==What should a new theme be about?==
{{Resolved/mini|res| the new theme for late 2013 will be based on ''Into the Future''}}
The way I see it, we have a couple options regarding a late 2013 theme. For one, we could go with an autumnal theme (similar to how our Christmas 2012 was winter-themed, and our current Island Paradise is somewhat summer-y). ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]'' is also releasing in October, so it could be neat to see what The Sims Wiki would look like with a really sleek, modern look. Or, we can decide to not implement any theme at all. ''Or'', anyone who has any ideas for a theme I didn't list here can suggest it. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 02:05, July 31, 2013 (UTC)
:I think that we should start by reverting to the original theme, so we can have some time to start planning for a new one. Then I think it might be a good idea to go for a ''Into the Future'' theme, and once that is retired it might be a good idea to get something going for Sims 4, even though it won't be released until late 2014 it might spark some more interest in the game? {{PGRSig}} 02:36, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

:I was thinking we could do it with ITF for autumn 2013 and then to do a final theme in winter which has a relation to all of the expansions packs for the sims 3. {{JasonSignature}} 07:11, August 10, 2013 (UTC)
::Since TS4 will be unveiled at Gamescom in just ten days (on August 22nd), we might get some new material (like pictures of something more than eyes and stuff) to work with in order to create a TS4 theme. So, I was thinking that we could go with Into The Future to follow the current theme and then at the end of the year we could apply the TS4 one. {{DanPinSig}} 16:56, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
 
==Designing the new theme==
Alright, it seems that we're opting for a ''ItF''-based theme for late 2014. For the current theme, we changed menu and some other colors, the background, and (somehow only temporarily) the logo. For a late 2014 redesign, I think we should focus on the same features. So, we should identify a new color scheme to use, figure out some appropriate images to use as background images, and contact [[User:Erry|Erry]] to work on a wordmark design with ItF features (not sure what that would be... maybe change the colors and replace the plumbbob with a time machine or something). As for color scheme, I think a good scheme would be purple, white and light blue (like a steel blue). The ItF logo uses purple and white, and a light blue/steel blue resembles the time-travel effect and a futuristic look. As for the background image... maybe we should open it up to public submissions, and then pick the best submission. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 03:14, August 20, 2013 (UTC)
