Chat Banter- General Chit Chat

[Brad P]

Hey there!

Just got my forum out there. I'm running a custom theme made by @MattiGB (its almost) default theme, so not much to be seen on that matter.

I'm looking for suggestions on the logo and also on the look for a clean looking blue template. Of course, if you wish to become a member, go ahead.

Have a great weekend!

I'm looking for suggestions on the logo

if the forum is all banter, I have to say the logo looks more like Call Banter

 

[Brad P]

Yeah I just created it free on a online logo maker. I tried to use a speech but its probably a little to close

 

[Mr Lucky]

I can see how it's almost going to work. If only the forum name started with a C

Call it Chat & Banter, then it might work!

Thank you for the lovley feedback its only been live a few weeks.

Looks great!

I don't like these 2 category names:

Community Related
Leisure Area

For starters community-related is more about the leisure stuff because that is your community.
And Leisure Area just sounds weird.

I'd do something like:

Site Info
Community

You know what when I read what you said and looked at the site you are completely right. I've taken your comments on board and implemented them. Thank you for your kind words also.

100% better! Looks great man.

Your original login/register/search styling was neat. Looks like now it's back to default. I think the former was better. Everything else looks good. Good job!

When I mentioned the logo not making sense with the previous name, it was because the half speech bubble icon looked like a C.

I would make use of that possibility with the new name:

The logo is the only part troubling me at the moment. I hopefully have a designer working on one today and will post results. The inspiration should be starting with the C for sure

My mockup is pretty crude (it doesn't quite looko enough like a speech bubble anymore) but if you have a pro (or experienced/talented) designer they would make that idea work much better. Or something else completely!

Some updates today








Just waiting on a new logo to be implemented and then the its complete.

I have deleted some posts which were related to a site which isn't even running XF software, so clearly it's not possible to do a direct copy of the style.

If you still have any issues, take them up with the thread author privately.
