This is old and tired, we want a new one.

[Dny]

isn't that a commercial font family ?

Yes. So what?

just a warning to ppl who might feel inclined to look for downloads ?

You reminded me of this perfect rant that never gets old :

Fuck the foundries!

Seriously. Fuck them. They still think they’re in the business of shuffling little bits of metal around. You want to use a super-cool ultra-awesome totally-not-one-of-the-11-web-safe-fonts? Pick an open source font and get on with your life.

Ok, I've changed the hue to match that of the forum theme and changed the font to be similar to the new logo. Also I've put an ignore list button since right now the ingnore list link messes up the layout.

comparison with forum :

Make your gradients smooth FFS.

 

[ghostdog]

I haven't added any gradients, this is essentially the same layout as the original buttons.

 

[Droog White Smile]

So you just upscaled the original buttons? No wonder the gradients look like ass.

Anyway, what I mean is that you can see "steps" in the color, the transition isn't smooth.

I preferred the floppy logo to be honest. Though this one also has its charm.

 

[Droog White Smile]

Please no floppy. It has nothing to do with RPGs.

 

[Vibalist]

Remove that ridiculous eagle + the disc and just leave the text and you have a good header.

Yeah I know what you mean:

 

[Droog White Smile]

Much better now. I vote for this button set.

 

[spectre]

Slogan is Ok.
Previous header with just the diskette had much better font, and was overall better.
This one seems like trying to hard.

I think RPGCodex looks better without a break in the middle.

Though, if you insist on having the NSKK crow, I would suggest the following:

Scale the wings vertically to make them thinner, It will be better if they touched the RPGcodex sign slightly, and it might be better whne the sign is a bit lower, so that the upper edge of the wings is on the same level as the top of the sign.
Speaking of which, and the sign needs a darker tone as well, maybe some shading.

Turn the diskette 45 degrees and it should be a nice start.

The eagle logo has some of the ugliest layout I've ever seen in a logo for a website. Return to the floppy and blinking text logo immediately.

 

[sah]

The floppy in its current form doesn't fit well with the rest.

 

[Droog White Smile]

White text/eagle + blue (#48505f) background.

 

[Andyman Messiah]

I have to ask, why the break between RPG and Codex?

 

[Grunker]

Better now. And it is very good now.

The whole page could use some of that "prestigious magazine"-layout.

 

[Droog White Smile]

I have to ask, why the break between RPG and Codex?

Military insignias are supposed to be centered?

 

[ghostdog]

It's basically because of the eagle, he needs to be in the middle. It wouldn't look good with him on one side.

Also, I love the tuxedo and tie but replace the floppy with the dice.

 

[Andyman Messiah]

I'm more of a text person, I guess. Is there any way both "RPG CODEX" and eagle can be centered? Because how it looks now is just really fucking ugly.

 

[Shannow]

White text/eagle + blue (#48505f) background.

At last, the colours are good. Now put some clothes on him, in case we're mistaken for an aetóphil site.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

There's sort of too much space in the logo. I'm not sure how to do that but can you sort of scrunch up RPG and CODEX each so they are stuck under the eagle's wings?

 

[Satori (original)]

Please, please, please at least give the dithered and pixellated buttons a go.

 

[Droog White Smile]

My banner + Ghostdog's buttons.

 

[ghostdog]

Dis is guuud.

But also put the tuxedo and tie on him.

 

[Nostradumbass]

dice? who are we kidding? codex is nextgen now, might as well put a blu ray with he eagle.
