Ha! Sorry, I thought I had gotten good at remembering to do that.

Please don't top-post. In Gmail, just move the cursor below the quoted 
text. Thanx. :)


Replacing the "o" isn't an option as it would throw off the look of the 
text. The text itself is as important as the COF. That said, I did think 
of replacing the dot on the "i" but it would be small for most uses. 
Just like the tagline in the second image.

I'm still gonna get some opinions from some other design folks. I just 
wanted to post so the folks doin' the site refresh knew my direction.

And for the new folks who don't know, I'm the original creator of 
Studio. Scott's in charge now. I'm just occationally guiding and 
tinkering with art. ;)

I like these.  How about having the CoF replace the 'o' in Studio?  That
might be kind of slick.  Where it's currently placed contrasts a bit weirdly
with the 'i'.  When I look at it, my mind wants to make the CoF the dot for
the 'i'.  Just some thoughts.

Maverick Art refresh. [logo]

[Cory K.]

I have been tinkering with ideas for Maverick's theme and logo. I 
figured I mention it now since it will have to tie in with a new site.


I'll post the theme once I have some issues worked out but for now 
here's my 1st run of logo ideas.


   * Simple layout: http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/8725/simplet.png
   * w/tagline and some possible detail:
 http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/9650/tagline.png


*NOTE* Both of these are early but are the general direction I'm going in.

Thanks for the roadmap Scott. That basically gives me/us a rough idea of
what sort of information is to be included on the website.
Did you get a chance to whip up any mock-up examples?

I've had a quick look at the examples proposed by Louie but am curious
as to what components of the examples he is interested in exactly as
none of them seem to be using Drupal based content-management-systems.
Is it the layouts, color schemes? I need more information.
And the last example seems to be using frames for its menu base. And for
any part I'll be involved with I most certainly don't want to go down
the path of frames. As, and for, a web-developer, frames are a bitch to
work with!

After a busy week(end) just gone, I'll be free up for a while now to
dedicate some time to the website revamp project.

Regards
