Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello?

It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - {{{time}}}

Keyblade-Blk.png So a few of us want to change over the wiki's layout, because the plain blue is getting a bit boring. Azul has given the okay, so I guess we're going to be going with a Days theme. Here's a list of ideas:
  • Switch from a blue theme to an autumn red theme like Days.
  • Get up a timer that counts down to the English release of Days.
  • Switch the Sora, Riku, and Kairi logo for a Roxas, Axel, and Xion one.
  • Perhaps change the ad placement for better convenience if possible.
  • Maybe we could start adding featured articles, quotes, and other interesting things.
  • Switch the picture in the Twilight Town bulletin board box for a Days image.
  • Change the name of Jiminy's Journal to Roxas's Diary for awhile.

Any other ideas or comments are welcome. Let's get this discussion going.

I liek 8D

But as I pleaded suggested in BebopKate's page I'm hoping for a light make over, talk bubbles added to a customized background might burninate my computer's chips and that would make me a sad gamer :(

If we're having a background change I suggest a solid color, perhaps a light orange/red to go along with the sunset autumn thing, images as backgrounds tend to go ugly on different resolutions and we really can't reach a decision on that one since everyone has different screens XD. I do like the customized background in the top of the FF wiki (as it doesn't make my computer attempt suicide). Perhaps something iconic to KH? Bond of Flame keyblade (since it goes with the autumn feeling) or maybe a Nobody symbol (since the game is mainly about nobodies)?

I also vote for something like the random quote thing they have in the FF wiki, that way everyone can get their suggestions and we wouldn't have to limit ourselves to a monthly quote that would require voting.

Keyblade-Blk.png I don't think anyone plans on changing the actual background color, white is fine. I just meant at the top like FFWiki did.

Ah well, that sets my heart at peace then. When TNE mentioned the changes in the sims wiki I thought she also meant the whole background change as in that wiki they changed the whole background for green... crystal... thingies... or something like that. But you're right, white is good and noble.

Keyblade-Blk.png I really like the idea of a Roxas, Axel, Xion look. So while I was bored I made these:

Just some logos I made. I can make them different if you want to use them or change to certain specifications.

I would say "KH Wiki" might look better - big K, big H, smaller "Wiki" underneath. Definitely in the KH font, though.

Or did you mean the other one? I think it looks a little weird with all that space next to it.

Keyblade-Blk.png Those images don't really go together well, why not use their faces from the ultimania?

It has to look professional though. If nobody has photoshop I can get it done by one of the graphics people on KHI.

Which do you think will suit the Days theme better ? Or think we should try something else ?

I was picturing something more like what we have now, simple face shots of the three characters (perhaps from the high quality renders?) so it somehow mirrors the one we have right now

I was messing around earlier and made this I tried to recreate as close to the original logo as possible, but hadn't thought of using the Ultimania images. The font isn't the same, but I tried. And I don't know how to insert linebreaks?Oblivionkeeper 04:46, 9 June 2009 (UTC) File:DaysWikiLogo.png

Anywayz, perhaps if you try with another font color, something that makes a contrast?

I like GS's images, but maybe in some other "form" that Heart of Oblivion made them...

I did this earlier today:

Don't I even warrant a hello, Lexaeus?

That would be cool, but I think that the one we use should have close up face shots like the one we have now, so that it looks like the exact opposite, since they're nobodies.

P.S. Do you know when this will be completed?

This might be a better time to work on it, since it's closer to the American release. I've seen various logos running around...maybe someone wants to set up a sub-page with a poll and we can start from there?

Keyblade-Blk.png I don't want to hurt feelings here, but I really don't think that any of the current logos that have been posted here are good enough to be the official site logo. Out of all of our affiliates, do we not have anyone to make a good quality logo for us? Who made the logo for the FF wiki? Perhaps I'll just have to ask around more.

blue.png I think that we should have a poll, like BebopKate suggested! does anyone else want that?

I also think that we should just have a logo that's "simple and clean" :P like the french Wiki logo for example: clicky me!

I recolored that logo red, and then I made another one with some shadow.
here they are: (I don't have them a part of my talkbubble so the difference/shadow can be seen!)

Keyblade-Blk.png Above is a screenshot of the wiki with a Roxas logo applied, that I think looks really great just like that. However, regardless of how good it might look, I suppose "Kingdom Hearts Wiki" must be written on it, so I plan to get "Kingdom Hearts" written across the top where his hair is using the font from the official Kingdom Hearts logo, faded in red to match the theme, and then just write wiki under that. I just need my friend to come online to finish the job, my internet crashed last night before I could get him to do it.

Let me know what you think.

(I'd also like to know if writing the name of the wiki is absolutely necessary for the logo, since it does say the name of our wiki in the option list below anyhow. If we can do without the text, I think it would look fine with just Roxas's face.)

Keyblade-Blk.png It looks good, GS. I think that we should have the text, because it kind of gets across that it's the way back to our "Home Page."

@Xiggie: I like yours, but should we really have something so similar to what the French KH Wiki has?

Untitled-1.png I like yours GS, but I think that it is just too simple! I mean... it's just Roxas' face in black 'n' white!

I think that adding "Kingdom Hearts Wiki" is absolutely necessary, and it will probably make it less "plain"...

I personally think that having a logo similar to the french KH Wiki is OK, and like Azul said, it'll only be for a month... and it's not like they'll "sue" us or something :P

Keyblade-Blk.png Simple is good, and like I said, I was planning on getting the text done from the beginning.

I personally don't care for the logo that the french wiki is using, and I also have to point out that the edges of the logo are sort of bad quality. Perhaps I'm just being picky, but either way, take into consideration that this is a Days theme, Roxas is more fitting.

For "Wiki", use an upside-down m, and the i and k from the kingdom hearts logo. It'll look more continuous that way.
