New Logo
I had some time today to do some work on the forums, and started going through the posts here, e-mails that I have received, and ICQ messages to get everythign accomplished.
One thing that really didn't seem popular was the side menu because it didn't work well on a lot of monitors/resolutions... So, it's gone.
But now, I have to move the menu up top. And since I'm really not a creative one, I wanted to open this up to the forum members. I remember a while back when JP asked for designs, though I'm not really sure what happened with it because I don't believe any of the member designed designs were used.
I'm looking for a couple of things from all the great members here:
1) Post some color combinations (either in a design or just mention of them) for the forums... If you like the colors, let me know. If you want to see something new, let me know. If you don't like the colors, let me know. Did I say 'let me know?'?
2) If you have a couple of extra minutes and you like making designs, put something together for TWF. Complete designs are fine, or simple logo/button designs are fine. We can put stuff together without any problem. All designs will definitly be appreciated.
I'm going to finish up with the text menu above, but we basically just need a complete new design for the top.
So, let your minds run wild for TWF!

I really liked the old logo - couldn't we just keep the old logo part and then make a coordinating menu to go below it?

I liked the old logo too. As for color suggestions I think these colors are fine and easy going on the eyes.

I like the colors as well. I don't think they need to be changed. As far as the logo is concerned, I liked the old one, but a new one wouldn't hurt...

OK, we're back to the way it was, since everyone seems to like it...
I know right now it does look a little bland... That's because we need to get a menu put up top, and I am thinking of replacing the text links on each post with some buttons...
I hope to get this stuff done tomorrow...

Yeah, you definitely need to get up the menu icons! I've had a handful of people in the past few days ask me about that. I also think it would look better if the post icons (like website, email, etc...) were put back in place.

OK, because it's going to take me a day or two to get a menu up top, I have added two important links, as requested.
Some of you have said that the forums are "boring" now so I added some buttons in place of the text menu for each member ... What do you think? I want the site to perform well on a slower 56k connection so I want to avoid a huge number of graphics ...

The buttons look fine for me. I'm on 56K right now and it loaded right up no wait at all.

Who cares if it looks boring? This is a forum, not a design company showing off a creative design. I would rather have a bland, fast loading page than anything else. We are here to learn/help/socialize not be amazed by a stunning design.
Of course, that's only my opinion

I like the old one but there is something to be said for speed.

I agree with Rob, the focus of this site should be the content, not the design. After all, we people comming here to discuse topics on our forums, not cruiz around looking at all the pretty colors.
I like the buttons too. Great work so far on the re-design.

I personally like the getting rid of the vertical bar and am excited about what changes are in store.
