The new logo looks very cool but must be a lot larger than the previous one and it's taking heaps longer to load on every page.
Not sure if anyone else is noticing this ?

Yuk:spew: Dont like it at all.
Looks like someone was on something when they made it up
Back ground too hard too see.
Bring back the old one...:thumbsup:
The only thing that i think is bad is that the Y series HSV on there dusn't look mean enough...change it for a clubby!:thumbsup:

No offence to the logo creator, but that logo is @#$%^&*
You cant see the cars in the background, even if you do adjust your monitor settings. Bring back the old logo.
:stick:
I like it - no problems with download speeds as most browers should be able to cache the thing after the first view. More work friendly than the last one which would catch people's attention as they passed.

I like it. :thumbsup:
Only sugestion I could make is to make the text a little more prominant.

It isn't that bad, although I do agree the text should be more noticable. Also, shame about the HRT car, it seems to be sponsered by '1 liboM' ;) . Maybe that should be mirriored.
I dont mind it, I think it could do with a better font though, and maybe move all of the text to the left hand sign. :D

Logo's looks good :thumbsup:
can see all the cars fine and can see the font fine
good job .
and i think the reason the mobil 1 is mirrod is so the logo does not breach copyright of mobil etc etc

I like it, not as "in your face" as the old one. A change is as good as a holiday....
i like it. something supurising now and again keeps things interesting. I see the mods still dont like the ones i submitted:p

i like it!, dunno what ur talking about with load times, u only have to load it once.... I got a sneak peak last night and my opinion hasnt changed i really like it :)
its subtle and easy to look at, not so bright, which is great late at night.
I like it! now we just need some new buttons to match :)

Well done to the creator, I think you have done well. IMHO I think it looks a lot more professional. Nice one.

As Elmis said your browser will cache it the 1st time it loads it, also if you guys can't see it then maybe you need a new monitor or some glasses :doh:

I cant see any cars, and ive got both screen settings up on brightest.
My screen must be f*^ed. Ive noticed I cant see heaps of photos lately. If I put them on photostudio and brighten them I can see them.
I copied the new title on photostudio and had to put the brighten thing up to 50 , just so i can see the cars in the background.

The new trial logo is only 21k in size, making is less than half the file size of the old one. This is due mostly to the fact that it is not (currently) animated.
I tossed the new one together while playing around in photoshop .... wanted to experiment with a number of different effects/processes and needed a subject matter to practice on. I have been thinking for a little while now, after visiting a number of other car forums) that our logo seemed a little "cartoonish" and unprofessional. With our forum now gaining massive increases in hits each month, I felt we needed a change. This design is much less "In Your Face" and is just a logo to let users know where the hell they are, not announce it to everyone around you at the same time, which is what the bright flashy logo was doing. The other designs I'm experimenting with follow this theme (subtlety) also.
To those who simply say "It's crap", try posting something constructive, like a suggestion for a change/alteration. Or turn off "show pictures" in your browser :fewl:
We aren't running another comp for a new logo, but I'm open to suggestions. The HRT car is backwards 'cause I was only "playing around" and was too lazy to find a photo from a front left quarter shot. Now that it looks like a permanent thing, I'll endeavour to find a shot without the mirroring.
R8LS1 - Your monitor sounds fuxored - the image displays fine on 3 monitors of mine and 2 separate computers running different gamma settings - and a few other users appear to be having no issues.
JLR - it not a matter of not liking designs others have submitted - this change was not a planned thing .... just something I posted in the mods forum for some feedback and the general feedback was positive, so we gave it a try.

Nice modern look to it.:flip3:

I personally prefer the old logo - even noticed D&T website had pirated the car for there main screen.
The new image is too dark for me to make out on this old laptop ( sees a hard life in cars , they only seem to last 6 months then need a changeover , this one is halfway through its life)

same here, I know my monitor is dark but I couldn't see a hint of the cars until I looked at the pic in photoshop. :cool:
When I did see it I liked it, although I'd rather it had a VU ss ute than the race car (but that's just because I want one)

I like it. At least it is not like those porn sites with all those gaylord colours that I see as my workers struggle to turn off quickly as I walk pass. At the moment I only see Blue screens.
Looks good, but hard to make out the cars i the background. Well done, alot better job than I could muster.

Actually the new logo is 22k where the old one was 50k ... so it's less than half the size.

Send them again Jeff ... the ones you submitted wouldn't blend with the current theme. :)
This is for everyone .. if you have a logo you think is good send it to moderators (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/sendmessage.php) and we will discuss it. Anyone can submit a logo for the top and if we like it we might just use it :)
We did have a logo competition a while ago and might have another one again soon.
Need to have something new for the next batch of t-shirts :D

I think you meant Trademark ..
No copyright on a photograph unless the photographer hasn't given permission to use it .. if you take the piccie then it is up to you as to wether there is copyright on it. Remember tho if you take a picture and then put it into the public domain (ie. On the net) without a copyright notice then it is free for all to use and not subject to copyright ... :) It's free advertising for Mobil .. we are not the Mobil forums are we hehehe :)

D&T would need to be careful because they could have their arses sued off by Holden for breach of copyright and intellectual property. We had proxy approval to use the image but even the it was not official permission. I doubt VERY VERY much that GM would allow D&T to use this image.

It's okey, but there is HRT and HSV and no Holden.

Just loaded it up on a new computer at work, which has a two week old monitor on it and the background cars are still VERY HARD TO SEE.
So Sidey, it's not just my home PC.

Maybe you need an attitude transplant? :stick:
Have you ever thought there might be a problem with the logo?
I was able to see it by loading it into Photoshop and "lightening" up the image heaps....maybe that could be done with the one that loads up when I look at the forums?

I think it looks pretty flash. I like the whole "watermark" thing. A few service shops I've been to use it on their invoice and it looks very professional.
BTW GENIIItiger, what was that, there's no utes in it! (ha ha).:stick:

If you can't see the logo then in the easiest explanation I can give is that your monitor is up the shit, the contrast/brightness settings are not quite right or you need glasses...
If any of you have some constructive comments or a logo/buttons you've designed we would be happy to hear or look at them.
