I think this one is the best one compositionally. Visually, the other elements don't distract from the progarchives logo, which is nicely centered. The faces on either side are the most prominent of the other elements, and they face towards the center, so they really draw the eye to the logo. The background has lots of nice details, but they feel like the background. The only thing that maybe could be changed in this one is using some of the iconic album art used in the one we hav now - I don't actually recognise too much of what's in this one. Plus, I can't be 100% certain until I see it in the website  And, once again, I don't think you'll take offense but I am a fan of your work so this feedback applies to the use of your collage as a banner, not to your collages themselves.

I don't like any of the options. The old logo really wasn't that great (I've never understood the font choice and color scheme), but all of those make it abrasive, jarring, and horrendously '90s. Just, make it all go away. ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

Don't like it. To me it looks too plastic, like a stickerbook filled with random images. I'd rather see a clear logo-banner that you can take in your grip and feel it. Now that I think of it, it's kinda like a DT cover: just things put together looking like a random photoshop. Just a bit too much. |

Seeing as how a lot of us are unpaid contributors I totally agree. But I think M@x isn't in it for the love of the money but for the love of the prog. Still you need something coming in to keep it up and running. Anyway, I hope darksideof isn't wounded too bad by the slings and arrows. I think what I like most about this one is that there isn't much artwork that is readily identified as being from any particular artist. But then, it's always possible I'm not familiar with artwork it was synthesized from. In the end, the banner doesn't matter as much as the site content and utility anyway. Is someone seriously going to run away because of the banner? If so, I'd suggest Abel work on something actually horrendous.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

From a designer point of view, I dont like it, it doesnt work well and is unprofesional. And no, the argument "art is subjetive" doesn't apply here because in graphic design (especialy web design) you have to take in mind a lot of aspects that doesnt have to do with your point of view. The header looks more like the typical "forum user signature", in fact, the other versions looks much better than the chosen one, but they still looks like a typical "forum user signature", or maybe they will look good as wallpapers. -------------

I agree to the above. Also I think the header should more blend into its surrounding. The blue colour of the current header does not really fit to the surrounding violet colour, IMHO. |
Posted By: Stooge
Date Posted: October 13 2010 at 17:07

Of the ones in the initial post, I like the 1st (the current header), 3rd and 4th ones the best for what my opinion is worth. The 6th and 7th ones work for me as well. As for the vote, the closest option for me is the 4th one. I like it, but I wouldn't be bothered by any tweaks if they are requested and implemented. I can't think what I'd change about it, maybe if the logo was centered??? I'd say "sharpen" the logo or something to that effect, but my graphic design jargon is rather rusty . I guess some of the character overlap of the logo is a concern, so maybe a more defined border around the lettering could hep (at least for where that Kansas guy stands).It's probably easier to leave it as it is than to try to decipher what I'm trying to suggest. I'm better off giving thumbs up or thumbs down with regards to these issues. In terms of better or worse with how the main page looks, I'll say better than from how I remember it. |

I don't like it, and it looks half-baked. Why? 1. Well, I don't mind the change, and the collage, but first and foremost it clashes with traditional PA colours: it's blue - moreover it's Royal Navy Bule - and the rest of the website's surface is purple. If it had been purple (and/or orange) I wouldn't object. 2. The characters from the various album covers look they're cut out in papers and glued to the surface, not doing justice to the effort the designer did with blending, transparent layers, and authors drawing (as seen in the right corner). 3. In my opinion, it should be more sublime and less fanboyish. 4. It should 'melt' with the background, perhaps with some nice gradient on the edges, so that is not visible the banner is square, more like a hazy nebula without defined edges. Or, it may have the rough edges but then it must with the rest of the site's appearance. 5. I can forgive everything (and get used to) but I can't stand a smudge of purple colour that remain in 'P' of 'ProgArchives'. There's more (as well as a few positive things) but enough of my criticism. ------------- |

Not as bright as THIS, but still bright :
These two are my favorite though :
Don't recognize the images on the first one, but i love the color scheme and both seem to flow right to the logo

I like more the original serious one, not because the collage is bad, but because we have already a personality (this looks more like a fan club art), and also looks too similar to the idea of the one used by Musica Progresiva.org  Which BTW is much more sober than ours. But most important, I will talk as a lawyer: All this drawings are protected by copyright laws, and even when some artists and bands are friendly, some are not. Even when the author of the "ITCOTCK" has died, the band already protected this art cover with a copyright sign I verified) and King Crimson's lawyers are not famous for authorizing the use of their property. If I'm not wrong, they already made Prog Archive delete all the samples of King Crimson music. We are risking ourselves to a legal process, and that will end the site as we know it, because even if we win, the costs will be so high that M@X could be able to close the site. So unless you have got the EXPRESS CONSENT of each and every artist and band, I would suggest to delete it. Iván -------------

That's true Dean: 1.- Fair use (Fair Dealing in Canada is a doctrine that according o CANADIAN laws protects in the case of Criticism and Review (I believe this could be the case of Prog Archives)::
I believe Prog Archives' location is in Canada, so I post this laws, and also because USA laws are much more restrictive. 2.- So we should cite the source of each and every fragment of the collage (the album in which it appears) and the name of the author. 3.- As far as I know and in USA, Fair Use or Fair Dealing (In UK system countries) is a defense,
Fair dealing is a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctrine - doctrine of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limitations_and_exceptions_to_copyright - limitations and exceptions to copyrigh t which is found in many of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_law - common law jurisdictions of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations - Commonwealth of Nation s.. Fair dealing is an enumerated set of possible defenses against an action for infringement of an http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exclusive_right - exclusive right of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright - copyright . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_dealing - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_dealing I know Wikipedia is not the most serious source, but living in Përú and rarely having to use Canadian laws here, my sources are limited In other words, somebody sues you and in the trial you can yse this as a defense, even when this defense won't stop a subpoena and probably a trial. Plus the judge may accept or not that some act is really a fair use. Not trying to frighten anybody, but as lawyer, I'm forced to take the worst scenarios. Iván -------------
