrow.

er, because my server's down for the day, I'll just attach that image that shows what I meant rather than just link it... here ya guys go

sheish SuperDanMan
where were you 3 weeks ago....

that idea may just take the cake.

Apparently not on this thread ;) I actually just saw this thread from the bulletin e-mailed out

Good Idea
 

I like SuperDanman's idea....plus it would be easier than going through a new "look" or picking which one actually works better...

Re: Good Idea
 

Yes, me too.

If he would've seen the other thread and voiced this idea, I would've gone for it right away. I apologize for going through all this, to just keep the same graphic.

I did change it a bit for a little change.

Don't worry, as I've said, once vBulletin 3.0 comes out, all of it will most likely change. I am going to try to keep it as easy for me to upgrade as I can, hense no big changes.

Anyway, thank you for all your suggestions and submissions to this poll ..

hmmm, looks a little awkward with the curve being a bit blurry. Everything else on the site is a straight transition from one color to the other - not sure if it's just me or what, but my eyes are drawn immidiately to the blur. It just looks outa place. Think you can make the curve and the the black bar more, er, I guess the word would be smooth rather than blurry? Other than that, nice job :)

Yeah.. I suppose that does look a little funny.

[edit] there. hope ya don't mind, but instead of wasting my time, i just 'borrowed' your clear curved edge :)

Shoddy. Shaw - deeee.
 

The gray b/g in the logo is a different gray then the background of the page. What kind of operation are you trying to run here, for pete's sake? I'd expect something like this on mismatchedcolors.org, but not here.

Also, the number 47 gets harder to read as it goes across the top. And "Chief Delphi" isn't capitalized. And you forgot the space between the two words. And... um... the period is square.

That's all I got.

Otherwise, great!

looks like brandon won!!!:cool:

Re: Shoddy. Shaw - deeee.
 

hows that go.....

'you cant please all of the people some of the time'

'... and all those people are browsing chiefdelphi.com'

:) j/k

...we're all winners............right? :p

I guess you didnt really want to celebrate the aniversary after all!

Looks good, but change is hard for most. I understand.

i like the new bar regardless of who won :D

Im thinkin 1

This is done & over with.
The new one is up :)
