View Full Version : Every sub forum should have its own varation of the Zoklet logo

Kinda like how Rockstar Games has its own logo. but each team of developers have their own variation. its only different colors but we could do something similar. Leave it up to the mods and users or a forum to decide.


Good/cool idea?

Well we used to sort of have this with the different banners for Flasks and Beakers and PEOO etc, only I think they were just random, and not forum-specific.

But yes, I think it's a good idea.

Yes, this idea was mentioned before and I already have banners for LOL, Internet and Trading Pit thanks to the banner contest.

OP, you have my full support.

We had the rotating banners before, but this idea of having a static banner for each forum is a really good idea, IMO. With the rotating banners, most of them were very poorly-done, but there were a couple there that were smoking nice. I think it was when the poor ones kept popping up that people got annoyed with them. Having a permanent banner for ever forum would give that particular forum more identity.. more familiarity... more unique personality.. and it would also lend the opportunity for the regulars of that given forum to "vote their logo-banner off the island" if it wasn't the very best one that could be there.

yes, exactly.

Yeah that is more like it.

This would be a cool addition to each forum, give some personality for each page.

Awesome Idea. it would be a lot of work, but i'm sure user submissions would be good.

Why does everyone suddenly think this is a great idea? When I mentioned it, I was told by 90% of you that it was stupid and it would take up soooooo much bandwidth, etc.

Anyway, I think it would be very cool if we could actually do it.

Lets make a banner contest for every sub-forum. Have the main page banner maybe rotate between the best generic zoklet banners.

I really like this idea.

Same.

Contests should be held at each forum-sub, and the winner's banner entry should be implemented.

Could even have a few banners rotating in their specific forum.

With this idea I think there needs to be some uniformity though, such as having them all the same size.

I agree, but I don't think Bat Country should get one because they've proven they can't handle simple responsibilities like post count and thanks.

Actually I think you'll find that there were a lot more Thanks parties in Generally Speaking than in HB.

Lol is good. The others need work. And whats with the obscession of Comic Sans? Comic Sans sucks, theres even a website petition to ban it... http://bancomicsans.com/home.html

I suggest you try some other fonts, theres some good free ones at www.dafont.com

I totally disagree with OPs suggestion.

IMFFHO, staff and management have plenty to do without running some contest which will simply engender more contentiousness.

That's entirely up to you. If you don't know much about design it may be best if you choose a more simple and standard font, one that won't look so tacky and outdated.

Theres a few good ones up there...

Can mods please get on this?

Lets get a thread in each section where we can submit our designs, and then someone will pick the ten best of each section and a new thread with voting will be created to determine the final design for each section.
