Title: New Anaglyph Website


Algernon the infamous - July 27, 2007 05:03 PM (GMT)
Anaglyph's redesigned the website, as you probably noticed by now. I'd like to know what you think of it.

LOL, and I just updated our site this morning too. :lol:

It looks...well, I've got a mixed reaction. It certainly has a very nice clean feel to it. At the same time, it almost feels too clean, though I suppose you'll fill it up pretty quickly to dampen that issue. The advantage of that style is that you can kinda do anything with it. I find that it's a bit hard to navigate though. Obviously one side is the menu, the other has content, etc., but it's not a layout that I can readily use. Perhaps it's more "unique" in that it doesn't follow the standard layout as much, but at the same time I find myself pushed a bit away simply because it's a bit too nonstandard.

My biggest recommendation actually deals with the logo in the middle. It seems slightly hard for me to read, as in if I were randomly browsing websites, I wouldn't actually know who you are at first. Looks nice, but once again, too artsy is too much. Probably the other thing is the little mirrored 'A' in the middle. For the first few minutes I was trying to figure out why there was a stylized 'M' in the middle of the website. XD

Legitimate complaints, although I kind of liked the vertical logo because it's more interesting.

Affiliates and staff pages are coming. We're working out a cooler affiliate system than last time. :P

By the way, LIME GREEN AND BRIGHT PURPLE COLOR SCHEME MAKES MY EYES BLEED. REMOVE.

I happen to be fans of those colors myself, :D though I admit that perhaps the green could be a bit darker...darker...methinks tis nicer to be darker

This would be regarding the forum skin colors right? You may want to see the announcement. Won't be here for too long.

For the sake of his eyes I'll take it down for now though, it's usually good for a programmer to be able to see what he's doing. :P

It just clashes horribly. In the logo it was subtle enough not to notice, but the skin looked terrible. No offense. You should use more consistent color tones- black and lime green aren't the most eye-friendly either. =/

Neither is bright orange and white, Garrett. :P

Like I said, in no way was that intended to actually stay there for long. I'm quite well aware that it looks bad. I suppose it was a bit dampened for me because my current CRT is a bit old and doesn't draw colors as sharply as it used to (don't worry all my big Photoshop work is done on another system).

Yeah orange on white is hard to read if nothing else...

You should've seen an effect I was making earlier. You know how games come with those photosensitive seizure warnings? That effect would do it to 'ya. Once I'd turn it off my eyes would kinda freak out for a minute. Needless to say it isn't in the game. :P
