New logo = too big. Also I don't know what the eagle is supposed to be sitting on. Or why it's there in the first place.

Just providing feedback.

Yeah, I'm not going to go higher than 120px unless someone wants to try something fancy that brings the rows of buttons up more and combines it all somehow.

Yeah, the colours are off.
I also preferred the die. Just sayin'.
EDIT:
Basically I like this best. Maybe add (a) row(s) to the buttons? And merge the whole thing into a consistent style.

EDIT2: Oh, and add the clothes.

Okay conceptually, how about the larger header in the center with the buttons going around the edge like so:

Replace the white line with buttons.

All of the eagle ones are, actually, pretty good. Excellent work gentlemen!

Here you go. 120px height, correct size fonts, no "RPG Codex" around the die. It's probably impossible to make it any smaller without making the eagle look like a blob.

Use this one and stop the madness.

The eagle looks too american/dovelike. With a tophat even, it just screams "teh Fallout irony the bethsoft way". We need a honest to death germanic Iron Eagle, with a d20 for swastika.

The slogan is great. I loved how larpers cringed on the first page, "waaah, don't you dare taking away our 'Role'" :roll: So much for the "but it says so on the banner right here" argument :smug:

No, I have become quite used to the decline.

Anyway, the color of the logo doesn't fit the template, it needs to be bluer or whiter. And on that note, DU should update phpBB and then we could choose from one of the prestigious-looking templates available, to go with the style of the logo. The floppy disk doesn't match with the bird either. Nor with RPGs.

isn't that a commercial font family ?
Yes. So what?
just a warning to ppl who might feel inclined to look for downloads ?
OK. Thought it'd be obvious, though.

Anyway, it's one of the fonts used in Arcanum, so it fits just great, I think.
