I also wanted to use this as an opportunity to discuss changes to the main page (since the happenings still say you plan on revamping it). I've noticed everywhere else where this was being discussed, the discussions seem to have died out. Unless you guys are done "revamping" the main page.  [[User:KeybladeSpyMaster|KeybladeSpyMaster]] ([[User talk:KeybladeSpyMaster|talk]]) 19:24, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

One option for the theme is to take a version of our current background, maybe with more of the official icons, or a version of the one seen on www.destinyislands.com, with the icons in either gray, or blue (Kingdom Hearts), gray/silver (Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories), and red (Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days) [[User:KeybladeSpyMaster|KeybladeSpyMaster]] ([[User talk:KeybladeSpyMaster|talk]]) 20:06, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

|text=And I just finished the logo. It's a simple replace of images, not too big a difference, using the images from the box art. Later, I may do the renders like Eternal Nothingness XIII suggested, I just did it this way because the current one uses official artwork, and when ENX suggested the renders, there was no new artwork. Still, here it is. If anyone can make the "Kingdom Hearts" part look more like the KHHD1.5 Logo, be my guest.

{{ShardofTruth|time=13:26, 4 February 2013 (UTC)|talk=I like the first logo a lot although the lettering is a bit hard to read when it's almost black on a black background. The argyle pattern is a bit bland, I don't know if it's the missing connective dots or because it's just black and white but there seems to be something missing. Maybe we should reduce the complexity of the pattern to the [[:File:Promotional_Art_03_KHD.png|KHD one]], this seems also more closer to the pattern on the KHHD cover.}}

UPDATE: Go to [[User:KeybladeSpyMaster/Gadget_Lab|my Sandbox]] to see a screenshot of the page with the new logo and background. I may get to fixing the background later. Also, the font size and type is different because it's my custom CSS, that part isn't part of the proposal.

I will help but aside from working on the css and providing this pattern I can't do more. I really don't want to involve myself into making another logo for the wiki. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 17:08, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

I would have to say that this is my favorite version of the logo; the rough draft of the main page with the new theme installed looks great, and it will look even better once the entire thing is ''KHHD''-ified. All that needs to be done now in my opinion is those pink bars (you'll see what I mean when you look at the rough draft; I understand you obviously couldn't change all of it) need to be turned gray, and I'd really like to see if we could get those group images of Sora, Riku, and Kairi, as well as of Roxas, Axel, and Xion (their ''KHHD'' renders) made to frame the "Welcome to the ''Kingdom Hearts Wiki'' message (they'd be placed on either side of it in my mind, in a similar fashion to Sora and the Meow Wow/Riku and the Komory Bat on the current main page).}}

|text=OK, just updated the screenshot with the background Erry gave, I somehow got an image on my sandbox that was too small to see, but it should work now. I would like to play around with the code if that's possible. I have tried using Google Chrome and its awesome capabilities to access a website's code and mess around with it temporarily, but I haven't been able to identify/access all the code. For example, I don't know what controls the headings of the side navigation bars. Stuff like that. I don't know. I just finished the first of the group pictures for the Welcome banner, and I might have the other by next week, since I'm kind of busy all this week.<br>
Now, an earlier question I posted was whether there was anything else, since I noticed in past theme-related forums that there were arguments over what I think are smaller details like something about some templates? (especially in the BBS Theme Forum). So, is there anything else?<br>
Finally, The background. We have two proposed, Erry's from the Kingdom Hearts portal, and mine, which I made. I agree, mine could use some help. I try to make them as good as possible, but also as quickly as possible. So, should we use the finished one, or should we use mine and I can try to fix it as quickly as possible? Or does anyone else have ideas on what to do? Discuss!

{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 17:22, 4 March 2013 (UTC)|default=I'm somewhat ambivalent. Your background looks more visually pleasing to me however Erry's background is an official background. If I would have to choose though, I would say go with the first background (we don't need ''everything'' official, do we?)}}
 
I decided to create my own rendition, all in all the same as Jh's but I fixed up the colors (Riku's was a bit too blue and added some contrast to all 3) and gave it a more darker appearance:

I just think that you could change the background color of Riku's picture to black, white, or grey instead of blue. - {{User:MateusinhoEX/SigTemplate}} 14:15, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 
So now, after taking MEX's suggestion, I decided to do a version with a "less-blue" Riku but both having a black/grey background:<br>

Well, I think at this point, considering FM, CAF and I are enough to set this theme in motion (since 3 vs. 2 if ENX and Jh disagree) so I will go ahead and change both (Monobook and Roundedblue) to KHHD themes. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 19:46, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

|text=I personally prefer my logo over Erry's simply because it contrasts better on the page than his. Of course, if that's just my opinion, than I can just change that on my own CSS page. That's my only complaint, the logo seems to get lost a bit easily in the background. In addition, if it makes MEX feel better, I do love your background.
EDIT: In addition, I finished the images for the banner, but I'm not sure if you guys still want them, since it appears they may already be done.<br>

It's perfect. I loved the theme. The only thing missing now is the background. I made two new versions, with the aligned correctly this time. Although, I still would rather to use the official background. I like mine more, but it's not very good.<br>
