Plan for Chris Labombard

#1 it looks nice and fits with the style of Basic Bob

#2 The edges of the logo need to be cleaned up abit.... You should make the logo a little smaller on the site, remove the "Spunky Games" name from the box (make the box smaller and add banners to it)... and reduce the size of the font.

Also, if you go to www.garagegames.com/company/logo/ you will find a better GG button to use.

-Joseph

#3 Joseph - that IS the GG button I'm using... Only I altered it to give it a black border, as it bled way too much. I will fix it.

What kind of banners ? Why do you think the logo should be smaller ?

#4 Jospeh - Does that mini banner look better ?

EDIT: Joe - Could you provide me with a larger version of that logo ?

EDIT: Is that small enough ?

EDIT: Is that font size better ?

#5 it still doesn't like it's a done logo to me, but thats just me

#6 Make the logo a little bit bigger... I'll send you the logo later (resizing it is losing the quality)... and make the font smaller.

"What kind of banners ?"

Basic bob banners and maybe other developers game banners (you could get a developer banner exchange program going, which could be cool)

#7 Hey Chris, I love the site overhaul, it looks 1000% better. The only thing that I noticed is when I surfed to the Basic Bob part of your website, your old logo was still at the bottom of the page. I dont know if you wanted to change it, but I thought I would let you know about it!

#8 Ok... I made the font even smaller and the logo bigger.

Yes, the banner idea is good... Only I suck at making things like that. Any suggestions on how to go about it ? Or a good example I can look at ?

Anthony - It will get changed when I overhaul the BB site... Do you think it needs an overhaul as well ?

#9 Chris: Much improved! A problem I see is I can't see the scroll slider in the news box. Sure, I can click on the arrows, but it's less ergonomic.

If you took it out on purpose, I encourage you to reconsider and put it back.

Otherwise, looking good :)

#10 Sam - yes it was removed on purpose. I will put it back to normal tonight.

#11 Now THAT looks a lot better. Nice!

#12 The new site looks much better; very nice!

#13 Your forums really should be inside the iframe.

#14 New site looks very good. Much better than before. I second Chris W about the forums being in the frame - it's annoying that it pops up another window for that. Makes you feel like you're going elsewhere. The only other slight annoyance about the site is the "tangents" or "pinching" created by some of the inner boxes being butted up against the edges of the main box. I'd like to see it with a 10 px or so border.

#15 Jeff - I have no idea what you mean by pinching and tangents. Could you please take a ss and highlight exactly what you mean.

The issue is that the iframe is small compared to the size of the forums. I don't think I could stick the forums in the frame without some major usability issues. I really dont have the time for it right now. Once Bob is launched I will fix it.

#16 @Chris: Much better with the scroll slider, although I have to say it was better when the arrows were white. If you can make the slider white with a 3D-ish gray (but thin) border, and keep the arrows white, that would look really good :)

#17 i luv the new site Chris, looks pretty slick :D

#18 Sam - is that better ? I couldnt get the arrows to stay completely white. But I thought this looked pretty good.

Evi - Thank you.

Can anyone explain what Jeff meant by tangents and pinching ?

#19 Wow... I didn't want to say anything about the first version because you had enough criticism, but this one is great. Nicely done.

#20 @Chris: Wow, great work! Looks much better!
