 |
|
To tell you the honest truth, I'm really not totally crazy about Cemetech v5. With that in mind, I've been messing around with some ideas, and I actually got a few that could make a radical difference in the site. Anyway, here's a random header I have drawn up; what does everyone think?

I like the logo, that is awesome. Search box looks great as well. Buttons... That isn't so great... :/ It just doesn't seem to match the logo.

too big - way too big. Its a header, not the site itself. It should be more or less out of the way - thats one of the things I don't like about V5. The buttons at the top are ridiculously huge - cmon man, we aren't blind here
This is doubly true if you are going to have the buttons under the logo again. Oh, and can we get some color going on? The red on white is a little blad and boring, and your new one is mostly just white. I paid good money for this 24-bit color screen, at least use more than 256 colors

I like that the buttons actually have the words on them, though. More n00b friendly.

I made them huge so you could see detail. Cool deal, second one it is; I felt the same way myself. That was a color scheme question, btw, not a graphics question. Underhanded, eh?

Is the "Interact" button supposed to be a cool word for forum? If it is, I like forum better.

I like the 3rd one, although none are really all that great. Why in the world is there a solid stripe at the top of the second one? If anything, a shadow would logically be at the bottom, but the stripe is just harsh looking, ruining the smooth flow of the gradient that covers the rest of the button

I say 3rd, if you go with 2nd make it somewhat symmetrical on top and bottom, the line at the top kinda looks... well... wierd...

Duly noted. Just trying to be original with button design there.

No, it's going to cover deveral things including the forum, hence Interact.

Yeah, but it's gonna have the Forum, Links, and probably About as well.
Edit: Submitted for your perusal and approval:

still too large of a header. That is going to take up a bit of real estate, not to mention is rather bland. Its a whole lot of white, whooopdedoo

Relax, it's a work in progress. Smaller, less white it is.
