--- Quote from: shenske on June 27, 2013, 12:03:01 PM ---I was wondering about the logo too. As much as i like Larry's logo (its really fun) i like the clean look of just the words "The Cover Project"
1. I understand that we want to separate ourselves from the Snackbar Games branding but should our logo somehow pay homage to it? I was thinking of a glass milk bottle instead of a milk carton. Yes it has nothing to do with games but it still separates ourselves from Snackbar while still giving them a gentleman's nod.
2. If we are going to separate ourselves from Snackbar shouldn't we change our colors? Granted i like our colors but its the same as Console Covers (we had the color scheme first though, haha). VGBox art: Red, ConsoleCovers: Orange, CD Covers CC: Orange, CGalaxy: Orange/Yellow. Perhaps we should further distance ourselves from them with blue or something?
3. Can we increase the width between the covers on the new front page? They kind of get jumbled together. I also happened to like the game name next to the cover image. Maybe when you pan across the cover it gets darker or black and has the game title across it?
4. I can do a quick visual mockup of what i was thinking fro the site if you would like. I've thought about it for about 4-5 years now

It's funny because when we launched Snackbar Games in 2002 nobody used orange online. It's a harsh color. Now, tons of people use it even if SBG did move away from it with our latest design. As for the covers on the front page, yes we can increase the spacing and the idea would be to have the cover details show up when you moused over it. The link would go to the page for that game with that cover in detail mode.

And one thing with the systems on the side, can they be grouped by manurfacturer?
It annoys me seeing Gamecube and SNES not clumped up with the restm Same with SEGA.
I think a font change and removal of the underlines would look better.

Keep in mind that the sidebars haven't been styled at all. That said, I'm eager to see what you would do with the front page.
palmer6strings:
Even if the logo was as simple as the initials "TCP" being all fancy, that would be cool.
And for colors, I really think a dark purple would look really nice, even just as accents.

My vision is something like this ...
Not really monumentally different. A different paint job and no longer 'ugly as sin'
Snowcone:
I like that shenske. It pulls in the basic elements that I put together but has a different flair. Not a fan of the bg for the sidebars, but that's not terribly difficult to change. Do you have that in a format I can work from?
