G'day everyone. I know it's jumping the gun a bit, but while we're on the subject of [[Forum:Halloween Logo|logo variations]], what does everyone think about my proposal for a logo for Christmas? I started working on this when LiR introduced his proposal for the Halloween logo (click link to see what I'm talking about), so I thought I could put in a proposal for a Christmas one. Ho ho ho...?

:::::In the foreground, a small round table. On it are a plate of cookies and a glass of milk (perhaps a glass of nectar can be used to represent milk, as nectar in TS3 looks similar to milk IMO). In the background, to the left of the table, is a christmas tree, complete with decorations. The lights of the house are off, save one - a wall light in the next room, in which there is a staircase at the back. The light spills into the first room through a doorway. Two heads silently poke through the doorway, watching patiently and intently. They are children - waiting for Father Christmas. ―'''[[User:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="green">The</font>]] [[Message Wall:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="blue">Tim</font>]] [[User blog:WikiBuilder1147|<font color="lime">Man</font>]]''' <sup>([http://historyfiction.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Infinite Histories] • [http://galactic-crucibles.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Galactic Crucibles] • [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 The Sims Wiki] • [http://hallows-maleficent.wikia.com/wiki/User:WikiBuilder1147 Hallows Maleficent] • '''[[Special:Contributions/WikiBuilder1147|<font color="#006400">Why I'm here in the first place</font>]])'''</sup> 08:29, October 21, 2014 (UTC)

:::I agree with Nikel and Waikikamukow, I'm not a fan of the mosaic. When we did the Halloween theme, we didn't have the mosaic, it just showed the wiki background. I feel like that's our best option, unless we can find another image to use in its place.
:::Do we want to roll out a more extensive theme? I mean, for Halloween we had the logo, a recolored background, and new header colors. It would seem silly to go far for Halloween but not do the same for Christmas. That being said, what kind of theme changes would be best for a Christmas theme? Traditional Christmas colors are green, red, white and gold; three of those four colors are represented in the logo, so it would probably be best to keep them consistent in the theme as well. When I have a chance, I'll try out some styles on my test wiki and see how it looks. In the meantime, perhaps someone would be able to make a re-color of the current wiki background in either a shade of red or a darker shade of green? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 06:50, November 28, 2014 (UTC)

:::::[[File:Christmas theme mockup 1.png|thumb|200px]][[File:Christmas theme mockup 2.png|thumb|200px]]So I've gone ahead and done not one but two different designs of the christmas theme, the reason for which will become clear in a second. Before I get into it I'll preface this by saying that these were done on my test wiki so there might be a few differences to what it will look like if it gets implemented here, i.e. we don't have the create a page button on the "Recent Wiki Activity" siderail, the header is different, etc. The bottom image is the most similar to our current theme however I also made another one, being the top image. The main reason for this is due to the mosaic's grey-ish coloring messing around with the silver in the logo which we made. Things such as the exact shade of the header, button colors, color of the "on the wiki" nav header thing can all be tweaked further if need be, I took a shortcut and used the theme designer to get a rough design made quicker. A couple of the flaws I noticed when making this:
:::::*Background: I tried to mimic the current background we have in regards to how far down the page the plumbobs go, however as I only had the image from above it did turn out a little bit blurred. If someone with access to photoshop or similar would be able to get me a higher resolution one I'd be grateful for it!
:::::*Siderail headers: Again stemming from my lack of photoshop, I had to use MS Paint to make some "quality" headers. The obvious issue here is the fact that the plumbobs are in the middle of the bar, something which I could probably fix by making a new image. However, I'm not even sure about using this bar, as I feel like its not vibrant enough and the red looks a bit too pale.
:::::There's a couple of other things I'm not exactly sold on like the overdose of red - I wanted to try to put some green in there but I'm not sure where it would go without making the whole thing off balanced. What do you guys think? {{WHsig|04:25, December 3, 2014 (UTC)}}
{{od|:::::}}Forgot to mention that if you want to get a better look you can go to [[w:c:woganhemlockstest|my test wiki]] which is set up to look like the first image. If you want to get a better look at the second make a wikia.css page in your name and paste

Wogan, [http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/7/70/Wiki-background-red.png/revision/latest?cb=20141128123324 this] is the high-resolution version of the background. Even at that resolution, there may be a break in the background if displayed on a larger monitor (screenshot [http://i.imgur.com/iC8o6T3.jpg here]), so you'll want to make sure that you select the "fix" and "no split" options in theme designer. For visibility reasons I think we should get rid of the mosaic header; the word "wiki" barely stands out against that background. Also, maybe we could set the topnav menu to green, and change the modules using wikiheaderblue (such as the modules on the right bar) to a darker green, then change the modules using wikiheadergreen to red or gold? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 13:23, December 3, 2014 (UTC)

The discussion here seems to be focused on small details, whereas the overall logo and theme have gained approval from the group. I think it is probably best for us to just implement the new theme immediately and work out the small issues as we go along.

:::I suggested December 27 after looking at our Halloween design,and how the thrills of Halloween faded within a day, and the design seemed to have lost its appeal. As the holiday spirit seems to die quickly after the big day, it doesn't make sense to keep it up any longer than needed, but taking it down the day after seems a bit... wrong.
::: On an unrelated note, I did once leave Christmas decorations out for three years in a row. Seemed a bit weird when I woke up to it being Christmas every day in July. --I am [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 15:16, December 21, 2014 (UTC)
::::I don't really feel festive this holiday, and I also didn't celebrate Halloween. Actually, I don't even enjoy celebrating special days at all. When you said holiday spirits die quickly, I don't really sense it because... I don't even have that feeling from the beginning! If we keep the theme even until January, it's okay to me, albeit it will be thematically incorrect. :p [[User:Nikel23|'''<span style="color:#007FFF; text-shadow: #ACE5EE 0 4px 4px;">Nikel</span>''']] [[User talk:Nikel23|<span style="color: #30D5C8 ; text-shadow: #00FFEF 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Talk''</sub></span>]] <sub>–</sub> [[The Sims Wiki:Featured Media/Voting|<span style="color:red ; text-shadow:#E97451 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Vote!''</sub></span>]] 15:30, December 21, 2014 (UTC)
:::::It seems everyone agrees that '''December 27th''' is the day in which festive theme ends. [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 16:23, December 21, 2014 (UTC)
==Conclusion==
Christmas and the New Year have both passed, and I'm currently in the process of reverting the theme back to what it was. Therefore, we're done here (until next year!) Thanks for all your input. {{WHsig|07:02, January 1, 2015 (UTC)}}
