| Jun 22, 2011 at 3:04 | comment | added | Dave | To give an example of what I mean: paper with a classroom feel will go well with our current "beta-style" logo, or maybe even with the inkan-style logo last made by @Derek... But with a different banner (say some typical Japanese-style illustration), a more subdued, uniform, background would probably be a better idea. Hence, rather than spend too much time deciding each part separately and end up with incompatible choices, I figured we could all focus on the logo and, once we have a consensus on that, picking the rest should be much easier... | |
| Jun 22, 2011 at 3:01 | comment | added | Dave | no worries. As I said they go together. I didn't mean to say we should only do a logo. Just that, in terms of picking a harmonious theme for the entire design, going with first the logo/banner is a good approach, imo. Logo design concentrates nearly all the issues that need to be sorted out for the general design (colours, theme etc)... | |
| Jun 22, 2011 at 1:27 | comment | added | Amanda S | @Dave I admit that I misread the question and thought we were talking about the general look of the site. That said, SE site design seems to be trending away from a single logo (a la StackOverflow) and toward a more unified look with a banner across the top (like Latex, Cooking, or English). I admit to being pretty partial to the latter design. | |
| Jun 22, 2011 at 0:46 | comment | added | Dave | I think it will be a lot easier to pick a background (either genko youshi or typical japanese off-white Japanese letter paper, as you suggested before), when we have picked a logo. Using the logo's style and colours as a guide to coordinate the rest is a good way to ensure we don't end up with a patchwork of "japan-like" themes that are nice taken individually, but a bit heavy put all side-by-side... What do you think? | |
