Worse comes to worst, I press for the templates to be put into effect soon after the English release, because I doubt the E3 trailer quotes can be of help.}} | Worse comes to worst, I press for the templates to be put into effect soon after the English release, because I doubt the E3 trailer quotes can be of help.}} | ||
{{LA|Vtext=I'm glad you think this way, TNE. I have very mixed feelings on the matter. | |||
I personally understand completely why we frown upon fan art here. I think ''some'', a ''little bit'' is okay in some fields, and I agree that templates are a different matter. The images we have on there, however, are not fanart. They are sprites ripped directly from a game, only minus the red bar below. Anyway, I think it would be all right to use the new "BBS Style" talk bubble images. They look good, have a certain creativity about them, and are colorful and welcoming. | |||
However. For me, the templates we have are, er, fine. They look just fine, the images are official, and they look great. I don't see why we'd need to replace them. After all, the style of a talk bubble does not reflect the theme of a wiki. Just because it's Birth by Sleep does not mean we have to switch to a fan made theme. They're nice for talk bubbles, but not for official things. | |||
So... I respectfully decline. I know you spent ''a lot'' of work on the images, and I did too, but they lack a certain... quality. I can't explain it. | |||
So, sorry. But I'm against this. I like our current template theme.}} | |||
{{Maggosh|text=I must side with TNE on this one. We put plenty of work into those templates, and quite frankly I don't think it should be pushed aside. As well, changing the default skin, logo and background doesn't seem complete in terms of a theme. And about the fanart issue; isn't the logo fanart in and of itself? How is this any different?}} | |||
{{SC|time=04:36, June 28, 2010 (UTC)|text=I'm gonna go with TNE with this too. Just because we added some colored backgrounds doesn't mean we can't use a sprite. Really, if we're gonna go with a BBS logo, why can't we do it with the templates? So what if they have a different quality from the Days sprites? I don't see '''''any''''' other site with talk bubble sprites as high a quality and number as ours. So why not use them?}} | |||
{{BebopKate|time=04:44, June 28, 2010 (UTC)|text=I'm really sorry; I'm afraid part of this is due to a misunderstanding on my part. | |||
ENX told asked me if it was okay to use "fanart" on the new templates. I thought he meant taking pictures from ''actual pieces'' of fanart. I had no idea he meant the talk bubble avatars we've used that are made from official art. I have no issue with using those in templates, and I wouldn't think most others would, either. | |||
I do think, however, we need to keep templates somewhat consistent in appearance; it just makes them easier for admins to keep track of. If colors could remain similar, that would be nice.}} | |||
{{KrytenKoro|I just want to ask, for 2011 on, can we use a more "series" theme? I feel like we should eventually bring back some of the old templates, and we should emphasize our "comprehensive" nature, as well as celebrating all the good of the series, not just the most recent.}} | |||
{{TNE|time=05:28, June 28, 2010 (UTC)|happytext=Agreed. That's a good point. ^_^ I never knew how to talk about this...}} | |||
{{DTN|time=05:53, June 28, 2010 (UTC)|text=Yes, KrytenKoro and I discussed a 2011 "all-series" theme that shows the coming connection of the whole series, particularly ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', and ''Kingdom Hearts coded''. To do this, we would use older/varied maintenance templates, and a logo featuring Sora, Roxas, and Ventus. I definitely would support this in a heartbeat.}} | |||
{{Dan da Man36|time=08:20, June 28, 2010 (UTC)|lion=I was about to suggest using a Sora / Roxas / Ventus logo, until I saw DTN's post. ^_^ Anyway, I support the idea of an "all-series" theme, and if some don't like the idea of having Sora, Roxas, and Ven on the logo, how about a "Trinity" theme, featuring Sora, Donald and Goofy, with the Unversed symbol on the checkered background being replaced with the Trinity Mark? Green would be a nice colour to use if we go with this idea, and I don't think we've had a green theme here before.}} | |||
{{Organization 13|time=--{{User:Organization 13/Sig}} 08:59, June 28, 2010 (UTC)|text=Sounds good to me.}} | |||
{{TNE|time=11:32, June 28, 2010 (UTC)|happytext=Yeap, we haven't featured the Trinity very much, have we ? There's been SoRiKa, AkuRokuXion and now TVA... That's a really good idea !}} | |||
Couldn't we also consider Sora, Donald, Goofy and Mickey, Donald, Goofy? {{User:Organization 13/Sig}} 16:07, June 28, 2010 (UTC) | |||
:Well, we could consider Mickey/Donald/Goofy, but the reason why I was thinking of Sora/Donald/Goofy is because it shows the Square-Disney alliance. Then again, I'm open for correction ! ^_^' {{User:Troisnyxetienne/Signature}} 00:33, June 29, 2010 (UTC) | |||
