Forum:2.8 Site Theme Update

On the contrary, we've left this quite late so thanks for bringing it up! If anyone has ideas or a draft, please share. 18:58, 25 September 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't think we can use that particular artwork for the logo. :<  The crown design cuts off parts of Riku and Aqua's head.  A rather big chunk.  Unless you want to keep it exactly as is, and just add the Wiki logo to the bottom.  --Ignis (talk) 22:34, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Like this. That works?  --Ignis (talk) 22:45, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * That looks good, if not a little small. In any case, it was just a suggestion. Perhaps it'd be better to take images from the boxart and make a logo more reminiscent of our current one? - 23:32, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Same size as our current one lol. I just didn't include the borders, but sure, here it is with borders!  Here's a full-sized one too, free of charge.  --Ignis (talk) 00:42, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Aand the box art version. Btw, why was the boxart deleted from the wiki?  o_O  Btw, my vote goes for the first one lol - I honestly hate 2.8's boxart anyway. --Ignis (talk) 00:51, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I vote boxart. Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 03:34, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I really like the first logo (the artwork one) personally. 15:40, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I vote for the crown logo. 16:27, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The boxart would be great for keeping the theme, but the crown would be a great twist. Chain is conflicted. Ehh.... I say the crown. 00:54, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I vote for the logo made from the Dengeki artwork. - 22:26, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I also like the Dengeki artwork the most, the argyle pattern can be found here. -- 15:42, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh! It's got Guilt instead of Lux though!  Still, me likey.  :)  --Ignis (talk) 17:42, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Don't mean to necropost, but we're gonna be changing this in January, correct? --Ignis (talk) 20:53, 18 October 2016 (UTC)


 * I believe so, yes. (Shard's argyle pattern has both Lux and guilt btw). It looks like we have 6 for dengeki and 1 for the boxart, so dengeki it is! Now we need to decide the colors for the background. 22:34, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Definitely a mix of pink/purple/black, though I think we'll have to go with a darker hue. --Ignis (talk) 03:22, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Blegh. I made some tweaks in the sandbox, but it looks like shit.  D:  Anybody got any better ideas?  --Ignis (talk) 03:39, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Okay, I think I found the perfect blend for the front page! Please take a look at the Sandbox to check it out. --Ignis (talk) 04:07, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Ugh, it's so pink. Can we get something that is more easy on the eyes, a darker theme perhaps or more white instead? All these fuchsia shades are so alarming, but maybe that's just me. -- 07:41, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Lol. How about now?  --Ignis (talk) 16:34, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Much better, thank you. -- 06:26, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Teeny suggestion: Let's expedite the update! I've already noticed three KH sites out there that recently updated their layouts with a 2.8 theme. And to be perfectly honest....I'm getting kind of sick of our current one. :< We've had it longer than any other theme ever, so...for the sake of variety lol, let's update it? Now? --Ignis (talk) 23:49, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Just 'cause other sites are doing it doesn't mean we have to. As far as I know, we've always updated the theme around the time of release, within the same month about. I personally like this theme the most out of all of them. Which sites though? I saw KHInsider updated, what else? Rex Ronald Rilander (talk) 05:05, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
 * KH13 updated their tabs with 2.8 stuff. --Ignis (talk) 08:06, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm all for changing the design soonish, but I think the Christmas theme comes before that, or does it? It would also be cool if ENX would say something on Ignis' concept since he started the topic. More particiption, or at least an opinion here and there, would be really helpful considering the topics that change the face of the wiki. -- 13:37, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Are you going to reuse last year's, or cook up a new one? --Ignis (talk) 14:53, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I think we can reuse it, if you have some better ideas go for it. -- 08:52, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I might. :)  Can I see the stuff you guys used more closely?  --Ignis (talk) 16:16, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Alright, December is here and with that it's time to update the site theme to the holiday variant. So....how do we do that lol? --Ignis (talk) 17:28, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
