As you can see, PFF's logo has changed. This is now the official PFF-logo.

I've also been playing around with the colors of the forums a bit. I know I'm messing up some people's signature graphics with this so I need your input: Keep or loose the new colors?

Cliff, The colors look good. Maybe lighten up the blues a shade. The darker of the blues seems a tad too dark but it looks good.

Cliff,

As much as I hate to agree with fiero56, I do. I liked seeing your car at the top of all the pages. The blue is fine with me. If you will recall, I really like the darker color backgrounds (from the new-years PFF theme).

Thanks for everything,

William T. Thorn, III

Cliff, I like the new look, but liked the old logo with your Fiero on it.

The dark and light blue text areas are cool, but the old white and grey doesn't stand out as much. I check the board often at work, and don't want to draw the attention to my screen. For special occasions having colors is cool.

I'm beginning to think f56 and wt3 were separated at birth!

Looks good to me, Cliff. In fact, I'm really happy with the occasional changes. The same thing day in and day out gets boring real fast.

Well, the new logo will definitely stay this way. I'll explain later why the logo has changed. I do agree I miss seeing my fiero too but perhaps I can squeeze the official Pontiac Fiero Logo or a picture of a Fiero on the page somewhere.

Now the new colors are discussable. I know it probably looks weird, but that's because you are so used to the old colors. I suggest I'll keep the new colors for a few days, then switch back to the old colors and then we can vote for new or old.

I liked the lighter colors. With the blue background, people walking by my cubicle here at work can immediately tell I'm reading about Fieros instead of doing my job.

No opinion on the logo...the new design looks cleaner, but with the old design, I got to look at Cliff's cool GT.

Cliff, I like the changes. However, it does seem to take a bit longer to load... at least on my slow 28.8 modem, at work.

bHooper, I think the longer loading is coincidence since the colors don't make any difference en the new logo is smaller in (file-)size than the new one.

About the colors: I have another idea. What i can do is give each section its own color. For instance, The TD&Q section will have the new blue colors, the GFC section the old colors and the TO/T section could be a third alternative. We keep the new colors for a week or so and then vote which colors to keep. It will make the forum a bit (too) colorful for a week, but that way we can all decide which color-scheme is the best. I liked the old colors too, but after looking at them for almost 2 years, I got a bit bored with them.

Cliff,

The use of color shows your close proximity to France... boy they love all the colors. I like the colors too.

ECO5,

That would be officially the longest birth in history. I had better get Guiness on tap... not the beer, the record people. I am not getting drunk at the new job, I am not getting drunk at the new job... repeat as needed.

I like the use of colors, but at this point I'd have to agree that the darker shades are too dark. It makes it more difficult to read the text, IMHO.

The Blues would be fine if there is a way to lighten them up. They are fairly bright on my screen. Otherwise it is cool to have a bit of a change!

Seems slower today with the new color, maybe just a fluke.

Change is good, but dollars are better!

I liked the burgandy/grey Fiero logo better, because it looks like my GT. The new logo looks like an official business logo.

The blue looks OK, but it IS hard on... hmmm... higher mileage eyes... after reading a couple of pages.

It does kinda stand out at work too.

The lighter blue idea might be a good one.

Or maybe leave the menus in brighter colors and leave the actual text of the messages white (or at least a pale color)???

I definitely like the new look. Everyone else has a point about the shade of the blues, though. If you could lighten them up slightly, you'd have it just about perfect (until the next change ). It looks good with something other then white. (Kinda boring IMHO.) I'm still trying to figure out where you came up with the new logo. Tell us the story.

How about using the light blue and white? That will give change, and since the light blue looks kind of like the gray, it will still be discreet.

As for the longer loading time, it's probably due to having new imaged to download instead of being cached.

The blue also goes with my sig pic.

I don't mind the new logo. Logo's change. Its just business.

I agree the dark blue has to go. I can hardly read those boxes. To little contrast. The light blue isn't bad. lighter yet would be better.

I'm another one that reads/poasts from work. I can usually size the browser to hide the logo but the bright colors will draw attention. I'm not sure how much but more than the old ones.

Is it a wing?

It kind of looks like a gauge needle sweeping(like it's leaving a trail) combined with the bars of a digital gauge.

If that's not it, I've got a million of 'em.

To answer someone's question above...

There's no way for you to locally assign differant colors or fonts to idiviual pages. At least not in IE up thru 5.5. You can either turn off background color or apply you own style sheet. The effect of either is global to all viewed sites. In IE 5.5 this is done under the Accessability button at the bottom of the General tab in "Internet Options" (in Tools menu or control panel.)

Doing it in user prefernces in the forum software is posible but would require major recode of the software and another increase to the size of the user database.

Was there any other reason for ditching your GT other than size of file or being bored?
