Nah it's not all that bad..it's kinda cool. And the colour looks dodgy because...it's meant for the Element blue skin.

perhaps the logo shud be placed in the centre ( middle at the top of the page)...it will look neater...???..

if not then it looks out of place..plus the colour does not combine with blue...it shud be brighter, darker or lighter blue as the background of the logo instead of green and da the touch of white.

then on other hand its all blue...perhaps another colour that will stand out the logo and be matched with the colour???

The colors of this logo go perfectly with the 'Aria' theme, and since I'm using it, I really like it...it looks much more professional.

But to be honest, it does feel like it's missing something. Firstly, the hand feels a bit out of place...u know...too cliche. But it needs something, like a pic of something or...something, or maybe a something something, lol!

I'd like to see what Andrew can come up with, so I say go for it and post it in this thread!

Lol! That pic reminds me of something I saw in a masjid once. I went to pray the asr at this one masjid here in Egypt, and it was full of kids (and I mean full) coming in to learn Qur'an or something....anyways, I just finished praying and a couple minutes later they made another gam3a behind me and started praying, and this one man had his 3 year old kid with him. You know how if a kid is playing with u while you're praying u should just let them play like the prophet did (pbuh)...well this kid was going all out! He was holding his father by the throat from behind, and when the man made sujoud the kid went flying up and his legs were all dangling up the air, lol! I was literally cracking up...seriously I was trying to hold my laughter in as best I could cuz it was in a mosque and all, but tears were starting to form up in my eyes and I could help laughing out loud! So all the people started noticing and when they saw the kid and his dad they started laughing too. The whole mosque was in an uproar before long, hahaha!

Oh man, I really wish I had a pic of that...now THAT woulda made a good logo!

I have been in discussion with -S- and I'll be posting up my effort in the next half an hour for you to all see.

I originally decided to make it prodominantly blue but after discussion of all the themes (which I can't see as I'm a limited member) I have tried to come up with something that will look good on a variety of themes (though its obviously hard to pick something that will look good on every theme).

Thanks for the uploads of the themes, though I didnt get chance to check them out before finishing my design! I admit the green logo looks quite good on the green theme. Not sure if mine would look best on that, however the mode should be able to use different logos for different themes.

Anyways, here is my effort.

I hope mine can be used and that people like it. I've spent a few hours on it tonight.



Please let me know what you think.

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for taking the time to design a new logo!

It looks very nice as others have said. My main suggestion would be to replace the crescent and star with another image, like a minaret, because it's not actually a symbol of Islam - more info here: http://www.islamicboard.com/refutati...bol-islam.html

Peace :).

Andrew
07-25-2007, 10:40 PM
Ok, that could be done if other people would prefer that?

I might not get much time this week though to make any changes if they are needed as I spent a fair few hours doing this tonight and I have to do some other work which I postponed in doing for this.

In the meantime, here is just a quick mockup of what the existing one would look like when intergrated into the theme :

I agree too, leave the current green one with the green theme and use this on the rest. Or if I have time, I could make a green version of the current one perhaps if it's what people would like.

We could also do with a poll setting up maybe, to see if the majority of people want me to change the crescent and moon or not as it will involve a few hours more work from me and I don't want to do it if it's going to be time wasted.

Most web developers i know don't get involved with graphics they just develop and code web apps, usually the graphics parts get left to the web designers. Where do you work at mate?

I think your logo looks good too, a bit too much bevel on the lettering though. Where did you get the idea of making it in rounded rectangular box with text two different colours and faded background image through? :D

Andrew
07-26-2007, 02:24 PM
Ha ha thats cool, I was only kidding around. If you got the idea of me then it shows that mine is doing something right.

Maybe you could reduce the bevel on the lettering and take the shadow off of yours and make it more green and white colours and it could be used on the green template? I think that is the template mine is not going to be used on.

Also, I personally find web / graphic design a lot more fun then web development so you have made the right choice by studying that at uni. And the longer you do your course and the more you play around in photoshop the better you will become with time. If you ever need a hand and I may be able to help just send me a PM mate.

Yeah I agree Web designing is more fun, but if you do web development you could get payed more money, but you have to be a pro, and you need few qualifications in other subjects. I get 2000 pounds weekly for my job, there's a lot of money in web development. I'm not just doing this for money but because it's a hobby for me. I'm studying web graphic designing because i want to be even better, i want to make even better sites all by myself, without the help of a graphic designer.

This is very true, and with you improving your weakness and bringing your design skills up to par with your development work it can only bode well for you in the future. And like you say, it is a lot better to keep everything under the one hat and develop a site on your own rather than having to rely on other people for certain parts (and thats not even considering the financial benefits it will bring).

I always knew development paid better than design but I didn't realise by that much. You must be a good coder to be on £48k a year mate.

So are you going to give it a go making your version a bit more green?

Well i did very good in my GCSE's, i got 7 A* and one A, to be good in Web Development you should be good in other areas like Mathematics and Science etc. it's not that you should only be good in IT, and I mainly started learning about it in University, i did several courses on it, around 5-6. You have to learn all the coding, the new languages such as PHP, Ajax, CSS, XHTML, XML, Perl, Python etc. and some of these are very hard.

I always knew development paid better than design but I didn't realise by that much. You must be a good coder to be on £48k a year mate.

So are you going to give it a go making your version a bit more green?
Some web developers do get paid little but it all depends on your knowledge of web developing and qualifications, nowadays it all about qualifications, it's not easy to get a job without any qualifications. If you are a very good coder you can get paid even more than £2000.

Bro Andrew are you a professional Web/Graphic Designer?

Where abouts do you work?

I used to be when I worked for a smaller IT firm last year that went bankrupt, but I now do it freelance in my own time.

I now work for a very large 'household name' IT company that specialise in International Business Machines doing something unrelated to web stuff but it pays better.

It looks better
brother remember sometimes alot of things in a small place doesn't look descent now in the logo there is a word islamic which means alot, so i think that adding bismillah is a kind of unnecessary
look keep the dome up and place "Islamicboard" under it
and then make the "I" a kind of minaret and keep the test simple

i like moabubaker's *the first version*, but i like andrew's better and think it looks "classier".
the "i" for islamic is a little too subtle, so what i see right away is "slamic".
i asked this before, but i still want to know if the logo was changed become some object to pictures of living beings? i liked the old one best. (but, some people just are like that - especially old people.) ;D
and also, while i know the star and crescent isn't a true symbol of islam, is it objectionable in some way?

I like this the best so far, but yeh it would look nicer with minarets in the background instead of the moon and star :)

I still really miss the old one though :( Is there a particular reason why it is being changed...?

In another forum that I'm a member of, they have a sticky thread for members to send in their own designs for logos and banners. Whenever something new comes along that people really like, they just put it up!

Why not replace the little logo with a long banner, which would look something like the pic below... of course we could do something a lot more professional...

lol yeah everybody seems to be going logo-crazy! This could actually be more fun than messy. If we get a lot of people posting logos, we could turn it into a vote or something, but for now, I think people are just throwing out random ideas for the fun of it (like myself).

Also, not bad Alpha, but the words are almost invisible compared to the background -- try to go for a better colour contrast.

EDIT: Whoops didn't notice this...

ne sois pas triste Alpha dude..... I think your design is lovely .. it reminds me of ole cairo... I think the forum can use some sprucing up... I'd like some three or four arabesque designs interlacing these square boxes, and maybe a back ground of 'skies as if they have thought of rain'.. I am not sure I like pale blue :okay:
Anyhow, maybe you guys should run a competetion and have competent and 'emancipated' members vote for best design? just an idea :smile: :embarrass

I don't have time to make constant revisions of mine. I don't mean to sound horrible, but I have paid work which has to take priority over this and i hope people can understand that. I am quite happy to make one more version of mine and post the original one i did plus a new version but that is where it will have to end.

A poll would be a good idea. We should set up a deadline for entries and then all the final ones should be put together in a thread for people to vote and simply the one with the most votes should win.

if they could change the color of the logo to blue, it would be fine. Blue and green can't be together at the same place.

The new one is updated, modern. You except a more high-profile forum, instead of something like many newbie others.

Of course you can do better, but that's the decision of the owner.

My opinion at least. :sunny:

Well, the good thing about it is that it's green, which is the best colour (and the Prophet (peace be upon him)'s favourite), but unfortunately it doesn't match the purple or blue skin which most people have.
