Thanks to all but....

[george_proost]

I wish to thank everyone that has helped me out over the last few months.

I have managed to set up the site, hack it to death.
Forced off a shared server to a dedicated. Set up a banner
server ........... and the list goes on

Without all your help, I would never have come this far.

I want to go into production on Monday but alas, as you can see my logo is cr*p. I need some help in this area.

I do not have the software to accomplish this task myself.

Is there anybody out there who can suggest a design. I am thinking of

MainFrameForum punched from the back in a metalic-type theme,
the background color is #999999.

Please VBer's have a look at the site. It is a specialised dite but there is
and area for GUESTPOSTINGS. I also need to check some performance issues out.


If someone can help I will give them credit with a
logo by : xxxxxxxxxxxxx in the copyright setcion.

One comment I have before you go live... ditch the "Sponsor sample" menu for something which renders (or whatever the word is) a little bit efficiently. I'm on a Geforce 2 GTS and I get page lag when scrolling, seems to be mainly over that menu area - somethign that would anoy me a lot if I frequented your site :)

Please take it as positive feedback, not a slagging for your hard work. :)

I could have ago at making you a logo, but I know there are some guys on these forums who are seriously talented when unleashed with Photoshop/3dsm . If you get stuck...

[george_proost]

thanks for the feedback ... I need to make the menu graphics file smaller in weight (or use another driver)


... thx again I'll look into it

[s.molinari]

Should it be an animated logo or a static one?

Do you know of some other site that has a logo similiar to the one you want? (not to steal it but just to get an idea of what you would like);)

Here is my humble attempt.

I couldn't match your background color. But if you want to use this color as a backgound it is #B4B4B4.


Here it is. Don't laugh too hard.

Scott

[s.molinari]

Just a suggestion but how about dropping the .com?

You could make the letters bigger that way and the logo will standout better.

Just 2 more questions before I do this with the 3 caps:

With or without .com?

A logo almost always has a pitch in it. vBulletin - Instant Communty for example. In Europe it is common. Wouldn't you also like a pitch? Like: Mainframeforum.com - a site for power Admins or something along that line.

It's just a suggestion.

Dear Scott,

The .com need not be there. Static is just fine.

But a a pitch; have not really thought about it
but here is an idea :
...

MainFrameForum (with purple border)

then impressed one at a time underneath under logo
in smaller letters without purple border.

resourceful - dynamic - current

i would only want it to be done once over a period of about
3-4 seconds.

...

Scott, the static would be fine, but the pitch, well sounds too good.

:)

thanks a million

[george_proost]

or

MainFrameForum
dynamic - resourceful - current


the length of the words center out better
static is just fine too ... whatever ... youhave been a great help so far

[s.molinari]

OK here it is.



I didn't put dashes in because I didn't know how I should fit them into the animation. With the word or not so I left them out. It should also look better on your darker background.


If you would rather have it static with dashes let me know.


Scott

[george_proost]

to which url do you want me to point the credit

[george_proost]

?

You are a master

[s.molinari]

Try right mouse click. Somewhere there should be save picture as or something to that effect. I use a german version of window and I would guess your using a dutch version. :)

Can you send me a quick email to s.molinar@adduco.de, then I
I'll send you the info for the acknowledgement. We may also have to fine tune the gif to get it to look right on your sight.
