Can I suggest writing "POLYCOUNT" in text, about 1em (16px) and using the green smiley next to it? Also ditching the tag line of "videogame art resource & community"?

My other preference would be just to have the green smiley about 32px tall in the top left corner and be done with it.

a lot of us browse at work, having polycount HUGE in some unrelated font (to the normal polycount logo) is basically an advertisement to everyone that we are browsing the web.

You could always just block the image.

you ARE browsing the web. maybe you shouldn't be. the smiley is dumb. stop it.

k bye

Mm, the slogan stays. Whether its apart of the header graphic or not is debatable.

As for the graphic - I'm really eager to see your take at (hawken*) it and would love for you to actually mock something up.

sorry I use the encryption offered by Adium

Not sure where to turn it off!

what the hell happened here? polycounts gone all windows XP

you might as well email me Adam ;)

I like it, 'tis cool. My only crit would be that it's a little big and overpowers the page?

Maybe if it were 60% of that size it might work better - just my opinion!

I agree that it might be a bit dominant at the moment (though that's probably a matter of taste). The fresher colour is nice for sure. Anyways, here's a cheap mockup for a lighter header.. it's got the old logo without the filler stuff, plus greentooth. Just my 2 cents.. Click

I like peppi's mockup, "polycount" should just be 50% bigger imo

Peppi's got the idea. Let's keep it clean and minimal!
All this bubbly shiny button stuff is just bleh.

I do rather like Peppis design.

i like peppis use of the old font, i dont see why we should change that

Agreed.*

*but that was too short apparently. . .

agreed with rooster. I love the old font.

Yeah, peppi's is cool... nice and minimal and retro, although I agree with Per, it should be 50% bigger.

I could definately get behind Peppi's mockup. No offense to all the hard work Adam put into this, mind you. Just a matter of preference.

Again per is wrong, percent is "out of 100", 50 out of 100 is 0.5 so 50% bigger is actually smaller. I think the logo should be 150% bigger.

i dunno man, he's saying he wants it bigger, ok by how much? by 50% of the original. it works for me.. he could *either say it should be 50% bigger, or 150% of the size it is
edit: wait wait, wtf am i defending per? frankies right

no thats like saying I want it half bigger

i dunno man if you increase something by 100% arent you doubling it? you're not keeping it the same

Just make it twice as big damnit! Now shut it!

no 100% is like saying make it 1 times as big.

also you donno now because I just told you and explained it and even did some maths.

no you're saing increase by x ammount of the original, in this case the full value

I feel like we're keeping alive the age old polycount tradition of arguing semantics irellivant to the actual point of the thread. good times!
