New site design

[TechnoHippyChic]

Not bad!

 

[-smash-]

That's great, actually. Follows the simplistic layout.

When i clicked on the link in my bookmarks toolbar I thought I had the wrong website! I really didn't recognise it at all! I preferred it as it was.

 

[Dodo]

What about no Halflife2 .net in the banner itself ?

-dodo

 

[Vegeta897]

That is fantastic, SimonomiS. Only suggestions I'd have are tone-deaf the colors a bit to fit the grey/blue scheme of everything, and the font of 'Half-life2.net' is a little odd. And get rid of the dash, I think

Dodo, that's some nice work, but too much color imo, and the side-logo is neat but maybe a little too unorthadox.

 

[Ennui]

both of those are great... although dodo i would like yours better if it said HL2net more prominently

 

[SimonomiS]

I... I don't know what this means. Unless you mistyped down?

The lack of a dash has always bugged me, I know it's not in the URL but it's in the game damnit!

Dodo's is pretty awesome.

 

[Qonfused]

I like them both; I don't like the font of SimonimiS' and I wish Halflife2.net was some where included in the banner of Dodo's. The font thing is no big deal.

 

[Xendance]

I'd like Dodo's if Halflife2.net was actually on the banner.

 

[Pulse]

Dodo ftw.

 

[Cavalry]

I like Dodo's but dont see where HL2.net would fit on the top.

-dodo

Wow I like this.

This is awesome

 

[Mutley]

Love Dodos! Although the Spy should probably come down to the Heavies gun, something doesn't look right there.

 

[undertone]

:monkee:

 

[Qonfused]

Well, I can definitely say that I'd rather have any banner so far submitted better than the current.

 

[Vegeta897]

Haha, it was just my stupid way of saying tone them down, yeah. They're too vibrant for the rest of the design, imo.

 

[Munro]

They're too vibrant for the rest of the design, imo.

Hell, design a new layout then

I've got to say these banners are bloody good. I think we'll keep the submissions going for another day and see what pops up. I'll be happy putting one of those on the site.

 

[Vidrio]

Dodos, just stick 'halflife2.net' on it, jobs a good'n

*edit - didnt see 'halflife2.net' on the side! Looks leet.

isn't there a code for a new image every time the page is loaded? i know i've seen it before. that might be fun.

 

[Vegeta897]

Oh no no, I've always liked the calm color scheme HL2.net has. Be it the blue/gray, or the tan.

The colors of the current banner are actually not bad.

 

[sinkoman]

That'd be fecking awesome if every time the front page is loaded, one of the banners submitted is loaded randomly.

They all look damned good, and it'd be neat if every time you load the page, there's a diff banner.

can you make the deadline saturday, Ive got tests this whole week.

 

[TwwIX]

I understand if you want to change the design of the site to support Valves others games.I just don't like the current look of it.The banner especially.

 

[Ennui]

dodo if you put a strong, simple font saying halflife2.net in the bottom middle third of your banner it will be awesome.

 

[knut]

dodo's is my favorite so far (all very good, natch) but I think perhaps Freeman would be better suited in the middle, with the G-Man over his shoulder in the background. Thats just me, mind, but being the central most known figure in the Valve collection of games I think his replacement swap of the Allied DoD soldier would make it seem more fitting.

But thats me, and regardless, it looks great all the same.

 

[Lokizen]

How about with dodo's banner putting the Halflife2.net in a shadow font, where the type itself is invisible with a light colored shadow? Wish I could demonstrate visibly, does this make sense?

 

[Kula Meenur]

What about no Halflife2 .net in the banner itself ?

-dodo

love the artistry, looks fantastic.

but a name must be had... for various reasons



:upstare: EDIT: Concur with lokizen
