new benheck forums logo?

Post by eagle5953 »

The rather nondistinct "benheck.com Forums" logo at the top left of the forum page has always bothered me. It's sufficient, but rather forgettable. The best sites on the web have great logos, and they don't have to be complicated, either. Look at the straightforward logo that digg uses:

I was thinking something appropriately retro while retaining readability. I came up with this:

What do you think? Let's make it so!

We have a memorable one a while back. But since we got the skin upgrade a while back. It was removed the sake of the forum skin looking nice. (Which is ok to me. Becuase I like this fancy new skin)

Anyways, Here's the old logo we had:

Yours is an ok logo... a little too Disney for my taste. I kinda like the logo we have just because its simple.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Actually, I was inspired by the text used in Super Mario Allstars (SNES).

the text on the bottom, obviously

It was just a thought I was throwing out there. Like all things subjective, opinions will vary.

Edit:

Here's a mockup of what it would look like.

It's 8-bit-olicious.

I'm not saying that the current logo isn't nice. I just like the whole pixelated text it fits retro style game modding better.

Oh this note, I want a benheck shirt with this logo!

I'd be fine with the old circuit logo. But really, I don't come here for the header.

I'm thinking I just might have to make an iron-on transfer with that design...
