Remember just one thing : what makes a good theme ? Balances & harmony.
Every little detail matters but you need to get the whole picture in mind.
That is why I was waiting for precise answers to my questions.

Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

That's why you have to make the right choice with the colour background :
Version 2, 3 or 4 ?ᴶᵛᵀᴬ wrote:

I like no margins but I don't really have a preference.

Hi everybody
I think you do'nt have to use these awful yellow, orange and brown colors. Even for a tribute to the original dune's graphical work.
If you want to perpetuate the Frank Herbert's legacy, it would be smart to show that it is still current today.
So heres my little contribution to the brainstorm http://www.colorizeit.com/styles/phpbb- ... h5ul5ts2dO
A little mix between "Ibad blue" and "desert sand". What do you think about it ?

Re: Theme
I wouldn't mind seeing some more grey.
The grey rocks towered above him now, made giant by his nearness. As he
listened, he heard birds invisible in that cliff, the soft calling of winged
prey.

Re: Theme
Definitely the darker one. Maybe even a color that contrasts more with the background?

Re: Theme
The logo looks a little rough around the edges, doesn't it? Sorry to be so picky, maybe we should just go with a solid color?ᴶᵛᵀᴬ wrote:

Re: Theme
I'm gonna try to get a better one that fits with the background, although I fear that a over complex banner that looks amazing in full size just doesn't translate well as a logo. But graphic design is not my job, so I'm learning one step at a time.
I could get another version of the existing one without the pixel edges too.
What do you guys think?
Also, is DuneFishUK still around? 'Cause he's way more qualified than I am in this.
(I have a graphic designer friend that might help if he's not too busy, I'll check)
