New HOP Logo

i like Mr Chutneys suggestion, perhaps even the Logo encircling the name? it does seem somewhat insignificant compared to the words.

also the white orange white text is growing on me

oh i see it now, i like it

Malcolm - you moving over to VB then? Or good ol' PhpBB? ...or something else entirely?


IMO, the black bar at the top is too dark. I would have picked a lighter shade of black

Dont like change!

:)Very Chic ......

Personally, I'm not keen on serif fonts on a screen, also the new colour scheme seems a bit off to me - maybe have it reflecting the colour of the green/red flames?

However, it's hard to comment until you see the full picture - when you take something out of context it's harder to understand it.

But agree with Chutters - logo encircling title for teh win!


good luck with the the changeover!

Yes you'll have to wait a we while before we have something ready for a bunch of you to do some beta testing.
Being so badly colour blind I am doing my best to keep things easy to read.
For those that do not know already we are using Drupal for everything bar the shop. With lots of special programmes here and there to make this work.

thanks malcolm, i think we really appreciated how much work and love you've already put into this community, and you amaze us with how you continue so..

Regardless of what I said about logo preference, what Pete says above is absolutely spot on

^^^ triple that



and with the black header it looks a lot better to me

I wondered when the Malcolm hug train was going to come rolling through.

tchu tchuuuuuuu

errm buton a sidenote, my HoP is not stopping to load (according to the FF tab on the top).... [ed - now it stopped... just took a long time]

Our new what now???

Bloody hell! I leave civilisation for a couple of months...

what he said

I agree, letters in the logo would look good

Well, to be honest, it'll always be HOP to me, so I could care less.

I think it's pretty, though. Whoever designed it gets...erm...what are the kids saying these days... "hella propz"?

I agree with Mike, it will always be HoP to me. As long as the URL doesn't change, I say go for it!

The logo/name text as I see it all looks a bit pixelated and blurry. Other than that it's a wee bit dull but ok. It doesn't scream out at me "Poi", but it doesn't repulse me either... it's just kind of nondescript. I'm also not a fan of the mustard green colour on the sneak preview you showed us. As a background it's a bit hard on the eye and as a font colour it's just going to be hard to read.

I applaud your tireless work to keep the site up to date and modern and thank you for keeping this community running. I'm sure whatever you finally decide on we will get used to it.

I sort of like it , but I think the earlier sidebar image with the stick figure doing poi on a black backround might look good to.

I kinda miss the oldschool little poi man... but this new logo style is pretty snazzy.
