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.

Sorry but I think the new logo looks non-professional. It makes PA look like a one-man-with-hobby site.

It looks like a toddler threw up their baby food on the front page. Sorry, but I just can't stand it. Dead

Not to say it wasn't designed very well and professionally (which it was). I just think it's ugly.

*Haters gonna hate*

PA is a business. It has to be or it would shut down, this argument is ridiculous.

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? LOL

If so, I'd suggest Abel work on something actually horrendous. Tongue

The site has to took professional though, and of course M@X makes money from it.

Anyway, he seems to like the banner, otherwise he wouldn't have changed it. He is now asking for how to improve it. (not in this thread, in the one he started.)
