Forum:Halloween Logo

Forums: Index → Community discussions → Halloween Logo | Post

As you can see on the right, I've created a new wiki logo to use on the wiki around Halloween. I would like to propose that we use the logo from around October 15 to about November 2. I am not explicitly proposing any other theme changes, though if someone wants to propose them here that would be alright with me. I have used my test wiki to try out a few design ideas, but ultimately any changes to the global navigation, wiki navigation colors, Wikia modules, or buttons tends to make the rest of the wiki's theme clash. As well, I haven't been able to find a good background or header image to use in conjunction with a Halloween theme. So ultimately at this time I'm only proposing that we adopt the logo.

Thoughts? -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 06:39, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

P.S. - I'm also open to any criticisms or alternative design ideas, such as a different image to use besides the pumpkin or a different color to apply to the logo. However in my own biased opinion, I think it looks good as-is (otherwise I wouldn't have uploaded it). -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 06:41, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

The logo is adorable, however I'd opt to also change the background to fit the theme. Green doesn't look good with spooky and scary. That's next month! Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 06:44, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

I agree. I'm just not sure what kind of background to use. I looked into the background we used for the Supernatural theme two years ago (which was, after all, vaguely Halloween-ish) but the background is designed for a non-fluid width design, so unfortunately most of the image wouldn't be visible anymore. I also considered simply taking our current background image and changing the color to something darker, but I'm not sure how I'd do that. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 06:51, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

P.S. again - This is the theme I was working on on my test wiki. As you can see, I'm missing a background and header image. If someone can think of something to use, perhaps we could implement a wider theme? -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 06:56, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

I think maybe a orange background with orange Plumbobs (of different shades of orange) will do, maybe a Jack-O-Lantern here and there. While not really a background, it's hopefully a nice inspiration - [1]. --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 11:02, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

I'm not quite following... Can't we replace all blues to purples and greens to oranges? I don't know if the theme will clash, but I quite like the tone of purple and orange. As for the background... Can't we have the same current background but re-toned to purple? [2] (I'm really not good at this) Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 07:23, October 5, 2014 (UTC)
