So if you have heard the recent news, [[The Sims 4]] is going to get a brand new redesign next week, which will affect its logos, icons, cover arts, plumbob, loading screens and main menu. This is obviously a big change, especially since the whole wiki is based around the old, now seemingly abandoned, design of The Sims 4.
 
Here are some examples of this new design:

Finally, for the wiki's theme, we could make small changes so that it resemble the game's new design, such as making the background we already have blue, and changing the logo to a dark blue version with the new Plumbob. The "Wiki" part would then be colored in the new Plumbob's shades of green to differentiate it. Here's a quick, messy mockup I made to show what I mean: [https://i.imgur.com/d0ca4FC.png] [[User:AireDaleDogz|<span style="color:#4B0082">✨AireDaleDogz✨</span>]] ([[User talk:AireDaleDogz|<span style="color:#800080">talk</span>]]) 19:30, July 13, 2019 (UTC)
 
:{{Edit conflict}} Updating the logos, box art, etc is simple enough, as you point out. In instances where the "official" logo clashes with our current theme (e.g. white logo on a white background), we can always keep the older logos until we figure out a good way of implementing them.
 
:But in terms of its affect on the wiki theme, I'd say don't sweat it. Even now, our wiki theme doesn't 100% adhere to the in-game theme. Blues and greens seem to permeate the entire ''Sims'' series, not just TS4, so there's no harm in continuing to sport those colors on the wiki. It's much more important that the wiki have a cohesive style throughout; it's not as important that the wiki theme matches the current-series game. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<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>''' 19:33, July 13, 2019 (UTC)
 
::Yeah, I've always thought the wiki resembled The Sims 3 the most in actual terms of design. As long as it does its best to represent The Sims Series as a whole in theme, I think we'll be okay. [[User:Auror Andrachome|Ѧüя◎ґ]] ([[User talk:Auror Andrachome|talk]]) 21:40, July 13, 2019 (UTC)
