What do you think? And be honest, you won't hurt my feelings. (See image several posts below)

Good except for the green and for the lock. It looks like you're looking down at the top of a beer can. Orange is the color most often associated with storage units.

What's wrong with looking down at the top of a beer can?

Besides, an open beer can is probably the most appealing image to our demographic.  :D

I'll second that the green is bleh. I like the orange of the current image. The lock is interesting but does take a second glance to realize what it is. :)

So, I guess it's back to the drawing board. You two as well as my wife all dislike the green. I'm not crazy about orange but I'll see if I can squeeze it in there somewhere. ;)

Green...bleh! Change of font at last word.....maybe, but maybe not. Colors seem to be the main attractor or distractor for me.

Edit:


Why not offer a logo in several colors, or multiple logos in several colors...via a POLL.  Of couse there may only be 10 votes cast, but it's a thought.

No way, hate that color green. It only looks good on Smart cars and fishing worms.

Nevermind, that color doesn't even look good on them!

Getting better, guess I'm just use to the current banner.

Better although that orange is a little too pastelly for my tastes.

Tough crowd. I actually did try to closer to the orange color on the current banner but that was the closest I could find. Everything else was coming out red or purple.

Yeah, I understand. It was cool when the forum was just starting out as a hobby website. It had a real homemade feel to it.

I like it, but it could be about 25% smaller. It fits okay at full screen, but if the browser is an actual window then it squishes the message information over to the right too much.

Yeah, I noticed that. I'm going to see if I can move that somewhere else.

Can you bump up the forum's image upload size to something a little larger?
