Mycroft is Yourcroft Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 All right folks, the long-awaited moment has arrived. I've been working on AVEN's design for weeks, and can now proudly present this, AVEN's new look: I tried to take on everyone's wants, and I think I got everything, so what do you think? Things to consider: Member reaction? How will this impact visibility? Do we have enough cake? How long before we implement this design? Link to post Share on other sites
Robin L Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Things to consider: Member reaction? How will this impact visibility? Do we have enough cake? How long before we implement this design? Awesome! More cake = more visibility You can never have too much cake. Besides, more cake tax. ASAP Link to post Share on other sites
littlepersonparadox Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 It could work but it's not my most favourable look. Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 *loves it* Member reaction? Negative. Pitchforks and torches. But that has never stopped us before. How will this impact visibility? Greatly. The brighter color will attract co-workers to an AVENite's computer when said AVENites are surfing the net during work. Do we have enough cake? Within one standard deviation of optimal (assuming a Gaussian, and that is a big if). How long before we implement this design? 3 April, which is when we come back from the next scheduled squirrel attack. Link to post Share on other sites
michaeld Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Do we have enough cake? There's not enough Mics if you ask me! (Can there ever be too many....?) Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Open Mic is still Mic with the sunglasses right? Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Girl Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'm in awe. I can't wait for the new look...can we have it three weeks ago already??? Mic looks fabulous. Link to post Share on other sites

Heart Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 The screenshot doesn't go far enough down to see gender, but I assume we still have that one with a unicorn icon, with Mic riding it? I sent the image AGES ago. Link to post Share on other sites
WünderBâhr Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 The screenshot doesn't go far enough down to see gender, but I assume we still have that one with a unicorn icon, with Mic riding it? I sent the image AGES ago. This may be late notice, but I feel like this would be a more accurate image for Site Comments: Would there be enough in the budget to procure the image for our design?

Sage Raven Domino Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The new design is definitely cool, but we've forgotten about ad revenue. We need to put forum pages on a background featuring our beloved sponsors: Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Croft left out one important detail This will help AVEN appeal to the mass internet culture. The green is an eye killer .. <_< Sorry for the bad news. The background .. Umm is that cake? It will be rather annoying to look at a screen filled with cakes .. :( I am just being honest. Well good luck with the design. Link to post Share on other sites
Sage Raven Domino Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 It will be rather annoying to look at a screen filled with cakes .. :( That's a valid request - a special forum skin should be made for diabetics, with the reverse deltaX triangle filling instead of cakes! :P Link to post Share on other sites

Sage Raven Domino Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 There are not so many members with over 3K lifetime posts on AVEN. You're in the all-time top 150 by post count. So yeah, you're quite visible. Actually, 'reverse deltaX' is too long for a term; so I'll coin 'nablaX' instead. Link to post Share on other sites
deltaX Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I've been here less than a year and the majority of my posts are just me yelling about things in the CAPS LOCK CLUB. I certainly don't feel like I deserve to be visible *hides back into obscurity* While I'm here though, I'd like to say that I refuse to support any AVEN design that does boy feature doge. As Robin has already said, it is essential to appeal to mass internet culture, and the best way to do that is through memes. I also fully support the drama lama sign for site comments. Would it be possible to do something similar with the Hot Box? Hot box can be a scary place sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
