andyuk200523 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Robb/Elissa, I understand that the TPR logo has a certain identity to it, however has anyone thought or even tried to change it for a fresher look? I love the current one, but wonder what it would take to have a Replacement logo...it would certainly need some class! Has this been thought about at all??

robbalvey Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I would love a new logo, it needs to use the Gadzoox.ttf font and fit the same size as the one above, but if you have any ideas or would want to submit one, GO FOR IT! No promises that we'll use any submissions, but it's great to see some ideas. --Robb GADZOOX.zip Gadzoox Font
andyuk200523 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 First attempt, let me know if it is anything like what you guys would be interested in....I have loads of ideas, let me know. 1st Attempt - Big Thunder Mountain in the background.
robbalvey Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 ^ I'd like to keep the TPR colors and I think the background clashes a bit with the foreground. The "Theme Parks - Roller Coasters - Fun!" is kind of hard to read.
TheStig Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 ^It looks like a Big Thunder that's been pastel'd or something.
Sir Clinksalot Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I dunno, if it's not broken, why fix it. I like the OG TPR stuff. Just like the layout of the main-site. It's been that way, well, forever. Nothing wrong with it. And who knew there was a Gadzoox font. I sure didn't.
Jds03 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I made two. I made these sort of fast. I could make a better one if you like. Background: Joker's Jinx Background: Maverick
robbalvey Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 ^ Too busy. The background fights with the text which fights with the colored shadows, etc. There's coasters, there's text, there's effects, there's just too much. Keep it simple. That's my preference. --Robb "Look at Google's home page...I prefer that." Alvey
Wes Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I forgot I made this when I was bored earlier this week...I threw it together pretty fast but its an idea.
Jds03 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I made another attempt. I tired to make it less complicated... but thats hard for me. Edit: I made a softer once since it showed up brighter than I expected online. Background: Storm Runner I cut out the insides of the intamin track.
hansrubens Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I really like the old school style it is right now. Not that I don't like your attempt but it's the simple style I prefer. -----Hans
robbalvey Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 ^ You tell me, does that look any better: http://www.themeparkreview.com/ --Robb
Crazy4Coasters! Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 It actually looks cleaner. It's nice, I like it.
coasterdude5 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I agree, it looks very clean. I think you should keep it.
BeemerBoy Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I like how it looks....it's a keeper! Although I do somewhat like the second one at the top of this page too.
CreditCrazy Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 It kinda blends in with the black backround, but I like it. I say keep it!
Wes Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 ^ You tell me, does that look any better:http://www.themeparkreview.com/ --Robb It looks awesome to me. Now we just need to get to work on updating all the graphical stuff below it!
Wes Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Actually, use this one, it's spaced better, the yellow is a little more legible, and I added the dashes inbetween the words.
hyyyper Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 eww...no dashes, they are horrible. But if possible, i'd line out the yellow under the TPR-world and center it on 'park'.
Mechanic Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Until I viewed this thread earlier, I had never consciously noticed that the background of the old banner was coaster track. When I did take a closer look at it, I was kind of disappointed that it didn't show through clearly enough to have ever caused me to notice it before. (And I consider myself to be reasonably observant, even if my eyesight isn't quite as good as it once was.) That said, the new, cleaner banner that Wes made does look much better. I agree that it's a keeper.
TPDave Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Looks, nice! Maybe slightly more of an outline on the letters though because it might get lost on the front page. It looks great here but the rest of the page isn't black so the box frames it really well, but when the rest of the background is black the text might not have the same impact.
