Game! - Where the stick is mightier than the sword!

how about a new theme for the forum? or maybe just replace the phpbb logo. not that anyone is ever reading any of this.

Feel free to submit a new logo, I'm not particularly attached to the phpbb logo.

The stick isn't the right size, unfortunately.

how about the wise sage?

Probably too large, and possibly the wrong aspect ratio.

hmm game! needs a logo... yeah

Any ideas yet?

wise sage on a stick?

What dimensions do you want the logo/banner/whatever we're talking about to be?

I could try photoshopping something when I get home.

Cool. It'd be great if the logo could replace the current logo down the side (not in the forums, but in Game! itself), which would be 52px tall if it wasn't rotated 90 degrees. Width is fairly flexible, anywhere between 150px and 300px is probably fine.

For the text that borders the right of the page....there's really not much that can be done with it. The general color theme is white/blue/grey, the only real 'improvements' for it (without it screwing with the blending of the rest of the frames) would just be the same thing w/ text effects.

That's true. In that case 100px or so is good for height.

I normally make sigs/avvies, so I wasn't expecting huge results.

I made 4 attemps and whatever I was left with was either just as good if not worse than the text that was there. I was brainstorming an idea near the end of having that bar as a user/account control bar. Or have it doing something with some use; beit in development for instant messages between online people, quick account controls, etc.

That bar down the right side is prime real estate for something.

For the side bar, I agree. One of the things I think it could do nicely is indicate what (passive) effects are currently active (which there aren't a lot of at the moment, primarily the Fighter spells, though I plan to add more) by displaying an icon for each, similar to the Tavern via telepathy icon, but starting at the top. Right now they're only shown in Profile, so they're kinda hidden. The reason it doesn't do that already is because I didn't have any icons to use.
